At Runefest 2018 a diary from a Fremminik warrior called Fell Arnesson had been shared. In this journal we discover while trying to go to RuneScape gold the White Lands that Fell travelled from Gielinor through a north of Relleka into Leng. Leng was a cold, icy uninhabited world distinguished first by ice, which went as far as the eye could see, perpetuated by snowstorms and blizzards in the distance. But, Fell arrived to discover that Leng was occupied by three or more creatures- that the first two of them were a giant, glacial-sized glacors, and a repulsive slug-like creature that was easy enough to slay but (sadly ) inedible. The next was what he described as a cloaked man whose face he could not make out who didn't respond to some of his attempts to stop him, talk to him, or anything else- this presumably frozen wanderer only walked in circles round the world of Leng, oblivious to all that surrounded him and that he did.

Kick em’ while they’re down !"EDIT: ox. Now hearing it could be bullpen gameThe World Champion Boston Red Sox come to town as the Diamondbacks play host during their home opening weekend.You can read about the pre game festivities http://www.marlinsfanproshop.com/authentic-starlin-castro-jersey , street fair, awards ceremonies, etc HERE. The DBacks are catching the Red Sox at either a very good or very bad time. Starting the year on an 11 game road trip has not gone so well for the world champs, having lost 3 of 4 to both the Mariners and the A’s.The lone victory in the A’s series camelast night courtesy of a Fernando Rodney blown save in the 9th.However they lost the series finale, dropping their record to 2-6.The turning point in that game was a defensive miscue between Jackie Bradley Jr, and Mookie Betts, both Gold Glovers.Their record is indicative of how they’ve played as their starting pitching has been awful and only a few guys in their lineup are hitting. So it’s either a good time to take advantage of them, or conversely, they may be due to wake up and start playing better. Lets hope it’s the former and not the latter.Due to luxury taxconcerns, and a desire to extend some of their core players, it was an uneventful offseason for the Red Sox. Their two biggest FA signings were to bring back post season heroes, Nathan Eovaldi and Steve Pearce, and their biggest trade acquisition was Colton Brewer, a reliever from the Brewers. (Would have been cooler if he stayed where he was)They also managed to sign ace starter Chris Sale to a 5 year, 145M extension, and just the other day also extended Xander Bogaerts for 6 years, 120M.A hanging cloud however is the fact that J.D. Martinez has an opt out after 2019.There is a widespread assumption he will exercise that opt out if he’s healthy.Then there is superstar and MVP Mookie Betts,who is afree agent after the 2020 season and does not seem amenable to a team friendly extension. Notable losses for the Red Sox are mostly from the bullpen, Craig Kimbrel remains an unsigned free agent, and Joe Kelly is now with the Dodgers. For a much more detailed off season review, be sure to check out MLB Trade RumorsThe Diamondbacks are not without their own issues of course.It was announced today that Jake Lamb has a grade 2 strain of his left quad and will be out a minimum of 6 weeks, as a “starting point”, per Torey Lovullo. Luvollo spoke at some length about howbig a blow losing both Lamb and Souza was to the team.Obviously a big blow to us, another big blow to us with the loss of Steven Souza..... two guys that you’re really counting on, two big horses in the race Wei-Yin Chen Jersey , that hurts. I’m not going to avoid thinking about it, I want to be real. I’m not going to try to sugar coat anything , because they are both very special players. In similar ways they are coming off 2018 injuries and you’re hoping that they’re going to be able to turn it aroundand come out and do what they’re supposed to do.It hurts double. Torey indicated that while Christian Walker will get the bulk of the playing time at 1st, Wilmer Flores will also get some looks. Alex Avila would only be used at first in more of an emergency situation. Red Sox: Who’s Hot ?JD Martinez. 12 for 33, .364. 3 HR, 8 RBI,1.053 OPSMitch Moreland. 