MLB 2023

Great, McClanahan leaves last night’s game v. Yankees with left forearm tightness.

Here goes our third starter out til mid 2024.
 
And that's McClanahan officially out for the rest of the season. Unreal.

At least we won the 'Won the first 13 games' streak participation trophy. Get in!
 
Came here to ask you about this. Sounds like he's been involved with an underage girl but do we know any more?
Rays are tight lipped, but he didn't travel out west for the swing. That was the obvious right move.

He was benched for a series due to immaturity to...




to potentially being a groomer.

Welp. He's been placed on the restricted list now
Yep, for at least a week.

Been lurking on baseball Twitter & the local STP scribes but really not gleaning any new information other than the league is investigating.
 
Saw on the ESPN scroll that there's an investigation of his relationship/something with a minor.
Yep. He wasn’t playing last night but was available off the bench until the fifth inning rolled around & the rumors started to gain traction. He was quickly yanked off the bench.

Certainly doesn’t look promising currently for Wander.
 
Whole bunch of rumors re: Wander Franco & his girlfriend(s) going on right now on baseball Twitter. Dominican Republic is investigating along with MLB.

What timing his hat giveaway was…

Uhm.....maybe hold off on that promo Tampa..... Rays fans should do this, but with the hats, not records.

Not unexpected but that's brutal. You've been seriously unlucky with pitching injuries this year, and to a lesser extent last year with Baz.

Think you'll still make the playoffs?
They still should, the AL East is very competitive though, all 5 teams with a winning record, the Red Sox have also had their pitching decimated with injury but they're all just coming back and having one of the best offensive records I'm hopeful they'll make it as well
 
For those of you who think EPL refs are the worst, I would like to introduce you to MLB home plate umpires.

The balls on the catcher to even try framing that as a middle of the zone strike, let alone actually getting the call :lol:

Reminds me of Kleberson and his teen lady back in 2003. He actually delayed transfer offers after the World Cup because she wasn't 16 or something. Disgusting.
 
Saw some reports that somebody "close to the investigation" said he'll never play in the bigs again. As usual we should probably take it with a pinch of salt but some outlets are running with it.
Just read that there are now two girls he had relationships with.

feck him. Don't want him back even if he somehow comes out of this unscathed.

If this stuff is true then forget seeing the field again, he should be seeing bars for a good long while.
 
Glad I woke up to watch us run into a triple play from two on & nobody out in the top of the ninth.
 
Giants top prospect, and maybe the top LHP prospect in baseball, makes his debut tonight against Philly. 109K's in 67 innings in AA and AAA this year. Local kid (San Jose) as well.
