Sore Bicep for Velazquez.

I always find it weird when pitchers have biceps soreness. I don't even understand how that happens. I've never once felt anything in my biceps during or after throwing.

Gotta think they're sick of Ventura at this point. Too many shenanigans on what I think is am otherwise likable team.

Wonder what they can get out of a trade. Wonder who'd even trade for that loser.

About 29 other teams. He throws 100 is still very young, and has shown flashes of dominance in the past. At worst he can turn into a dominant late inning RP who throws north of 100. I'd have ZERO issue with the Mariners buying low on him. Maybe send DJ Pederson, and another mid-level prospect. His anticts don't concern me one bit. That's an easy fix.

I just heard on sports talk radio earlier (brought up by the hosts not listeners). Either JBJ or Shaw. And I wouldn't be too mad at that trade. Because like Gododgers said Ventura is still young, on a cheap contract and throws hard. And at worst can be the next Wade Davis.

I dunno, the guy is immature as hell. That would be a huge risk to take especially in a media market like Boston that WILL get on his case for being such a knucklehead.

I also wouldn't trade JBJ at this point unless you're getting something that you KNOW will pan out and not some headcase who may be out of the game in 5 years.

You mean the streaky CF that has sucked since his hit streak ended. He is so streaky that's why I wouldn't mind moving JBJ for him. When he first got called up he sucked after a great ST. To the point where he was a throw in, in most trade proposals. He is most likely a .250-.260 10 HR Max guy with a great CF and I know you gotta give up something to get it back in return. He would be the piece I'm most willing to give up for Ventura.

Bullpen reclamation projects aren't worth young, quality CFers.

Re: 5/31 - 6/12 Game Discussion Thread

It goes back to the before conversation we've had in the forums.

MLB eventually needs to step up and levy a hefty penalty for such foolery. There is no reason the league should or for that matter CAN condone somebody throwing 100mph at somebody intentionally, with intent to hurt.

James Shields lol.

6 runs given up 3 outs recorded so far.

[Steven78]

Re: 5/31 - 6/12 Game Discussion Thread

Shields goes 2+ innings, 8 hits, 7 earned, 84 pitches and he's done.

Who thought a flyball pitcher going from pitcher friendly SD to Southside Chitown was a good idea?

Lol...

Braves sign Kelly Johnson in 2015 and flip him to the Mets for a prospect.

Braves sign Kelly Johnson in 2016 and flip him to the Mets for a prospect.

...I'm seeing a trend.

Beltran is just killing it tonight... again.

He sure is. He's been carrying this offense.

And yet Parmelee is stealing the show tonight, go figure.

Pirates bullpen blew the game, but I'll take 2 out of 3 from the Mets. Tallion was solid, with really one bad mistake in the two run shot.
