I was trying to think of a single emo band from St. Louis and came up blank...

Never heard of them. Get Up Kids were from KCMO but that's clear across the state and more importantly: Royals territory.

Was Jack McDowell's band somewhat in that vein? ("Alternative," says Wikipedia.) Maybe they can reunite.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 26 July 2023 16:33 (one year ago) link
okay, I found a (very) loose connection:
Scott Radinsky pitched 44 games for the Cards in 99-00.
He was the singer for Scared Straight* which could be considered proto-emo in the same manner as The Descendents might be.
*later known as 10 Foot Pole, and Scott also sang for Pulley.

I knew about the triple play last night; didn't know it was one (8-3-5) that hadn't been turned in almost 150 years.

That Giolito move is like, wow, they really want to make the playoffs and try to keep Ohtani? I can’t believe they got him but whatever

Something to do with the allure of blue, or the allure of green, one of the two.

What prompted that statement is Lance Lynn had the Dodgers as one of the teams that he had on his no trade list. They got him anyways.

Playing in the country's second largest market, a much friendlier one than the largest? That's got to be appealing.

Oh yeah Trayce Thompson went the other way, season really on a decline since he hit three bombs off the Diamondbacks the first week of the season. Plus I guess the Dodgers have Kiké now who is a better right handed outfielder with an equally marginal bat

Laugh now, but you wait for the one two punch of lynn to Kelly in the 9th and 10th inning of game 7 this year

That is an odd about-face. Maybe he's laying the groundwork for a career in politics.

In that scenario, it will be the first World Series ever lost via a wild pitch. Dodgers therefore win by setting new World Series records to the dismay of the rest of the baseball world
― hrep (H.P), Friday, 28 July 2023 21:31 (one year ago) link
Serious question: why would the Dodgers ever be on someone’s no-trade clause?
The Dodgers are gambling pennies hoping to make a dollar. It’s a respectable enough gambit

it's just a way of gaining leverage. lance lynn doesn't want to play for the royals, but the royals would never trade for him, so he doesn't have to worry about them. put all the good teams on your no-trade list and you can essentially control where you want to go

Personal Lance Lynn highlight of the year tbhhttps://i.postimg.cc/QMJsMfq7/IMG-6427.jpgYeah I’ve never heard of a ntc to just the dodgers before

xp (this is how stanton basically forced his way to the yankees, although he had a full no-trade clause)
― mookieproof, Friday, 28 July 2023 21:41 (one year ago) link
Dodgers pitching witchcraft is seriously unparalleled though. Brasier went from being a guy you’d see come into the end of a Red Sox game and go “punting” to being a solid pair of hands again. Fully expect them to work their same magic on Lynn, but also that it won’t matter that much.

Witchcraft has been off this year, though I I’m hoping we’ve just had it in cold storage for this home stretch
― hrep (H.P), Friday, 28 July 2023 21:44 (one year ago) link
Getting everything you want usually means you don’t win the World Series these days, right? Dodgers have 1 World Series win in the last 33+ years. The Yankees may never have another losing season but it feels like they are further than ever from the pennant. And the Padres thought they got the greatest trade deadline deal ever with Soto and Hader, but are now contemplating trading both as they can barely manage to be a .500 team.
― Michael F Gill, Friday, 28 July 2023 22:00 (one year ago) link
To be clear Lance Lynn had 10 clubs on his no trade list and the Dodgers were one of them.
Source MLBTR site before the updated trade.

It could have been five clubs but yeah it was more than just the Bums

Gausman is doing well, the one that got away. Zaidi worst move, as they didn't even offer a contract.

this week's Dodgers shopping spree:* MLB's 2 worst shortstops by RAA (Rosario and Hernández)* the 3rd- & 23rd-lowest qualifiers (out of 144) by wRC+ (EH and AR)* the qualifier with the highest ERA, ERA+, and HR/9 (Lynn)* a reliever with a 5.59 ERA in 2022-23 (Kelly)— Jay Jaffe (@jay_jaffe) July 28, 2023

Tbfffff Enriqué isn’t and should have never been a shortstop! They got him to play outfield and maybe a bit of 2B. Had to pinch hit for him yesterday though.

― Bee OK, Saturday, 29 July 2023 18:33 (one year ago) link
Mets are going to have to pay down those Verlander and Scherzer contracts to get anyone to take them. Verlander has been more consistent than Scherzer though Scherzer obviously spent time in LA before and crushed them like a couple of weeks ago? Supposedly Rangers also interested in Verlander.

Manoah just hit his second batter (Ward), he hit Ohtani in the foot earlier and Ward in the face, all covered in blood. Knocked his helmet right off. They’re taking him out. Not great. Everyone looks devastated.

― Bee OK, Saturday, 29 July 2023 21:46 (one year ago) link
I know Manoah's a villain these days, but there was absolutely no intent with Taylor Ward. Bases loaded, one out, no score, and he was down in the count 2-0. The pitch was, according to mlb.com, a 91.7 mph sinker. That's just a reflection of Manoah's complete lack of command this year.
― clemenza, Saturday, 29 July 2023 21:50 (one year ago) link
Yeah there was no intent, that’s not what I mean. He was pitching pretty wild since he came back in the two starts I’ve seen of his. But he looked devastated on the mound and again I think it was irresponsible to bring him back so soon.
― a love song for connor wong (gyac), Saturday, 29 July 2023 21:54 (one year ago) link
You can argue about that, sure. He's been battling control every step of the way, although, weirdly enough, he mostly looked good today.
