Please sweep the Royals
 
signed, Tigers fans

 
Why?  I hope the Royals and Indians end up tied so I can watch a team play two different one game playoffs.

Brad Ausmus can't manage: 9/22/14 edition
 
- Starts a double A pitcher instead of David Price who is on normal rest.
- Lets Zeke Carerra play center in a game that actually matters.
- Hits and runs in the 1st inning with the heart of his lineup coming up.

 
He's in the catbird seat, he doesn't have to keep pressing.  Up two with seven to go is an enviable position.  Lobstein has been very good and Price has been trying to find his way.  No reason to take Price out of routine and distort him even more.  He's still totally shitty though, so hitting and running in the 1st, I don't know, I have nothing nice to say about that.

Yeah Lobstein is pretty damn good actually. 
Lack of offense is pissing me off in this one though. 

 

[Teagz]

I forgot Lobstein was the good spot starter. Got him mixed up with the other Kyle who throws left handed.
 
 
Also, there is zero reason Andy Romine and Zeke Carrera should hit in the late innings. You have an entire bench full of pinch hitters who you called up specifically for these situations.

 

[RipCity32]

Wooo offense!

 

[Teagz]

You could tell it was gonna be one of those nights after the 1st inning.

I'm watching the KC/Cleveland game on MLBN and these KC announcers are horrid.

The San Diego Padres don't have the biggest of names on their roster this season, but they did draft one of the biggest stars in sports back in June.
After taking him in the 28th round of the 2014 MLB draft, the Padres are apparently selling Johnny Manziel baseball jerseys at their team store for $81.75.
The price tag seems pretty steep for a jersey of a player who's on the Cleveland Browns, but we wouldn't be surprised if someone has actually bought one of these.

 
You getting one, Dan? lol

 

[Thomas-Panda-Saxby]

Shit, I would

I'm thinkin' that's not gonna happen..

 

[snipezo]

Delaying the surgery does seem kind of short sighted, that I don't really get behind. 
 
Unrelated though, I think it's a travesty that the Mets told Matt Harvey to slow down his rehabilitation a while ago. 

Taking babying to the next level. What a joke.

Cy Kluber

yupppppp

 

[elcheato]

yupppppp

I doubt he gets it over Felix, but he probably should based on ballpark and defensive differences. 

 

[footballplaya52]

Damn, pirates playing like champions. Turned it on since the all-star break.

 

[elcheato]

Can we just skip to next year? I want a full season of Carrasco and more seasoned Bauer & Salazar. 
 

 
Carrasco is throwing that at 90 MPH, after throwing his 95-97 MPH 4 seamers 

 

[snipezo]

I doubt he gets it over Felix, but he probably should based on ballpark and defensive differences. 

he deserves it imo.

 

[footballplaya52]

Felix was throwing completely shut down ball for a long stretch
