Maeda pitched a gem last night! One strike away from an immaculate inning too.
*sigh*
at least he didn't go with the usual defense
the kicker
"2017 study showed that the effects of EPO administered to amateur cyclists was not distinguishable from a placebo.[32]"
still a shame though as I was hoping he would be a decent trade chip for the white sox.
Little league inside the parker by Ramon Torres in his first 2018 at-bat against the Rangers!
I'll never forget when he went deep for the first time, Happy Birthday Bart!!!
Another random dbacks suck stat for you guys/gals....
The Arizona Diamondbacks had a franchise low of only 10 hits in a 3 game series with the Brewers this past week.
The team as a whole right now is batting .213
They are on the cusp of being on the wrong side of records.

Wow totally out of left field. Did not expect this.
He started out red hot, but he has been slumping for all of May.
This seems to have more to do with money.
I'm worried about what this does to the team chemistry, I thought he has been a great teammate all year.

Such a weird move, you've already invested millions upon millions in money into the guy just let him try and hit his way out of it. It's not like you're going to recoup any of that value now whether the option vests or not.
At some point, freeing up the slot is worth a lot more than beating a dead horse. Sink dem costs. Also, no one is going to want to let an option vest when you're going to throw another 22.5 million down the drain.
DFAing Ramirez just cause of a classic Hanley cold spell instead of Nunez who looks like an average Little leaguer playing 2nd is a WTF move.
Dombrowski does dumb tings

this move was because 1) they dont want to let his 22m option vest for next year because they want to be rid of him 2) need a roster spot for pedroia 3) he's not hitting and doesn't play defense worth a damn, might as well just give those ABs to Mitch Moreland
We have JBJ, Swihart, Nunez, and Vasquez all doing just about nothing
Moreland isn't an everyday player.
Defensively at first, he is pretty serviceable.
The only one of these arguments that's unique to HanRam is the vesting option...there's several worthy candidates who haven't been hitting and aren't much better defensively
This is my concern. He was such a good clubhouse guy on what I consider to be a very likeable 2018 Red Sox team.
Goldie doing so bad(rip fantasy team), he's only $9 in daily fantasy leagues
Having watch him in BP that year several times, I knew he had the power. He just needed that perfect pitch to send it out.
We went crazy at work when he did it. Literally was the talk of the next 24 hours.
Wow I did a double take when I saw Hanley was DFA. Came out of nowhere for me' maybe I haven't been paying attention. I know they don't want him to vest but I think he was pretty popular in the clubhouse. Curious to see how this plays out.
He started off super hot, his recent numbers are what I would consider slumping.
A 34 year old who is in a steady decline is not worth another 22.5 million. Dude is way below average, and he's doing it at the least defensively valuable slot in the game. Even if he were mashing, I would still expect a DFA. You don't pay 22.5 million for a guy who is probably going to cost you an extra game a year, when putting in some random would probably make more economic sense.
Hanley has been sub-replacement level for 2 years. What year are y'all living in where Hanley is worth keeping around? Zero is higher than a negative.
hanley was below replacement level in 2015, 2017, and so far in 2018. he is a bad player and has no real value to a roster.
