    Doesn't look like Astros made any waiver claims?

    Well that's that...Astros had no chance anyways.

    The players likely just didn’t make it to them. The Guardians claimed Giolito and Lopez…wild

    I have a problem with 1 team being able to make 3 claims at once. How is that fair? Especially for a team like the Twins?

    I’m just glad Rangers didn’t get any pitching help.

    Damn, can you just pick as many players as you want when it’s your turn? I thought you get one player then have to wait your turn again.. crazy one team just grabbed all the pitchers…. Cool.

    So after a few years of something always coming up I finally made my pilgrimage to Cooperstown today , currently in Syracuse waiting to fly home.

    The HOF was amazing, and as current reigning Champs the Astros have a few extra nods they normally wouldn't have.

    However my entire experience was almost ruined by driving in New York state. I got turned around a million times trying to access a freeway, they have obscure turning lanes, and I got pulled over breaking their dinky ass speed limit.

    55 MPH on the open highway, what in the ever loving f**k is that. And a lot of hills, so you end up gaining speed frequently and having to practically live on the brakes. Luckily the cop let me off, cool dude, but still it pissed me off.

    Reds claimed Hunter Renfroe and Harrison Bader
    Guardians claim Matt Moore, Lucas Giolito, and Reynaldo Lopez
    Brewers claim Josh Donaldson

    Not mad at any of these. 2 NL teams and 1 AL Central team that is a long shot to make the playoffs.

    Exactly no one was really demanding that Kessinger be played more at the expense of better players.

    That would of , or would have, been a bit dumb.

    Which pitches are you talking about? I haven't been watching much.

    The GS Acuna hit was a BP fastball middle-up

    Acuña does this before September

    None of the bars are proportional length-wise. ..lol. Same way maps of the solar system aren't proportional size-distance wise.

    Rickey had a 24-80 and a 28-87 back to back, without the bigass bases. Also a 10-130
