the indians have traded anthony recker to the braves for cash considerations

Harper hasn't had an 'official' at bat in his last 11

The only Selig threads are on ILX.

Hey Bill: When everything is taken into account, how do you see Bud Selig's legacy as commissioner?

I think he's the greatest commissioner any league has ever had.

Ouch.

wow bryce was tossed arguing a called third strike from the dugout and a nat just hit a walkoff rt after

which i think a fan reached out to grab lol

this was an entertaining game, that the espn booth just talked abt venezuela all throughout (which was actually fine + interesting tbh)

boof bonser will be inducted into the hagerstown suns hall of fame on saturday

Bonser, who will be joined by his family, said that he is “very pleased” with how the bobble head has turned out and is “excited to be back in Hagerstown”.

brendan ryan to the angels for (no-doubt miniscule) cash considerations

michael bourn to the diamondbacks on a minor-league deal (and assigned to double-a mobile, yikes)

@dschoenfield
We're through 12 innings in Houston and Terry Francona has already burned through all EIGHT of his relievers....

"We still see him as a reliever going forward." -- Diamondbacks front office

so happy for him. dude deserves it all and much more.

96 strikes, that's fucking nuts

Good thinking by Ausmus to leave Castellanos on the bench and have McCann (.108/.175/.108) hit with the tying run on base.

sort of creeped out by that pair of disembodied legs i thought was a pause sign at first

i wonder how much him being with the tigers until 2014 had to with it

@BNightengale
And to think the #Dbacks actually traded away Max Scherzer to #tigers, convinced that he would break down. Oops

Only three "Whoa!!!!"s from William Ladson this evening. He must be feeling under the weather.

@pedromoura
Max Scherzer had more strikeouts tonight than Jered Weaver has in 2016.

just a bunch of outs

from the comments section on fangraphs:

Brad Ausmus has been involved in three of the five 20K games. He struck out twice against Kerry Wood in 1998, he struck out once (and got a hit) against Roger Clemens in 1996, and now he managed the Tigers against Max Scherzer.

thor wants some attention, decides to hit two homers against kenta maeda

No walks in all four 20-K games.

didn't realise that last year's no-hitter vs the mets was the game with the most strikeouts for two teams in a 9 innings game: 35.

that "k" pic looks like someone was leaning on the keyboard.

Giants, Angels and White Sox most interested in Freak

the rangers have called up 2004 first overall draft pick and intermittent jailbird matt bush to make his major league debut

Reyes will not appeal. The suspension is retroactive to Feb. 23, when Reyes was first put on paid leave by the league. Through Thursday, he had missed 34 games.
