Dumb Marlon Byrd chases pitch 132. Complete game!

Guess that's gonna do it for the NL West.

Sixth one ever!
The ump was clearly, unambiguously, insanely wrong on the call that Bochy argued. Seems personal.

SF's playoff chances go from 11% to 3% with the sweep. LA goes from 90% favorites to win the division to 98%.

They should be hire because it's the Cubs. Maybe that's factored in somehow?Good Posting Judge said:

@CJNitkowski: Pirates lose at Milwaukee 5-3 & are now 29-78 at Miller Park since Randall Simon hit a sausage from the sausage race on 7.9.03 #BlameRandall

Harper scored 4 runs last night without swinging the bat.

Makes sense to pitch around him, though. Guy behind him is slugging a lousy .661 since the all star break.Grahamburn said:
Has only happened 4 times apparently. Bryce Harper, Rickey Henderson, Joe Morgan, and Larry Doby

Those are the guys with 4 runs without recording an official at-bat. I don't know if anyone else has done it without swinging the bat at all.

Crazy Harper stat: only 38.3% of pitches to him this season have been in the strike zone. In 2004- the year he walked 234 times- 44.4% of pitches to Bonds were in the strike zone.
Another fun one: he's seen 32 pitches out of the zone in the three games this month and swung at one of them.

He didn't take any warm-up swings on-deck either. Trying to psyche out the pitcher.

He didn't even bring a bat to the plate the last time.

Harper's second game of 4 BB and 4 R in the last three weeks, but he did go 0-2 against the Rockies on Aug. 18.

This whole Matt Harvey thing is a mess. I want to see some emperial data telling me north of 180ip is bad for TJ guys. Seems like a high #### factor involved.

Now saying 200 IP including playoffs? Presumably because we like round numbers.

It's pretty hard to root against the Mets, they are the team every fan wants. Bunch of ridiculous in house pitching talent, great trades in getting Cespedes and Uribe, and some yeomen regulars doing work on the cheap.
To me this is Harvey's call, if he wants to do a Strasburg then so be it. But there is a lot of tap dancing here, if Mets knew he was on an innings limit then they are morons. Seems to me though if I was Harvey, this is on me. No one is telling me I can't pitch in the playoffs. I either do or I dont, but what I do with my body/arm is my choice.

Sounds like the ####ification of America. I might not go to work tomorrow because traffic might suck and an asteroid might hit me. Walter and Randy Johnson would pitch.

The Mets aren't really a big market team. They don't draw particularly well and ownership has been reticent to spend in FA. I think of them more like a Seattle or Detroit than I doi a Red Sux or Doyers.I get what you're saying but they're still from NY.

I want to bump all the stuff you predicted this year, you have been the most wrong of any baseball forum poster in 2015. Porcello is a top ten pitcher leads the pack in dumb things said this year. Also rooting for the Yankees AND Red Sox is the gayest thing in fandom. NTTAWWT

I think you said at some point that Boston was the best hitting team in the AL. Did you mean in the past or future? Because the present ended really badly for you. But then again, you have your Yankees and Twins. One of them is bound to make the playoffs!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hold on, hold on.
I need to go to the bathroom and change my OrtizPED jersey to a Brett Gardner jersey. No way anyone notices.
