MLB News & Notes (other than Cubs or Sox)

Saw a camera sweep of the Yankees dugout and almost had completely forgotten that Larry Rothschild is their pitching coach.

[mrfelina]

I did a Wiki search for him the other day to see if he was still their pitching coach. Interesting how he's singed these one year deals with them for a few years. Not sure if that's the norm.

 

Didn't know he was born in Chi.

He's a South Sider but grew up a Yankees fan.

Maddon to the Angels is official. Sounds like a 3-year deal.

Another reason to stay up and watch the late west coast games

Good luck with that pitching staff.

I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other on the juiced ball stuff, but Soler hitting almost 50 HRs this season is pretty hilarious.

[rok]

That by itself doesn't shock me, but seeing 58 players hit 30 or more bombs does.

Joe West actually has a point for once.

Damn, that's really fucking stupid. It *should* cost Lo Duca some money.

Lo Duca told host Chad Millman and fellow replacement-grade bro and Barstool podcaster Blackjack Fletcher

 

Well, that speaks volumes about the platform.

Silly me, I can't recall any previous cival war.

Thats the guy Yadi spit on. Doesnt seem as bad now.

[jstraw]

I've always loved Yadi.

What a dipshit.
