Like a Saturday night of bar hopping.

Well written article (it probably applies a little to Escobar too)

Might want to tune in to Braves/Marlins.

Bottom of the ninth.

Morse will ruin the NO HITTER

ZIM4MVP · « **Reply #356:** May 17, 2015, 03:20:49 PM »

I sure hope I don't jinx it. 2 outs away from a NO HITTER

Morse got removed from the game innings ago.

swore I heard the announcer (either FS1 or MLBN) say he was coming up. haven't been watching the game, just following the MLBN look-ins. must have been saying his spot was coming up

Bour the guy who replaced Morse singled up the middle with two outs to break it up.

Bour For Your Money

That Heyward trade is looking terrible for St. Louis.

And Redmond fired after the game.

I hope they hire Bobby Valentine

Guessing Jeff Conine, or Pete Rose.

My impression is Mike Redmond was doing an OK job. WE might want to call him and ask about his bullpen management philosophy before the NLDS.

Dan Jennings goes from GM to manager of the Marlins.

That seems like a clean up your own mess or you're next situation

Interesting little maneuver the Red Sox did with Allan Craig. They waived him off the 40 man roster. Because he has less than 5 years service time, he cannot refuse assignment to AAA. His salary does not count against the luxury tax threshold for that portion of the championship season that he spends in the minors. Another sort of the lux tax books salary maneuver.

Paying a guy millions of dollars to play minor league ball is now smart?