6 for 22, 4 walks, 1 HR 5 RBI .930 OPSXander Bogaerts 7 for 25, .280, 4 Walks .899 OPSWho’s Not:Everyone else with more than 10 PA has under .700 OPSAs a team they are hitting .240/.306/.384, .690 OPS and scoring4.1 R/GBy contrast, the DBacks hitters have gotten off to a hot start, batting .280/.324/.526 .850 OPS, scoring 5.86 R/G , 5th best in MLBDBacks team stat pages here.The offense has been lead by Christian Walker and Adam Jones. Red Sox Pitching: See team stats here. The Red Sox rank 28thin team ERA , 6.00.The DBacks rank30th,7.14 ERA, and also rank 30th in team FBvelocity, 89.4 per Fangraphs . (MLB Avg is 92.7).Perhaps John Ryan Murphy’s outing drops the average a tick though.The Red Sox have gotten just one quality start in 8 tries.That came from Chris Sale in his second start of the year vs the A’s, but they lost that game too, 1-0.Matt Barnes and Ryan Brasier are sharing the closing duties, and neither has allowed a run yet. Brewer and Brandon Workman are also unscored upon so far., As a whole, their bullpen has been pretty good. The main issue has been their rotation. Pitching MatchupsFriday Jeff Locke Jersey , April 5th, 4:10 PMRick Porcello, RHP, 0-1, 13.50 ERA vs. Zack Godley, RHP, 0-1, 11.81 ERAPorcello lasted just 2.2 IP in his first outing , giving up 9 runs(4 earned) on 6 hits, 4 walks and homer.Porcello has a 4 pitch mix, with a Fastball that sits around 91-92, and his best pitch is his slider, but he throws his curveball and changeup almost as much. Godley will look to rebound from an uneven season debut, brought on in part by a recurrence of the fielding problems that troubled him last year. Look to see if the Red Sox utilize the scouting report and attempt to bunt on him and make him field the ball, or if they are aggressive and swinging for the fences. The latter may play into Godley’s strength if he can keep them off balance with his curveball. Saturday, April 6th, 5:10 P.M.David Price, LHP 0-1, 6.00 ERA vs Luke Weaver 0-0, 8.31 ERAPrice pitched better than his final line looked as he gave up a 2 run homer in the 6thto end up with 4 earned runs against. The last couple of years Price has learned to deal with a little less velocity than he had in his Cy Young contending days, but he is still very effective throwingthree types of fastballs, a 4 seamer, a sinker and a cutter, allat speeds ranging from 88-94, averaging about 92 these days.He compliments that with a changeup in the mid to low 80’s that he uses about 1/3 of the time.Weaver will hope his pitching catches up to his hitting from last outing vs the Dodgers Cameron Maybin Jersey , as he gave up 3 in the 1st, 1 in the 3rdand 1 in the 4thand was unable to complete the 5thinning.He did seem to pitch better after the 1stinning though and hopefully can build off that.Sunday, April 7th,1:10 P.M.Brian Johnson, LHP 1-0, 2.08 ERA. Vs Merrill Kelly,RHP 1-0, 4.50 ERAAs of this writing the Sunday starter for the Red Sox has still not been posted.By rotation turn it should be Chris Sale, who last pitched on April 2nd. Despite the quality start alarm bells have been ringing as he recorded the lowest velocity of his careerin that start.Latest word I could find is he will pitch Tuesdayat home.Kelly turned in the DBacks first quality start in his MLB debut,allowing 3 runs in 6 IP.After the way the first 4 starters fared in LA, it almost felt like a complete game shutout. His Fastball averaged 91.5, and he mixed in hisCurveball and Changeup with effectiveness to keep Padre hitters off balance.Series Prediction:Do I really have to do this ? How about I predict a fun time at the ballpark. Even if not sold out there will be over 45,000 opening day.The team is expecting well over 100,000 for the weekend.As we know, the Red Sox travel well, and are loud. So drink some honey tea to sooth your throat before you head downtown and bring your bestand loudest vocal chords. The team is going to need your support. Milwaukee Brewers (24-16, second in the NL Central) vs. Chicago Cubs (22-14, first in the NL Central)Chicago; Saturday, 2 p.m. EDTPITCHING PROBABLES: Brewers: Zach Davies (4-0, 1.56 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, 26 strikeouts) Cubs: Cole Hamels (4-0, 3.38 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 44 strikeouts)Article continues below ...BOTTOM LINE: Milwaukee enters the matchup as winners of their last seven games.The Cubs are 6-4 against the rest of their division.

