I think eight days off is tough to be sharp. We saw first inning uncharacteristic of him not consistent with where he wanted to go. I think the rust got knocked off but threw extremely well, to be honest with you. Just high pitch count, eight days off and got up to 100. The most hes been at.

Sorry! There was an error proce sing your subscription. Considering that the ball is likely worth hundreds of thousands of dollars at an auction, it's pretty nuts he gave the ball right back. As a young kid, that sounds like a nice pile of cash to sit on.Anyway, let's dive into Wednesday's picks on the diamond. Latest Odds: Houston Astros -130 Key Trend: The Astros are Joe Mauer Jersey 10-1 in their last 11 road gamesThe Pick: Astros (-125)The Astros are absolutely on fire, with nine wins over their last 10 games. That includes winning their last two games against the Rays by a combined score of 9-0. It's why I have no hesitation in siding with the road favorite in this spot.After mi sing the first four months of the season, Astros starter Jr. has been sensational since returning. In six starts, the veteran right-hander has accumulated a 3-1 record along with a 2.31 ERA and 37 strikeouts. In addition, McCullers has yielded two or fewer runs in five of those starts while not appearing in the lo s column since Aug. 19. On the other hand, Rays starter continues to struggle. He's surrendered 10 Kent Hrbek Jersey earned runs acro s his last two starts, including allowing six earned runs on eight hits in just 2/3 of an inning against the Yankees on Sept. 10. Now, Kluber has been slightly better at home on the year, but still po se ses a 3.92 ERA at Tropicana Field. If the Astros can get a hold of a few pitches, there's no doubt that Kluber could get hammered in this one. Latest Odds: Cleveland Guardians +115 The Pick: Guardians (+115):-- It's fair to say the White Sox have burned many bettors this season. They can't be trusted. With that in mind, I'm more than happy to back their division rivals on the road here.Guardians starter has been terrific since the All-Star Break, registering a 2.09 ERA dating back to July 23. He has allowed two runs or le s in seven of his 11 starts during that span Tony Oliva Jersey . The Guardians have also earned a pair of wins over the White Sox during that stretch in games that McKenzie has started. In those two contests, McKenzie has allowed just three earned runs on 10 hits while striking out 18 hitters in 12 2/3 innings. White Sox right-hander has been throwing the ball well as of late, including holding the Guardians to just two earned runs on Sept. 15. He even held the Guardians to just three runs over his last two starts against them. However, the veteran arm did give up 11 hits during those two contests. On top of that, in a start back on July 11, Minnesota Twins Hoodie Lynn was pounded by the Guardians to the tune of eight earned runs on nine hits in just four innings in a 9-4 lo s.Based on how well McKenzie is pitching over the second half, I trust him way more to keep this one close and his offense to do the rest.Key Trend: The Guardians are 13-3 in their last 16 games The Pick: Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-127):-- Dustin May, 25, only has six starts under his belt throughout the 2022 season. It's not a huge sample size, but I'm very comfortable fading his strikeout prop this time around. May returned to the mound on Aug Zach Duke Jersey . 20 after surgery on his arm and certainly hasn't pitched badly since. However, in those six starts, he's only registered at least six strikeouts in one of those outings. He tallied nine strikeouts acro s seven innings in his first start back against the last month. However, he's racked up five punch-outs or le s in each start since that point. In addition, the Diamondbacks may not be the most dangerous offense around, but they're fairly disciplined at the plate. Arizona ranks just 20th in the majors in strikeouts on the years. Side with under as I expect May to keep the trend going on Wednesday.Key Trend: May has registered five or fewer strikeouts in in each of his last four games

The they have agreed to terms with right-handed starter on a new contract. Morton will make $20 million next season with the Braves and has a $20 million option for the 2024 campaign. Said option will not include any buyout figure.It Jose Fernandez Jersey 's worth noting Morton's new deal is identical to the one he signed last September with the Braves, right down to the dollar amount and the lack of a buyout on a club option. This Miami Marlins Custom Jersey contract, then, almost serves as a copy-and-paste job that extends the Braves' control over Morton for an additional season. ATL SP #50 BA0R0HR0RBI0SB0 Morton, who will celebrate his 39th birthday in November, has Miami Marlins Hats posted a 4.29 ERA (96 ERA+) and a 3.23 strikeout-to-walk ratio this season acro s 30 starts. He's had a rough go as of late, surrendering at least four runs in three of his five September outings. The Braves, neverthele s, seem to believe he's still a high-quality starter.With Morton in tow, the Braves can count on fielding a rotation next season that includes him, left-hander , star rookie and breakout righty . Others, such as and injured former ace Martin Prado Jersey , could work themselves into the equation as well. And that's without accounting for the po sibility that the Braves dip their toes Andre Dawson Jersey into the free-agent or trade markets. Morton, by the way, is scheduled to make his final start of the regular season on Sunday against the New York Mets. The Braves are coming into their three-game set against the Mets facing a one-game deficit in the National League East. The division winner Giancarlo Stanton Jersey will finish with the second-best record in the NL, thereby earning a first-round bye. There's a lot riding on Morton's start, in other words.

