Re: 9/14 - 9/27 Game Discussion Thread

well papelbon is finished in washington. though i think he was only there until the end of the season anyways but hes officially gone now. how many times since he got traded to the nats that he has had encounters with others in the dugout since?

Unless the team takes on any part of his contract, he's not going anywhere. He had a vesting option for 2016 that has already vested. He needed to finish 100 games over the 14 and 15 seasons. And he is at 103 so far this year. So he still has 1 year 13 million left on his contract. That's why when he was traded he wanted to go somewhere he would be the closer. So he could guarantee his 2016 option and he got that.

I can't stand Papelbon....and think Harper is just a big a douchbag....but...

Harper runs his mouth about Papelbon hitting Machado(or throwing at him?)....is that correct?
Papelbon then gets on Harper for not playing out a ball?(is this correct?)

So is the manager. Matt Williams proceeds to put him in the 9th and Papelbon and crew give up 8 runs (2 ER and 5 runs total accredited to Papelbon).

So, Bryce...you had a question earlier this year?

Where’s my ring?

It's too bad they won't catch Pittsburgh. I really wanted them to host that WC game, and then hang around Wrigleyville all day/night, win or lose, fun times would be had.

Arrieta is just completely filthy right now. He's got his cheat code stuff tonight. Perfect through 4.

No hits through 13 IP on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball this year...

Is Arrieta a free agent? The man is having the season of a lifetime.

Arbitration eligible next year for the 1st time. Free agent in '18 according to B-Ref.

Not looking good tonight, thankfully they wont the first two .

Re: 9/14 - 9/27 Game Discussion Thread

OK, so Arrieta's BAA vs lefty hitters is at .160 now. Lowest over a season for a RHP since Pedro.

In light of the Papelbon/Harper brawl tonight, I just couldn't resist making this:

Ok, actually after watching this, I respect Pap's response to the media much more than Harper's.
