MLB News & Notes (other than Cubs or Sox)

Giants rookie Heston no-hit the Mets.

[rok]

Isn't he like a 27 year-old rookie? The Mets sure could use some offense.

[jstraw]

11 Ks and 3 HBP.

[funkster]

This seems premature.  He wasn't doing very well so far this year.

Well, looks like his numbers have improved since i last saw...still seems early though.

[rok]

Wouldn't be surprised if this were temporary, and then he got sent to AAA after a cup o' coffee. Isn't Nolasco hurt?

Cleveland also calling up Francisco Lindor.

 

Cubs play both Cleveland and Minnesota next week.

I don't think there has been enough big prospect callups this year.

Neither does Scott Boras.

Cleveland must've made the announcement during the rain delay at the Clippers game. Lindor started the game and led off. I got there too late to see him play but just in time for the rain to start to fall. And now I won't see him play in Columbus again unless he sucks in the Show.

Scherzer had quite the day...

[Kid]

There are no longer 7 Royals in line to start the ASG.  There are now 8 with the addition of Omar Infante, he of the .496 OPS, which is the worst among major league hitters with enough qualifying plate appearances.

 

Hopefully this will kill fan voting forever.

I may just start voting for all Royals players.  I like the idea of intentionally sabotaging the jacked up process.

Bud Black got nipped in San Diego.

Absolutely.
