    Holy f--- this absolutely shocked me, have any of you ever heard of something like this before? An all star player last year, was supposed to be one of the twins top young hitters for many years in the future, a ton of power ability with a lot more potential. But he's struggled a ton most of this season especially lately, and there's been questions about his work ethic and weight.

    But d---, I certainly still didn't this coming..Send him all the way to A instead of just AAA? They gotta be trying to send a message, honestly I would've been surprised if they even sent him to AAA, but sending him straight to A? Unbelievable..

    Yankees got lucky on that tag out at home. Rays putting the pressure on.

    How was dropping a ball, giving up a run, then throwing out a player by a few feet luck? :'(

    Well wtf my typical s-----y luck. I picked this guy up when he was on DL because I had a few dl spots to use up on my fantasy team and read and thought this guy had potential when he returned healthy soon. Wtf thought I read they were going to put him back in the lineup like a week ago. I guess I should drop him off my roster then in this case.

    I doubt he will be in the minors too long but still it’s not a good sign. Not sure what id recommend you do honestly, depends what your other options are.

    Even if Sano is getting HRs he still strikes out a ton, so definitely a risk from a fantasy perspective.

    I have another guy I can ditch first and if Ohtani ends up needing the surgery I can drop him too. I just hate to drop the guy then they bring back up and he starts hitting homers. He was just a guy I was going to throw in for a utility player some, if he came around. My pitching staff in fantasy is what’s hurting me the most so far this year.

    d---, twins somehow beat Boston 1st 2 games of the series. I was thinking they’d only get 1 W in the series, if that. I had to miss the games but looks like they had great pitching, and some key hits.

    I will be able to watch tomorrow though, going for the sweep. Then they got some winnable games after that against Texas and the White Sox, so hopefully this can get a hot streak going.

    Unfortunately they’re missing their 2 best hitters now that they nailed Escobar in the elbow and Rosario was already out with a sore shoulder.

    Still got a shot though, Gibson getting out of that inning only giving up 2 was huge, could’ve been a lot worse.

    d--- I didnt know that Escobar was hurt. Yeah I got off work and saw a live game was on the mlb network. Half fell asleep there for a few innings. I enjoy watching other games since the pirates pretty much s---. Well I don’t want to say s--- just lacking in overall experience and need a big name or 2 on their team. I guess they’re going after a few guys before the trade deadline.

    Of course Boston beamed Escobar.

    Twins definitely seem to think it was on purpose..




    Take out their likely all star, when their other all star was already out of the game with an injury..ugh. Hopefully Escobar can still play in the all star game, he was having a h--- of a season. He leads the league in doubles and extra base hits and is 10th in RBIs.

    Yeah they showed the beam later in the game and it looked intentional imo. It looked like he threw it straight at that area. Wasn’t a curve ball gone wrong or anything like that. Boston is known to beam their opponents best hitters. Weird early in the game they did it just to get him out of the rest of the game it seems.

    Thought I’d sit back, pop a Valium and enjoy this evening watching the pirates game. Until they’re losing 8-0 3rd f---ing inning. What in the f--- I’m getting so f---ing tired of these lame a--- pitching prospects that get hyped up every year. f---ing embarrassing. Fire the coaching staff. We need new management and a new owner that actually wants to spend some money for at least one good pitcher. This is inexcusable.

    The pirates need adderall and steroids. Just like a-rods prime days.

    But h--- at this point the pirates mise well pop Valium and zans and drink alcohol before the games instead. They already look like zombies playing. I don’t think roids or addys would even help this s-----y team. So f---ing angry. And I’ve spent hundreds on this f---ing team so far this year going to games buying some of their s--- to support them and I’m not rich to begin with. Don’t even wanna go any further or another tv is going to be broken.

    So f---ing angry and everything going downhill recently. Can’t do it anymore

    MLB network played the Boston Redsox vs Angels instead of the Yankees game vs philly. Would rather watch Yankees vs Philly wtf you doing mlb network.

    Oh well now that I’m watching it, I’m going to root for the angels I guess. f--- you rick porcello. He played s-----y last year in fantasy for me and now this year he’s going off again whenever I don’t have him.

    Nothing on tv and espn has Boston on playing again. Why does espn have such a hard on for the Redsox? They beam players more than any other team in the league purposely trying to hurt them. Come on LAA. I’m getting f---ing pissed this mlb season.

    I’m watching mainly for the Angels, more so Trout. Think he’s got a chance to be the GOAT and is usually fun to watch play. Course they just walked him now as I type this. Other than my team the Twins I probably watch more Angels games than any other MLB team.

    With that said the team has been kinda boring at times lately lol. I was at the game earlier this year when Pujols got hit # 3,000.
