The Dongers Club – 8/14

An eight game Monday Night slate with games in Coors Field and Truist Park.

 

WEATHER

No issues, all games will play

 

MAX FRIED

The worst part about Fried being injured is that he ruined my Cy Young prediction.  The best part is that we’re getting him for $9400 in mid-August.

YU DARVISH

Here, I go again, on my own.  Going down the only road I’…  You know the song.  It’s me, it’s Darvish, it won’t end well given our past.  But the Orioles should chase enough to give him a 6+ strikeout spot.  For $8700, I’ll bite.

  2. Miles Mikolas

 

DIAMONDBACKS

Carroll, Marte, Gurriel, Walker

We all did this cool thing as a kid.  You would take a soda (it’s not Pop, if you call it Pop, you are a ‘tard) and we would take some candy, like sweet-tarts and drop them into the soda and then watch it EXPLODE.

That’s Chris Flexen in Coors against the Diamondbacks.  Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
