how many times will Hauler @Hauler headbutt a brick wall if a team trades for Iglesias & puts him in the starting rotation? Iglesias has 3 pitches that've all received the highest possible grade from scouts

I'm fine if they move Harvey. That was likely the plan all along.

I will be pissed if they move Iglesias. They are getting close to having all the parts to a solid club. You don't get rid of stud 28 year old pitchers in that scenario.

it'd have to be a haul if what I read about his contract is right, if they don't get it they need to move him to the starting lineup. they're 5th in the NL in runs. They should've put up a lot more last night, somehow the White Sox caught 9 of the 12 barrels Shields gave up. What is a Barrel? | Glossary

not that I stacked the Reds & am bitter about it or anything

He's got the stuff to be a starter. I'm not big on closers anyway, but that's another conversation. They have him signed through 2020. Like $5 mil a year.

Harvey was a 1 year gamble. If he keeps pitching well, they might be able to turn him into some prospects. They weren't going to get much for Mez given his injury history so I'm fine having that plan play out.

DeSclafani on the bump tonight. Might want to stack the White Sox. He doesn't typically do too well in GABP.

I don't know too much about contracts, except for bad Red Sox b/c I find them funny, but he has to be one of the best values in baseball.

Harvey has increased his velocity the most of any pitcher in the league this year since coming to the Reds, they might get something good

not playing too much tonight so I haven't gotten into how well they hit pitches similar to Disco's, but not taking any White Sox. here's some of the stuff I look at, Disco isn't looking like the best target tonight

Too bad you are about to start a 3 game series with the hottest team in baseball.

Fear The Scooter
Sox pulled off a 12th inning win tonight. Thought they'd get swept, but they fought hard.

Their 3 and 4 hitters combined for 4 HRs last night.

Kyle Higashioka has a terrible batting average this year and only has 3 hits.


All 3 have been homeruns.

Those are the first hits of his career.

I loved all of those themed posters from the 80s. I had an Eric Davis one. It said 44 Magnum and had baseballs loaded in a huge revolver.
nice. One year in college I went to goodwill looking for something to wear to a halloween party, I found this tshirt




Wore it to the gym a month later & every milf came up to tell me they loved the shirt. Robbie Hart @Robbie Hart would've cried tears of jealousy. Started wearing it to non-college bars & it was the best $2 I ever spent
