Oh boy... the Nats just sent your former closer to the DL, Jeff. You might have been right about him having shoulder issues!

 

[JBrax]

Hate to see it but that arms got some mileage on it. Hopefully it’s just 10 days and he’s back at it.

 

[JBrax]

Our boys continue to battle it out for worst record @Todd Anderson. 2nd inning and the Royals are already down 4-0 to the Cardinals. OOF!

 

[phillihp23]

Need the Astros to lose to the mariners. Cant be having them pull away from the A’s.
Need my Oakland A’s to bring the season home.

 

[Todd Anderson]

A's are looking really solid!!!

@JBrax Huge series starts tonight. We need to lose 2 of 3

 

[phillihp23]

I saw the o’s stopped the bluejays winning streak.

 

[Todd Anderson]

Yeah - they hammered the Blue Jays pretty good. No love lost there - made me happy! ;-)

Hahaha, sad that we’ve been reduced to this huh? I’m afraid we’re not going to catch you guys. At least I’ve got football season to ease my despair.

@JBrax

I can’t remeber if I’ve mentioned this (ignore if I have)... check out a podcast called R2-C2 Is Interupted.

It’s CC Sabathia and color commentator named Ryan Ruocco. If you like baseball you’ll love this podcast. CC is a great personality - guy is hysterical - and they have some really interesting guests. Everyone from Mark Cuban to Adam Jones... yesterday they featured David Cone.

It’s typically recorded inside Yankee Stadium...

Lots of inside baseball talk. Lots of fun major league stories... and some great banter about the life of a ball player.

@phillihp23 you might enjoy it too! ;-)

 

[JBrax]

Thanks for the tip I’ll check it out!

 

[JBrax]

@Todd Anderson Check out Brad Keller tonight. One of the young pitchers that has looked really good. We’ve got some nice pieces in place for the next wave of minor league talent that’s about to come up.

 

[Todd Anderson]

Keller looked money... he threw a solid 8!

 

[Todd Anderson]

THANK YOU, KC!

 

[JBrax]

Hahaha, no doubt the Orioles are deserving of that first pic. Whew!

 

[Todd Anderson]

I really can't watch at this point.

The titanic has settle on the ocean floor. Sharks are feasting. The last few cabins are filling with water.

 

[JBrax]

Yes sir they are a train wreck of epic proportions. We’re not much better but there are glimpses of light at the end of the tunnel.

 

[Todd Anderson]

The O's are just giving players a look at this point. There's zero coordinated effort to try an win games.

I think the pipeline has some good talent in it... they've been very active on international signings over the last few weeks. And have their sights set on several good players.

I'd say 2-3 years and Baltimore will be back

Astros clinch postseason berth with 11-3 win over Angels!

 

[Todd Anderson]

Congrats to Astros!

O’s Clinched the #1 pick in the draft yesterday... 2 wins shy of setting the major league record for most losses in a season

 

[tripplej]

It's October so that means post season!

Per yahoo, below is the bracket.

 

[Todd Anderson]

@phillihp23 sorry about your A’s. They walked into a buzzsaw last night. The Yankees are firing on all cylinders right now.

Crazy that the A’s closer had a sub-1 era, and it seemed like the Yankees just walked right through him

 

[tripplej]

Astros beat the Indians. Onward to the next round!

 

[Todd Anderson]

The Astro pulverized the Indians... wow. That was a total beat-down yesterday. They are looking awesome!

Yes, a disappointing loss. Overall it is quite amazing that a club house like Oakland can push such great talent compared to the big money houses like New York.
