Stanton in RF
Betts to CF
Benny to LF

Mouth salivates

Sox are near the bottom in HR as well.

I think the Boston brass are a little gun shy after the previous Adrian Gonzalez/Carl Crawford debacle

[packsyd2284]

They aren't trading Stanton to Boston, you would have to give up too much for him and the team frankly is fine without him at this point.

[Cnasty]

Is that a guarantee?

Joey Votto is amazing

He is like that WWE heel to opposing fans. He did this last night.

We were talking old WGN Cubs games, the one on right now has been awesome. Cubs down 9-0 after 2 tie it in the fifth, now down 11-10 top 8. Crazy game, hahahaha

Awesome boxscore for the Mets/Yanks game last night.

Background info:

Mets have to scratch two infielders before the game with pulled ribcage muscles. They only had 4 IF on the roster for the game (poor management planning?). Therefore, Travis D'Arnaud makes his first career start at 3B. But, it's also his first career start anywhere other than C. So, to protect him from fielding grounders, he plays 3B against LH batters and 2B when RH batters come up. He swaps back and forth with Asdrubal Cabrera repeatedly. The result: they do 22 position changes during game and you get a box-score like this:



Due to the swapping, he only had to field one batted ball.

Only in baseball!

Stanton is a monster

[shel311]

Trout missed around 40 games or so?

He's still 6th in the MLB in WAR at 6.1 in 91 games.

A report is set to come out that the Red Sox stole signs from the Yankees and other teams using Apple Watches.

[shel311]

Boston teams and cheating, go hand in hand!!!

[shel311]

I know you are but what am I!!!

The Red Sox responded in kind on Tuesday, filing a complaint against the Yankees, claiming that the team uses a camera from its television network, YES, exclusively to steal signs during games.