David Banks/Getty ImagesToff ticket for the second consecutive season with a 5-2 win over the Washington Nationals on Friday night.Elsewhere Asdrubal Cabrera Jersey , the New York Yankees clinched home field for the American League Wild Card Game versus the Oakland Athletics thanks to an 11-6 victory over the Boston Red Sox.Only two more regular-season days of baseball are on tap before the postseason begins. The American League playoff picture is set, but the National League may need Saturday and Sunday (and perhaps a Monday tiebreaker) to determine its teams and seeding.Here's a look at some 2018 World Series champion odds, perOddsShark, as well as an MLB playoff picture update after Friday's games.World Series OddsBoston Red Sox: 29-10Houston Astros: 33-10Chicago Cubs: 33-4Cleveland Indians: 9-1Los Angeles Dodgers: 48-5New York Yankees: 21-2Atlanta Braves: 11-1Colorado Rockies: 58-5Milwaukee Brewers: 29-2Oakland Athletics: 173-10St. Louis Cardinals: 155-2American League Playoff PictureThere is no drama in the American League race, as the seedings have already been decided. The Boston Red Sox (107-53) will be the Junior Circuit's No. 1 seed and have earned home-field advantage through the World Series should they get that far.Like last year, the defending champion Houston Astros (101-58) will be the No. 2 seed. They will have home-field advantage over the No. 3 Cleveland Indians (90-70) in the American League Division Series.The New York Yankees (99-61) are the AL's first wild-card team, having finished second to the Red Sox in the East. They will host the Oakland Athletics (96-64) in the AL Wild Card Game on Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET.The winner of that game will face the Red Sox in the ALDS. National LeaguePlayoff PictureThis is where things get a little interesting.We know four of the five playoff teams: the Chicago Cubs, Milwaukee Brewers, Atlanta Braves and the Rockies.What we don't know are the seedings (none have been decided) and the final playoff team (which will be either the Los Angeles Dodgers or St. Louis Cardinals).We do know that the 94-66 Cubs or 93-67 Brewers will be the No. 1 seed. Those two clubs are fighting for the NL Central crown, with the winner taking top honors and the loser being relegated to hosting the NL Wild Card Game on Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET.The Cubs will host the Cards on Saturday and Sunday http://www.metsfanproshop.com/authentic-tim-tebow-jersey , while the Brew Crew will be home against the Detroit Tigers. If the two teams tie in the standings, a one-game playoff at Wrigley Field will occur Monday to break the tie.The No. 2 seed is up for grabs and can be obtained by the Braves (90-70), Rockies (90-70) or Dodgers (89-71).We know the Braves can finish no lower than third by virtue of their NL East crown already. They will be in the NLDS against the NL West winner.However, the Braves are on the wrong end of tiebreakers against the Rockies and Dodgers, having lost the season series to each of them 5-2. Therefore, the only way Atlanta can get the No. 2 seed is if it finishes with a better record than the NL West winner. The Braves close their regular season with two road games against the Philadelphia Phillies.The Rockies have the one-game edge in the West with two home games left against the Nats. The Dodgers have two road matchups versus the San Francisco Giants, with ace Clayton Kershaw taking the mound Saturday.Colorado has the inside track on the NL West crown and No. 2 seed; it would get both with two victories.If Colorado and L.A. tie for the division, a one-game playoff will take place Monday in L.A. (the Dodgers get that honor by virtue of winning the season series12-7). The winner would face the Braves in the NLDS (seeding to be determined), while the loser would go to the NL Central winner for the Wild Card Game.The Cardinals' season is on the brink. They need two wins at the Cubs and two Dodgers losses at the Giants to force a one-game playoff to determine the second wild card. The good news for the Redbirds is that playoff would take place in St. Louis thanks to its 4-3 season-series win over L.A.However, it's a tall order Juan Lagares Jersey , especially with Kershaw on the mound Saturday. One more L.A. win or Cardinals loss ends St. Louis' season. KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals don’t know why they’ve been able have success against Jake Odorizzi.Alex Gordon had a two-run double and Lucas Duda added an RBI single as the Royals jumped on Odorizzi in the first inning and beat the Minnesota Twins 4-1 Thursday night.Odorizzi has given up eight runs in two starts against Kansas City while allowing 15 runs in 13 starts against other teams.Article continues below ...“It’s hard to give you an explanation why,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “We just swing the bats well off him.”Odorizzi (10-3) came in tied with Chicago White Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito for the major league lead in wins, but lasted just four innings. He gave up four runs and eight hits with one walk and two strikeouts.“I think he had trouble getting comfortable in a couple of different ways,” Rays manager Rocco Baldelli said. “He usually pitches pretty well with his fastball … When he couldn’t go to that to get the swings and misses, and really set up the rest of the at-bat, it became an issue.