Without those guys being that effective, they are the Orioles right now: great offense without a lick of pitching.


Non-pitcher wRC+ leaderboard since 1900:



The Orioles sit at 92 this season (24th in majors). Very comparable.

Not enough pitching.


Astros allowed the fewest runs in the AL last year...

The maturation of LMJ is also a huge factor. If he can learn to settle down earlier in games his potential is very high.


McCullers is 21st in the MLB in ERA and 24th in FIP for pitchers with at least 120 innings. I'd say he's already delivered on his potential. If he gets much better he will be elite.

What other Ys titles have you played? I've found Oath in Felghana to be one of the most difficult.


So far I've played (in order): Memories of Celceta, Ys I & II Chronicles, Ys Origin, and Oath in Felghana. Currently playing Ys 5. I'd say Oath in Felghana was the second hardest to Origin, although I did use KB/M for Origin. Also, the boss fight difficulty in Origin can vary a decent amount depending on which character you are playing.

Almost beat Ys 3, and about to start Celceta on Vita.


Coincidentally, I just finished Oath in Felghana and Danganronpa: Another Episode this week. Currently playing FF4 on Vita and Ys 5 (english fan translation) on PC with a SNES emulator.

I know the options are a year, but he had one last year and one this year. Doesn't that leave one year left ?


Yes, he has one option year remaining. The fact he was optioned this week is irrelevant since he was optioned to start the season.
If you hate the trade, blame Marisnick for being incapable of hitting his way out of a wet paper bag.
Ken Rosenthal ?@Ken_Rosenthal now

To #Brewers: Brett Phillips, Domingo Santana, Josh Hader, Adrian Houser.
Hoping for Singleton + Pu Pu Platter, but I'm not holding my breath.
Jon Heyman ?@JonHeymanCBS now7 seconds ago Manhattan, NY

carlos gomez and mike fiers go to houston
I've watched Tucker play 1st in the minors and he looked like a retard. If Luhnow is talking about possibly bringing up Tyler White to play first it means Preston Tucker can't play 1st worth a frick. It's not that hard to figure out, unless you're dumb.
Upton's line since June 1st:

175/281/263 .544 OPS 28% K rate

He'll fit right in.

Can someone clarify if the Rockets can match?


Rockets can match as they have the full MLE available.

Does that give us new options?


no

Grade 3 calf strain for Cabrera, according to Brad Ausmus. Expected to miss 6 weeks.


Doubt the Tigers are climbing back into the race without Cabrera.

Correa has admitted hacking into a Houston Astros database but said it was only to verify whether the Astros had stolen proprietary data, according to a source with knowledge of the investigation.

Look...my vitriol is admittedly completely selfish....I wanted Mickey back to compliment Ben, Antonio and Brandon.


I'm pretty sure the fans will compliment these players enough without Mickey coming back to also compliment them.

Do you even Bobby Covington bro?


As a Rockets fan I've watched way too much of him in the D-League and summer league. Dude's got toothpicks for legs.
