2018 MLB Thread Part Two

[WrongVerb]

Cubs closer Brandon Morrow heads to 10-day DL after hurting his back taking off his pants:

Morrow said he felt back spasms early Monday morning when he was getting undressed at home after the Cubs had returned from a night game in St. Louis.

"It's frustrating any time you can't get out there, especially when you can't go for something as stupid as taking your pants off," Morrow said. "Getting hurt any time is frustrating, but when it's not related to throwing a baseball, it's even more frustrating."

Interesting that Escobar has already doubled (sic) his doubles total from last year in barely over half the at-bats

Joey Votto would have broken that record in 2012 if he hadn't gotten injured.

I believe that as well.

As pointed out by the Reds FSO gang lately, STL sucks when they're not playing CIN.

That's because they were playing the Red Sox and they gave him away, too, after the Reds let them steal him.

Our old friend...

His OPS up to .609 now....

These minor arguments on certain plays (sliding into 2nd for example) where players disagree and angry but nothing much else and then the dugouts evacuate for no reason and then 20 seconds later the bullpen guys test their hamstrings by flying in....just dumb and ridiculously overreacting. Just dumb.

Jesus beats the Cardinals

Brewers need to get DeGrom.

Kyle Schwarber has a positive defensive rating as far as fWAR goes.

Just a few random thoughts there.

Baltimore and Atlanta had a weird one:

Steven Wright first pitcher since 2009 to give up 10 ER and not take the loss, guess it's not enough for him to be Steven Wright Red Sox knuckleball pitcher, he has to be Steven Wright the comedian, too.
