Jesús Aguilar hilariously got caught stealing signs against the Diamondbacks

Swiper no swiping.

Marlin’s first baseman Jesús Aguilar is really doing his best to become Major League Baseball’s master thief. And, honestly, it’s quite hilarious.

Last month he got caught on camera swiping a card of some sort from out of card out of Dom Smith’s back pocket. It was such an incredibly smooth move. He just slyly slid over and swiped it.

On Thursday, he got caught again. Not just by the camera this time, though.

He lifted up the armband of Diamondbacks catcher Carson Kelly while he was on base to get a quick look at some of their signals. It was absolutely comical.

Kelly was a bit annoyed but it’s Aguilar’s face after he’s caught that just drives home the laugh.

This is absolutely hilarious. It’s all in good fun, too. He’s not actually stealing signs — he’s just messing with Kelly.

This face, y’all.

Just classic. The internet remembered his swipe on Smith, too.

This is just incredible. What a run by Aguilar. Watch out, baseball. We’ve got a real master thief on our hands.

Archie Bradley le pintó dedo a los Astros desde el bullpen tras un home run de los Diamondbacks

Aparte del primer juego de su serie contra los Dodgers, los Astros no han vivido un tormento tan severo como el que muchos esperaban tras el escándalo de sus trampas. Esto, en parte, podría deberse a la ausencia de fans esta temporada. Y quizá también influya la insistencia de Rob Manfred de proteger a los Astros.

Pero eso no significa que los jugadores de la MLB hayan superado el robo de señas de los Astros — ni cerca. Este miércoles en la noche vimos esos sentimientos de reprobación durante el juego entre los Astros y los Diamondbacks.

Con Nick Ahmed bateando en el quinto inning, el shortstop de Arizona lideró un home run de 413 pies de izquierda a centro. Pero más allá del home run, pongan atención a Archie Bradley de los D-backs en el bullpen.

Traducción: Nick Ahmed – Arizona Diamondbacks corrida (1) 2

Distancia: 413 pies

Velocidad de salida: 100.9mph

Ángulo de lanzamiento: 30º

Bradley celebró el home run pintándole dedo a los jugadores de los Astros.

Y los fans de la MLB notaron el gesto.

Traducción: Archie Bradley pintándole dedo a los Astros tras el home run de Nick Ahmed.

Traducción: Archie Bradley saluda a los Astros después de que los Diamondbacks los derrotaran 14-7.

Esa es una manera de enviar un mensaje que no involucra lanzarse bolas de beisbol. Por ejemplo.

Los Diamondbacks ganaron el juego 14-7 y juegan nuevamente contra Houston el jueves.

2020 MLB Futures Odds: How many games will the Arizona Diamondbacks win?

Looking at 2020 MLB futures odds for how many games the Arizona Diamondbacks will win in the 60-game MLB season.

How many games will the Arizona Diamondbacks win in the 60-game 2020 MLB season? We look at the Diamondbacks‘ MLB futures odds, including their projected 2020 win total and Over/Under odds at BetMGM, and make our best bet.

Arizona Diamondbacks’ 2019 recap

The Diamondbacks had a solid 2019 going 85-77, but fell short of the postseason, four games out of the wild card. They were, however, the second-best NL team and fourth best in the majors vs. the run line, posting a 90-72 record. They were dead even vs. the Over/Under, going 76-76-10. In the NL West, they were an even 38-38 straight up and 41-35 against the run line.

Arizona Diamondbacks’ offseason

They made a splash, adding SP Madison Bumgarner. They also signed C Stephen Vogt, OF Kole Calhoun and RP Hector Rondon, and acquired OF Starling Marte in a trade. SP Mike Leake, added at last year’s trade deadline, has opted out of the 60-game season, while OF Steven Souza Jr., SP Taijuan Walker, RP Yoshihisa Hirano and C Alex Avila signed free-agent deals with other clubs.

How many games will the Arizona Diamondbacks win in 2020?

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday, July 2 at 8 a.m. ET.

The D-Backs’ win total is just over .500 at 30.5, with the Over at -120 and the Under at +100. They definitely should be improved with the additions of Bumgarner and Marte. The starting rotation is not spectacular, but it is deep and they don’t have problems scoring runs. They will be in the mix in the NL West. Take the OVER (-120) 30.5 WINS.

Arizona Diamondbacks’ World Series odds

At +5000, the D-Backs are a long shot to win the World Series. They have a tough road with the Los Angeles Dodgers in their division. Arizona is talented, but will need lot of things to go right at the right time to be considered a good bet for the title. AVOID.

Arizona Diamondbacks’ playoff odds

In terms of winning the NL pennant, they are +2500. That is NOT WORTH a bet. They are +1000 to win the NL West, but having to beat out the Dodgers is just about impossible. AVOID making any futures bet on the Diamondbacks.

How many games will the Arizona Diamondbacks win in 2020?

Analyzing the Arizona Diamondbacks projected win total for the 2020 MLB season, along with their odds to win the NL West and World Series.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are coming off a second-place finish in the National League West division in 2019 and look to return to the MLB playoffs this season for the first time since 2017. Today, we focus on the Diamondbacks’ 2020 regular-season win total and World Series odds. Do the Diamondbacks have what it takes? Let’s analyze:

Arizona Diamondbacks 2019 wins

The Diamondbacks went 85-77 last season but finished a resounding 21 games back of the NL West-champion Los Angeles Dodgers. They came up four games shy of a wild-card berth despite an impressive plus-70 run differential. It was Arizona’s third straight season finishing above .500.

Arizona Diamondbacks offseason

Free-agent LHP Madison Bumgarner was the Diamondbacks’ biggest catch of the offseason, luring him away from the division-rival San Francisco Giants. OF Starling Marte was also acquired via trade from the Pittsburgh Pirates to bolster the defense and offense. Manager Torey Lovullo returns for a fourth season in the desert.

Arizona Diamondbacks odds to win NL West division

The Diamondbacks (+1000) are the second favorite in what’s always a competitive NL West. They lead the San Diego Padres (+1200), Colorado Rockies (+5000) and Giants (+10000) in chasing the incumbent champion Dodgers (-1000).

With LA being far too chalky to warrant a bet within the division, the Diamondbacks are a strong value coming off a second-place finish in 2019. They’re worth a small wager to protect against injuries derailing the Dodgers’ season.

Arizona Diamondbacks World Series odds

The Diamondbacks and Padres share +4000 odds to win the World Series, despite Arizona having an edge in the division race. This makes the D-Backs the better bet to win it all in 2020.

While they haven’t won the World Series since 2001 (with Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling sharing the World Series MVP) their offense is stacked with a mix of power and speed, and Bumgarner and Robbie Ray lead the rotation. They’re worth a look for a World Series futures bet without much reasonable value beyond the +4000 cut-off.

How many games will the Diamondbacks win in 2020?

The Diamondbacks’ 2020 win total has been set at 82.5 entering the season with the OVER (-120) being the play. The Under (+100) is offering even-money, but the D-Backs have topped this projection in two of the last three seasons and finished 82-80 in 2018.

The Dodgers won last season’s head-to-head series with the Diamondbacks 11-8. It was a respectable mark for Arizona, as it should be able to rack up the bulk of its wins against the weaker teams in the division and around the rest of the National League. Marte and Bumgarner alone should add about six wins to last season’s total of 85, according to Fangraphs‘ WAR (wins above replacement).