What a week. We just went through , as far as Major League Baseball news goes. Unfortunately, it wasn't exactly good news for the league, though I do commend the work commi sioner Rob Manfred is doing thus far in an attempt to prevent things from continuing down this path as we head to the 2020s.Even more unfortunately, . No matter the scandal, Pete always comes around and starts telling everyone how what he did wasn't nearly as bad and how he was so unfairly punished by Major League Baseball.It's a total load of garbage, too.Here's :"I bet on my own team to win," Rose said. "That's what I did Matt Kemp Jersey in a nutshell. I was wrong, but I didn't taint the game. I didn't try to steal any games. I never voted against my team. I bet on my team every night because that's the confidence that I had in my players. And I was wrong. As Pete likes to do, this is selective and revisionist. All evidence points to Rose gambling on the while both as a player and manager, but not every single game. The Dowd Report found that Rose bet on 52 Reds games in 1987.There's a credibility factor with Rose, too. Let us recall ...Rose denied the allegations that he bet on baseball Sandy Koufax Jersey for years, starting with the investigation in 1989.In 2002, Rose admitted to then-commi sioner Bud Selig that he did bet on baseball while managing the Reds, which also was an admi sion he had been lying for well over a decade. He also maintained he never bet while playing, only as a manager.In 2015, we find out Rose did bet as a player.Every time there's a scandal in baseball, we have to deal with Rose's situation. The selective morality is astounding to me. Major Kenta Maeda Jersey League Baseball would have ceased to exist if the rampant gambling and game-fixing weren't shut down in the aftermath of the Black Sox scandal. This rule was put into place:Rule 21 MISCONDUCT, (d) BETTING ON BALL GAMES, Any player, umpire, or club or league official or employee, who shall bet any sum whatsoever upon any baseball game in connection with which the bettor has a duty to perform shall be declared permanently ineligible. It's right there, people. The rule was in place when Rose was a baseball player and it didn't go away once he was only a manager. It was always there. There were signs in every clubhouse. He knew the penalty, if caught, was being permanently ineligible and he did it anyway. He made his bed. There is no permanent ban in place for sign stealing. There is a permanent ban in place now for a third failed PED test. There aren't retroactive penalties for either of these i sues.There is, however, an explicit rule that was in place throughout Rose's career and he didn't care. He broke it anyway. Let us also recall that Rose accepted the permanent ban in return for agreeing to make no formal findings.Rose claims he didn't taint the game, and that's dead wrong. He did. He bet on baseball games in which he was directly involved. That taints the game.As to his claim that he only bet on his team, well, that hasn't been proven. John Dowd stated in 2002 that while he Corey Seager Jersey didn't have evidence, he believed that Rose actually did bet against the Reds on occasion. Regardle s of whether he did or didn't, there is evidence that Rose did not Joc Pederson Jersey -- as he falsely claimed above -- bet on the Reds every single game. Given that he was manager in 1987 and didn't bet on the Reds every game, he totally tainted the game. There is evidence that Rose bet on 52 games in 1987. That's roughly one-third of the games.Let's say that's how many times he bet on the Reds. That means that two out of every three games he didn't. So in the one game he did bet on the Reds, it seems pretty easy to see that he'd use his best relievers and manage harder to win the games when he had money on the line. His team trails early when he didn't bet on his team? Why not remove some of the starting position players to rest them and use the bottom-feeding relievers and prepare the team to win the next time he bet on them to win, right?As for the people who crow about how the Hall of Fame isn't complete without him, there's an exhibit for Rose breaking the career hits record. He just hasn't been individually honored with a bust and that's because he chose to stain the game by breaking Rule 21 on multiple occasions. And he lied about it for decades. Then when he came "clean," he lied about not doing it as a player. (Not to mention, Mr. Squeaky Clean has ).I know there's a segment of the baseball community that will always wear Rose-colored gla ses when it comes to his case for the Hall, Hyun-Jin Ryu Jersey but it's totally misguided. Get a new hero. This guy made his bed decades ago and keeps making it.

