Make it five TJs on the 40-man roster since April - Kudrna, Bergert, Ragans, now these two. I don't know if the sixth one is free but it ought to at least come with a free frogurt
All the activity at the deadline today was too out of character for the Rockies, they needed to get back into doing some classically weird shit, and this qualifies
Victor Vodnik couldn't miss a bat if his life depended on it, but I will say that he had an extremely cool name. (Not sure what the Rockies see in Norby, he hasn't hit a lick)
@Ken_Rosenthal tweeted Source confirms: Marlins acquiring Victor Vodnik from Rockies for Connor Norby and Aiden May. First: @JeffPassan
I'm glad that Senza had some measure of success this season, and was able to redeem those years that were a total waste due to both injury and Bud Black telling him to spam fastballs to the same location every at-bat. If there is a long third act for him I'm glad we got to see a bit of it in purple.
Mike Elias should wear a ski mask. Both because he's stealing money and because Orioles fans should beat him with hammers if they see him in public
Adley Rutschman deal to Boston is done
Five years since the Royals got the Dodgers to take Danny Duffy on an injury flier at the deadline, they've done it again with Kris Bubic. Duffy never pitched for the Dodgers, or anyone else, ever again, so hopefully for Bubic's sake there's a better outcome here!
Doyle is an organizational development success story and probably the best defensive CF I’ve ever seen in purple. Wish him well. It is Cole Carrigg SZN now
@Ken_Rosenthal tweeted White Sox acquiring CF Brenton Doyle from the Rockies, sources tell me and @WillSammon
A complete game with 115 pitches that wasn’t a no-hitter or a shutout is such ethical hoops, love that Freeland went for it and that Schaeff let him. Restoring the feeling
Kyle Freeland looks like Chris Sale against this Omaha Storm Chasers lineup today
Gary Gill Hill is at number seven on the Billboard country charts right now with his hit single, “Whiskey Denim Beach”
@Ken_Rosenthal tweeted Source confirms return: Aidan Smith, Emilie Pitre and Gary Gill Hill. First on those names: @Feinsand 💬 @WillSammon The Rays are acquiring starting pitcher Freddy Peralta in a trade with the New York Mets, league sources tell The Athletic.
League’s owners colluded to stand down on Skubal so that when he went to the Dodgers for a prospect package other contenders could have met/exceeded fan sentiment would swing further towards ‘waaaah we need a salary camp bloo bloo bloo’
This Mar-A-Lago face-ass’s intolerance: good, virtuous Intolerance of her intolerance: mean, unfair Duly noted!
Speaking for the first time since ralliers began assembling in support of her stance against transgender participation in women’s sports, Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham said this was an opportunity for the WNBA to uphold its values of diversity and inclusion. nyti.ms/4fHr4Qn
The Rockies have never had a cool entrance for a bad-ass closer. They still haven’t, but the effort is there and I can appreciate that
When you're about to lose a five-run lead
Just had immaculate empanadas in Meriden, Kansas, beauty and wonder are everywhere you look if you look hard enough
Strip out the rain delay and I gotta think that’s one of the fastest games in Coors Field history, first pitch to final out
One thing that Kansans get absolutely right is that these are the best taco shells in the world.