“But he’s been so good for us and throwing the ball so well for so long, that you know that at some point there’s going to be a start or two like this along the way.”Glenn Sparkman (2-3) gave up just one run and five hits in a season high-tying seven innings, and Duda had two hits and scored a run to help the Royals win for the fourth time in five games.“I just stayed with the plan, to stay low in the zone and attack those guys Travis d'Arnaud Jersey ,” Sparkman said. “I felt pretty strong (after seven innings). As long as I’m pushing the team pretty far I’m happy.”Jake Diekman pitched a perfect eighth and Ian Kennedy got the last three outs for his ninth save in 11 opportunities.Jorge Polanco homered with one out in the first to put Minnesota ahead.However, the Royals came right back in the bottom of the inning to take the lead. Whit Merrifield doubled and advanced to third on Nicky Lopez’s single to left-center. Gordon then doubled to deep right-center to drive both runners in.“(Odorizzi) kinda has that sneaky fastball (and) likes to throw it up in the zone,” Gordon said. “He kinda blew it by me last game, so I just wanted to make sure I was on top of the fastball. … I was able to fight off a couple good pitches and finally got one that I was able to hit and put a good swing on it.”With one out, Cheslor Cuthbert grounded to Odorizzi, who threw to third to get Gordon, but Willians Astudillo’s errant throw to first allowed Cuthbert to advance to third.Cuthbert then scored on Duda’s single to right that ended his 0-for-20 slump.The Royals added another run in the fourth. Duda got his second single and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Humberto Arteaga, who made his major league debut Thursday. Duda scored on a double by Martin Maldonado.Odorizzi credited the Royals with a good game plan.“They were aggressive,” he said. “Put the balls in play, kind of the same as the last game. The balls that were put on the ground were kind of in that good spot. They were hitting the ball back up the middle Noah Syndergaard Jersey , they weren’t trying to do too much with it. … They got on top of fastballs. They did what they needed to do.”TRAINER’S ROOMTwins C Mitch Garver started Thursday’s game but left after the seventh inning with left heel soreness. … OF Byron Buxton is traveling with the club, though he’s not eligible to return from the 10-day injured list until Tuesday. He went on the IL on Tuesday, retroactive to last Saturday, with a right wrist contusion.Royals 3B Hunter Dozier finished a three-day rehab in Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Wednesday. He’s been on the 10-day injured list since June 3 (retroactive to May 31) with a right oblique strain. He was expected to return to Kansas City on Thursday for the birth of his child. He’s expected to head to Triple-A Omaha to continue the rehab through the weekend. Yost did not have an update on Dozier’s status.ROSTER MOVESTwins recalled RHP Kohl Stewart from Triple-A Rochester and optioned RHP Sean Poppen to Rochester. The Twins played 17 innings against Boston on Tuesday. The Twins are near the end of a 13-day stretch without a day off. They’ll be off June 24 following this four-game series.Royals SS Adalberto Mondesi was placed on the 10-day IL with what Yost called a “very minor” right groin strain. Yost said it was more precautionary than anything. He was replaced on the roster by SS Arteaga from Triple-A Omaha. Arteaga, 25, is in his ninth season in the Royals’ system since being signed as a 16-year-old non-drafted free agent in 2010.UP NEXTLHP Martin Perez (7-3, 4.09 ERA) will get the start for Minnesota. He’ll face Royals RHP Jakob Junis (4-6, 5.33 ERA) in the second game of the four-game series.

That might be the case for a while longer, as the decision makers in ownership work on gathering and interviewing candidates for the Birds’ new manager and GM.There’s plenty of action elsewhere in baseball, though, as both NL Division Series got started last night. And there’s no shortage of ex-Orioles to root for. In Los Angeles, Manny Machado’s Dodgers took a 1-0 series lead on Nick Markakis’ (and Kevin Gausman’s, Brad Brach’s and Ryan Flaherty’s) Braves. In Milwaukee Chris Young Jersey , Jonathan Schoop’s Brewers pulled off a dramatic walkoff win over the Rockies in extras, although Schoop had only a pinch-hitting appearance.A full slate of four Division Series games are on the schedule today. That includes (barf) the opening game of the Yankees/Red Sox ALDS, which is truly going to be a chore to watch, if we even bother at all. Each of those teams has an ex-Oriole of their own (Zach Britton on the Yankees, Steve Pearce on the Red Sox), but that’s not really enough to get me to care.LinksShowalter, Duquette and the end of another era - School of RochRoch Kubatko offers his thoughts on the departures of Dan Duquette and Buck Showalter, and he has particularly nice things to say about Buck.Appreciating Buck Showalter: He turned a losing team into a winner (updated) - Steve MelewskiSteve Melewski does the same.Who are candidates for Orioles' top baseball job? - BaltimoreBaseball.comRich Dubroff throws out some names of potential candidates for the Orioles’ now-vacant GM job.