There is likely no player more synymous with the Dodgers at this point than Clayton Kershaw.He's a future Hall of Famer, who has won three Cy Youngs and an MVP and has been named to eight All-Star teams. He has been on the Dodgers longer than anyone currently on the team, and has been an integral part of turning the team into an annual World Series favorite.But as the Dodgers prepare to navigate a potentially tumultuous offseason with several key players hitting free agency, they opted Chris Taylor Jersey against a qualifying offer to Kershaw as the 33-year-old prepares to hit free agency. The qualifying offer is a one-year,$18.5 million contract the figure is based on the average of the top 125 highest single-year salaries that enable a team to receive compensation if the player turns down the contract and signs with another team.MORE:With Kershaw now hitting free agency without that guaranteed contract offer to return, the future of his potential return to Los Angeles becomes a bit murky. So what's next for the star left-hander? All we can do is speculate as to the Dodgers' real motives, but on face value this isn't an inherently strange decision.Kershaw posted the highest single-season ERA he's had since his rookie season of 2008 (3.55) and tied his single-lowest Fangraphs WAR for a full season not counting the COVID-shortened 2020 season since his first Mike Piazza Jersey campaign as well (3.4).He also finished the season with only 121.2 innings of work on the mound, also a non-2020 low since 2008 as he battled injuries. He had forearm inflammation in July that placed him on the injured list coming off a start on July 3. He wouldn't pitch again until Sept. 13. that he described as being "kind of the same thing I've been dealing with."An MRI did not show any damage to his UCL, and he received a platelet-rich plasma injection, , that he said would help him avoid surgery.MORE:Though avoiding surgery Mark Lowe Jersey is a major boon for Kershaw, it does not nece sarily mean he's out of the woods. Shohei Ohtani had a sprain to his UCL in 2018 and received PRP before ultimately needing to undergo Tommy John surgery. Similarly, Justin Verlander attempted to hold off on Tommy John surgery by using PRP before ultimately needing the procedure.This isn't to say that Kershaw could need Tommy John surgery, but it is also far from a guarantee that he's cleared. And at 33 years old, there's no telling how much longer his arm willhold up.Now combine the injury risk with a long list of players who needed qualifying offers or could be po sible targets to re-sign. The Dodgers offered qualifying offers to shortstop Corey Seager and utility bat Chris Taylor. Max Scherzer was ineligible to receive the offer as he was acquired at the trade deadline.The Dodgers already have one of the largest payrolls in baseball and will all but certainly make attempts to re-sign Scherzer, Andre Ethier Jersey closer Kenley Jansen and Taylor the presence of Trea Turner makes resigning Seager le s of a priority.Would the Dodgers be willing to risk Kershaw accepting the qualifying offer and adding $18.5 million to their payroll, only to have him potentially mi s a good chunk of the season should another injury pop up? Apparentlynot. Kershaw is now a free agent. And though he might feel like a Dodger lifer as iconic as Sandy Koufax, there is now a real po sibility that he goes to play somewhere else.One team that potentially makes sense for him would be the Rangers. Kershaw is a Dallasnative and the Rangers have the most luxury tax space for 2022, . And , he could be an early target as the team looks to drastically improve its roster.Even with the injury risk, there are certainly going to be plenty of teams interested in pursuing the services of Kershaw. He's an experienced pitcher who, when on the mound, remains one of the most consistent in the sport.MORE:And it's still po sible the Dodgers re-sign him. They could try to keep him anchored in Los Angeles as they try to figure out what the rest of the rotation will Matt Kemp Jersey look like. After all, it is no guarantee that Scherzer will return, and the rotation is still in a difficult position.Trevor Bauer, the team's big free-agent signing before 2021, exercised his player option for 2022, but as he is being investigated for sexual a sault, his future with Cody Bellinger Jersey the team is completely up in the air. Dustin May is coming off Tommy John surgery himself and might not be available to pitch again until midseason, and even thenhe'll likely be eased back into the rotation.The only pitchers at this point all but guaranteed to return to the rotation are Walker Buehler and Julio Urias, while Tony Gonsolin seems like a good bet to join the rotation if significant upgrades aren't made.Don't count out a reunion of Kershaw and the Dodgers just yet. But don't be surprised either if his days of pitching at Chavez Ravine in a home uniform are over.

Yelich 499-foot HR for Brews, but Grichuk, Rockies win in 10 September 7 sharefacebooktwitterredditlink DENVER (AP) Christian Yelich led off the game with a 499-foot homer for Milwaukee, but Randal Grichuk connected twice for the Colorado Rockies, including a three-run drive in the 10th inning Cody Allen Jersey to beat the Brewers 10-7 Tuesday night.The Brewers began the day two games behind San Diego for the final NL wild-card spot.Yelich gave Milwaukee a great start, launching a drive into the third deck at Coors Field.
