Can Field Goal teeth also go on the IL?

The Reds beat the Cubs 20-5 today.  Andrelton Simmons pitched the 9th for the Cubs and gave up 5 runs.

The Reds now have a more respectable losing record of 14-30. They're only one game worse than the second worst team, the Nationals.

From the article:

"According to multiple sources, the beef stems from a disagreement the two had in a fantasy football league including players from several teams."

Fantasy football is serious business.

[Blarg]

That deserves a Smith/Rock meme.

They'll always have those 11 starts of 1.99 ball to show for their 54 million.  

This one ends up being like Quintana, Allen, Harvey, and Cozart all rolled into one bad signing.

I still refuse to believe this is real.  Thought Joc was just giving a story similar to McNeil/Lindor last year but apparently Pham is running with it too.

So Mookie Betts is back to being better than Trout. Over his last 14 games he's hitting .407/.492/.981 with 8 HR. Over his last seven, he's hitting .500/.594/1.192 with 5 HR.

Kind of hope he gets stabbed again honestly

[Blarg]

Pham just opened his mouth and out came a cause for investigation over his gambling. He is a pretty stupid guy putting himself on MLBs radar.

He’s got punishment enough being stuck playing for the Reds.

@stormngt, you'll love their blurb on the Angels "Under the Radar Dominant Pitcher":

Angels: Jaime Barría
Key stat: 0.857 WHIP
The Angels have been so desperate for starters that they’ve tried putting Barria out there 55 times over the last five years, but it looks like the ‘pen is the right place for him. His stuff has never looked better, and he’s averaging three innings per relief appearance.

How do the Dodgers end up with such a stacked roster every year??

 

Oh yeah, they have loads of money and are willing to spend it. They also have a great farm system.