ST. PETERSBURG Paul Goldschmidt Jersey , Fla. (AP) —iel Robertson has been put on the 10-day disabled list with a sprained left thumb and might miss the rest of the season.Robertson was hurt sliding into second base on a double Friday night. He will see a hand specialist Sunday to determine if surgery will be required.“In all likelihood it’s going to be a significant amount of time, we’re talking six to eight weeks,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said Saturday.Robertson is hitting .262 with nine homers, 34 RBIs and has a .382 on-base percentage in 88 games.“I went in hard http://www.piratesfanproshop.com/authentic-josh-bell-jersey ,” Robertson said. “When I got up I took my batting gloves and didn’t feel anything. (Then) my thumb didn’t feel too well. I thought it was just dislocated.”Tampa Bay purchased the contract of infielder/outfielder Brandon Lowe from Triple-A Durham. After hitting 16 homers in his first two minor league season, he has gone deep a combined 22 times this season between Double-A Montgomery (8) and Durham (14).Lowe, with a smile, credited “eating to-go apple sauces” with his power surge.“That kind of sparked it all Willie Stargell Jersey ,” Lowe said.Cash said Lowe will probably start Sunday in left field.“Impacting the baseball like that, it’s hard not be noticed,” Cash said.

It has been a plentiful offseason for front office types trying to justify not spending money, and in many ways this sounds an awful lot like we heard three decades ago, which brings us to our Dodgers rewind.If you have any questions for future podcasts, please send them to tblapodcast@gmail.com, or tweet us at @ericstephen or @jacobburch.Dodgers rewindThis week’s flashback was 39 years ago, when a pair of transactions inexorably linked was enough to scare the Dodgers away from the free agent market for seven full years. The duo known as Stangoltz:This was still in the relative infancy of free agency, and the Dodgers made a splash by signing a pair of pitchers. The starter, Dave Goltz, got six years and $3 million in total; the reliever Wei-Yin Chen Jersey , Don Stanhouse, got five years and $2.1 million.Goltz per the Dodgers 1980 media guide “became the first player to be selected by the maximum 13 teams in the first round of the free agent draft in the history of the draft.”He had a pretty good April in that first season, but the rest was so underwhelming for Goltz that an April 1980 highlight was the pick for a blurb on his 1982 Topps card.After that in 1980, he had a 4.76 ERA in 140 innings, including a terrible Game 163. Goltz allowed four runs in three innings, giving the Astros a 4-0 lead in an eventual 7-1 win at Dodger Stadium.Stanhouse when he signed with Los Angeles said, “I’ve wanted to wear Dodger blue for a long time, and now it’s a dream come true.”He had a nickname that was mentioned both in the 1980 Dodgers media guide as well as on the back of his 1981 Topps card:Orioles manager Earl Weaver had a more blunt version of the nickname, calling Stanhouse “Full Pack,” referencing the number of cigarettes he smoked while watching Stanhouse pitch.Stanhouse pitched just 25 innings for the Dodgers Jeff Locke Jersey , all in 1980, with a 5.04 ERA, 16 walks and only five strikeouts. He was injured and didn’t pitch in 1981, and was released with three years remaining on his contract. Goltz didn’t fair too well either, with a 4.25 ERA (82 ERA+) in 252 innings. He was released in April 1982, with nearly four years remaining on his deal.The Dodgers were so shook by the failures of Goltz and Stanhouse that they didn’t sign another significant free agent for seven years, not until Mike Davis got a three-year contract in December 1987. Davis was terrible with the Dodgers, too, but etched his name in franchise lore with an important walk ahead of Kirk Gibson’s heroics in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series.In December 1986, then-executive vice president Fred Claire said about Tim Raines Cameron Maybin Jersey , “We haven’t stated a policy (on bidding for free agents), but we are just not planning in terms of getting into the free-agent market.”Keep in mind that this was prime collusion time in baseball, with Raines one of the aggrieved. Gibson was too, which was how he became a free agent prior to the 1988 season, falling into the Dodgers’ lap. So ownership collusion across baseball was a factor, but the failures of Goltz and Stanhouse were also a large part of what kept the Dodgers away from free agency for the better part of a decade.Podcast linksRSS feedEpisode link (time: 56:42)
