2014 MLB Discussion Thread

Beckett just threw a no-hitter.

 

Bet Dodgers fans are just loving watching this Beckett no-hitter. Wait. Seventy percent of people in LA can't see the Dodgers? Oh. -- Jeff Passan

The Cubs...they got one more year to fulfill the Back to the Future prediction.

Was it already known that Manny Machado was a b**** ass punk? Or is this a new development?

 

Right? I had no idea.

I'd suspend him 2 weeks, minimum.

 

Yeah, he needs to go away for a little while and come back with his big boy playing pants on.

The veterans around the league aren't going to put up with his attitude.

 

He only gets a 5 game suspension?

I bet he gets beamed his first game back.

That A's trade...wow

 

I love that trade for the Cubs.

I'm really excited for the future of this team. I think Castro might get moved now with Russell coming in.

 

Solid trade for both teams. Surprised the A's pulled the trigger - Hammel a FA next year, Jeff the year after - but their rotation is primed for a postseason run.

Seriously??

 

Yeah, everyone's talking about how Billy Beane is getting real tired of hearing about how he can't win in the playoffs so he went off and got Lester, who makes that rotation rather imposing.
