not that he had much value to begin with but borjuice is not helping his stock this weekend

Dumbest team in baseball strikes again.

Time to hire a base running consultant.

for the life of me i dont know why hes playing over goedell....if they could get something for him id understand but the dude is a quad A player

[ice grillin you]

when he was on farging fire I got it but the thing was he never should have been starting over him to begin with to let him get hot....I've been pushing commish at bats since April...it's infuriating what they are doing with him

I went from asche to classy

[ice grillin you]

why the farg is Mack leaving him in

scott kingery promoted and leading off for reading tonight

Somewhere a rumor of VV to Texas for Joey Gallo got started. As much as the Phils need a young power bat I'd pass on that unless there's more involved.

[MDS]

saw the jon morossi tweet about it....didnt see gallo's name

i would do it for a profar package. gallo has insane power but will be late era adam dunn is if hes lucky

[Don Ho]

Ok, I see that Pete wants to win and all that rah rah shtein but come on.  Let Hellickson throw a few more.  70 pitches through 6. Shocking the cold as ice duo of Asche and Bourjos can't do shtein with men on 2nd and 3rd so call Hellickson back and send Choke up and of course he K's.  Stupid.

[SD]

It was the right call, the problem is Blanco's hurt so he had to send the K king up to the plate.

Either way another solid outing by Hellickson, his trade value will never be higher. I hope they can package him with a player like Bourjos and get something worth a damn.

I guess the Marlins didn't read the TJ interview when he said he tries to hit every pitch...after five straight balls thrown almost anyone else doesn't swing until a strike is thrown...next pitch is grooved and TJ jumps all over it

[MDS]

better to end on a high note with helly....scouts have seen plenty. now youve got a 4 day rush to bid.

i read that they had jake t throw after the game was called today to keep on his schedule, so he should start this weekend with the big club

[Don Ho]

better to end on a high note with helly....scouts have seen plenty. now youve got a 4 day rush to bid.

Yeah definitely a high note but I was hoping he'd throw a complete game shutout against one of the hottest teams in baseball and really raise his trade value.

I hope that Red Sox rumor has some validity as their farm system is loaded right now.
