7/30 vs Rays Devil

jung could write a book about how baseball sucks now. In fact, he already has, if you just cobble together his posts from this year.

 

I see you're still the thread critic. Does it pay much?

I just saw the complete mess out of the Pitt/Cincy game last night. Hey I got a way to resolve this whole mess of what MLB is becoming. Just call it MLW for Major League Wrestling.

 

What a freaking clown show. In the first place, why was Puig even on the field. He had been traded to the Guardians by then. Even if the ink was not dry on the paperwork yet since when does the player in trade play stay in the current game? What is Reds Hurler Garrett doing charging the entire Pirates bench when he is pulled off the mound by the Reds stand in Manager (since Bell was at that point already in the Clubhouse). That brings Bell out of his clubhouse to reengage and he goes directly after Clint Hurdle who has had two hip surgeries.

 

Not to excuse the Pirates, Hurdle's team has been throwing at players all year long and as I have stated before this current generation of MLB pitcher can't throw inside. They have no idea where its going. So, what a surprise, if a team of pitchers earns a reputation for throwing at players you should expect some fireworks.

 

Maybe worse than all of it, the two managers would not shake hands at the exchange of lineup cards for today's game. THAT IS RIDICULOUS. They are leaders of two teams of very large, very physical ballplayers. Grow up for God sake.

 

Bell should get a huge suspension. Talking heads say 10 games...I say 20. Get him the f*** off the field and out of the dugout. Let him stew for 20 games. Garrett should get 8-10. Puig should get 8-10. i did not see enough for any Pirate to get anything but one of them at least will have to get something just BECAUSE! Maybe Archer was barking from the bench....no idea.

 

And back to the lack of command by MLB pitchers, Pirates Agrazal has been throwing the ball all over the place...has hit two Reds missing his catcher's location by two feet both times today. Hurdle finally pulled him. But everything is just fine in MLB. Best players and best play in history.....Ah-huh.

 

Meanwhile Manfred is dreaming of midseason games in Europe. IDIOT

Yeah, I get paid the same as you do for all those one-liners, Henny.
