Here's a question: if Hamilton indeed goes back to Texas how many of his former teammates are there? It seemed like he had a good support structure down there and they kept him from self imploding on himself.

Wasn't there some coach over whatever with him there too. I don't remember if the guy went with him to LA or not, though.

Jerry Narron. Apparently with MIL now.

FINALLY!!!

Scherzer injured his thumb while batting and said he now thinks the DH makes sense. With Waino's injury, I wonder if it'll happen? If an injury to a catcher changed the game, certainly is naive to think an injury to a pitcher on a "unimportant" act could strike a change.

I wouldn't entirely like it, but I do get it as MLB could use it a reason to boost offense (though it'd be a temp fix with today's hitters being such free swingers).

Garrett Richards blew out his knee running to cover 1st base. Let's just make all ground balls to 1st automatic outs. Don't want pitchers to get hurt.

Wait, Ryan Howard and Manny Machado both hurt themselves swinging, too. Better not let 3B or 1Bs hit either.

Be an athlete, Max. Quit bitching.

Sounds like a pretty empty mailbox to me.
