2015 MLB Gamethread

Kazmir to Houston. Nice move.

[Youk Of The Nation]

If you had told me a few years ago that in 2015, a game between Kansas City and Houston would have serious meaning and be exciting to watch, I would have laughed at you harder than the last bank manager I asked for a loan.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Cueto to the Royals. Kansas City is serious about not being a flash-in-the-pan contender. They're going to be good for a while. More like the 2008 Rays than the 2005 Astros.

Might I inform you that last year, Sports Illustrated picked the Astros to beat the Cubs in the 2017 World Series?

[Youk Of The Nation]

I really hope the World Series ends up Washington-Houston this year. It'd be cool to have the winner be a first-timer.

No it wouldn't.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Better than the Yankees winning. Or another Cardinals or Giants win. If it can't be the Sox, I'd rather it be someone who has either never won before, like Houston or Washington, or someone who hasn't won in a long, long time like Kansas City or Pittsburgh.

ABY definitely, but I could not care less if one of those horse s*** organizations wins it.

I'd love to see a Pirates Royals WS.

I'd love to see a Pirates Royals WS.

That would be an interesting Matchup.

[Thunder]

I just want to jump on someone's bandwagon. There can't be two underdogs in the WS. In thinking something like Astros-Dodgers or Pirates-Angels. But what I THINK it will be is Angels-Cardinals.

Anyone is better than the Yankees winning. I'm with you. If it can't be the Sox, let it be someone who hasn't won in a while. I have a soft spot in my heart for the Cubs, but I'd be good with any of those other teams you mentioned.

This can't be repeated enough. The World Series being canceled due to WWIII would be better than the Yankees winning it, so why not a franchise with a lot of history, like the Pirates or even the Cubs?

[Spudboy]

David Ross threw an 8 pitch 1-2-3 inning of relief and the homered when he came up.

 

This house sho gone crazy.

KC's Cueto just got out Toronto's Tulowitzki in a 3-3 game.

I'm never going to get used to Tulo in a Jays uniform. Or Cespedes in a Mets uniform. He's bounced around a bit in the last year. Sox, then Dey-twah, and now NY? Jeez.

A lot of big players changed laundry this week.

[a700hitter]

Cueto with 6 innings and 111 pitches against a very tough Blue Jays lineup. KC is leading 5-3. They will need 3 innings from their superb bullpen.

[Thunder]

Rangers just exploded on Bumgarner. Other than the fact that this costs my fantasy team a QS, I came to this conclusion: Their offense is obviously good, but all I really see on that team is Fielder, Moreland, Hamilton, and Beltre. Why can't we do so much with so little?

[a700hitter]

Harvey is still leading the Nats 1-0. Lagares just made a very nice catch on a ball over his head. Curious to get RSFFLs opinion on Lagares. He can go and get them as well as anyone.

[a700hitter]

Four straight hits by the fearsome Blue Jays offense against the Royals pen. Tulo, Donaldson and Bsutista with consecutive lasers and the Royals lead is cut to 6-5 with runners at first and third with no one out. Royals go to the pen again.

If he is their CF then he must be the guy many say is the only CF in MLB that rivals JBJ.

 

I'd like to see him play.

Yes, that's him. He has a bad elbow (probably needs TJ) so he can't throw very well right now.

Maybe I should come to NY and meet you for a game!!!

Hey, that would be great. We want to see DeGrom, Harvey or Syndegard. Those guys are good.

Harvey is a beast. Mets just need more offense. I just heard that next year they will spend as they used to, is it true?

Mets fans are very skeptical. The ownership has been less than aggressive for years now. They need a couple of Nats and the team could be special.

I heard that something is/was wrong with their books/irs or something like that, and that next year they will be clean again.

[a700hitter]

Lots of exciting games tonight. Starling Marte just made a diving catch for the last out in the 9th inning with the winning runs on base.

 

The Mets are in the 10 th inning against the Nats.

 

KC and the Jays are knotted at 6 in the 11 th inning.

 

Baltimore has come back to take an 8-7 lead against the tigers in the 9th inning.

[Thunder]

And there's Arizona and Houston. Astros are up 4-3, but I'm on Arizona's bandwagon. They're not that far out of the WC.
