Runs

Is a handful 5 runs?

 

[MattFancy]

The streak lives!

That's what happens when your team ERA is over 5! I don't like the chances of it ending tonight with Miley on the mound

From the three hole to three As. Just another example of why your manager's a drunken buffoon.

Ive never heard the term handful to be equivalent to 5 before. Thanks.

Can't believe we gave up Renteria to get him

 

[Limp Ditka]

I hate stupid managers. No reason in the world why Nova's facing Shaw there in the 7th

 

[Gally]

Orlando Arcia with web gem to save game

Arcia is the best SS in baseball. It is so much fun to watch him

What about the play Thames made on the other end?  Without that it is an E-6 and tying run scores......

Nova is generally good up to around 80-90 pitches and then falls apart.  It would be cool if Hurdle figured that out at some point.

19 in a row for the Orioles now! Go for the record damn it!

 

[Limp Ditka]

David Ortiz not only getting his # retired today, but had a street and an airport gate named in his honor this week, because why not.

I hope they're faster than his home run trot

This is so hilarious

At least I'm not a Mets fan, that's what all the fans of ####ty teams can agree on.   @Gildo

 

[shadyridr]

Michael Kay just said stat I can't believe. Today's pitchers duel between tanaka and darvish was only the 2nd time in history that both pitchers threw at least 7ip, allowing 0 runs and 9+ strikeouts. That can't be possible can it?

 

[shadyridr]

Here's a tweet about it...

This is 2nd MLB game in last 100 yrs where each starter allowed 0 R, 3 H or fewer and had 9+ K. Other: Aug. 26, 1968 Senators-Twins

 

[Limp Ditka]

Arbitrary date out of a hat tidbit

The Royals have the 2nd best record in the AL since May 8th.

 

[gump]

Random note...best personality in the league outside the lines (all team high level sample)...George Springer.

 

[Limp Ditka]

James Shields making all kinds of history today.

Recorded his 2,000th career strikeout and within the first 3 innings has given up first career HRs to 3 different A's.

I was going to say that the double no-hitter would have had to have been one, but it is just barely outside the 100-year threshold.

The Japanese Babe Ruth.  It would only make sense for him to land in the Bronx.

Needs to get fatter.

sadly, unless George comes back from the dead, nobody in the Yankees front office will spend what it takes to get him.

 

[Eephus]

Adeiny Hechavarria to the Rays for two minor leaguers:  an AA OF and an A-ball SP.  I guess Hechavarria is a nominal upgrade over Tim Beckham and is affordable for the next year and a half.

I would rag on the Marlins but they're 8 1/2 games up on the Giants.

Because they dropped to third in total payroll?

 

[Eephus]

I'm curious to see what the Yankees do next.  They're closer to the luxury tax threshold this year than they've been since it was instituted in 2003.  The current agreement penalizes repeat offenders but the AL is tight enough that the Yankees seem like obvious buyers at the deadline.

They have $76M coming off the books next year w/ CC, Arod, McCann, Holliday, Pineda and Clippard but it's hard to imagine the Yankees with a payroll not among the biggest in baseball.

 

[Limp Ditka]

More Maddon Magic / Dumb Luck as he inserts Contreras into the leadoff spot, first time in his professional career, and he of course goes yard.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Carlos Carrasco,

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Through 7 innings, the Indians have had 27 at bats with RISP.  Welcome back Cole Hamels!!!!!

Tribe had lead off batter on base all 8 innings

First Dodger Stadium visit last night.  Was with a buddy who has been a Dodger fans since the '70s and had never seen them play live ... anywhere. If I never have a son, at least I can say I took a little kid to his first Dodgers game. 

Angel Stadium tomorrow night. Then possible thread ranking my stadiums through the years.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Whoever this guy coaching the DBacks is should be fired before Taijuan Walker's done showering tonight.

TJ for Smyly thought he would do well in Seattle, sucks for him and the M's

Freeway Series continues tonight.

Pregame outside of ballpark: No surprise, Angels win by default.

Dodger Stadium parking lot is like the seven circles of hell

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Dodgers fans somehow just managed to unfurl a giant LA banner in the bleachers in RF. Spanned two sections.

I shudder to think of the death toll if that were attempted in many other MLB parks.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Kris Bryant. :deadbanana:

Yeah I have zero shares of Bryant and I think this sucks balls. 

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Gonna be another 108 years IMO. 

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Run-of-the-mill ninth inning in Anaheem: two-out, 3-2 game-tying HR to dead center; then E6, WP, K/WP and E2 to end the game.

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Cubs DFA Montero after he rips Arrieta 

Joe was talking about players always being held accountable and responsible to teammates. I wonder what his right-hand man Dave Martinez thought about that, and if his mind flashed back to thirty years ago and Mrs. Ryne Sandberg--allegedly. 

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Bartolo Colon DFA'd.

If this is it for him, that will be it for the last remaining active Montreal Expo.

 

[heckmanm]

Reds and Brewers have played 9 times this year and are averaging just under 4 combined HR

 

[gump]

Yeah I have zero shares of Bryant and I think this sucks balls. 

No kidding...my man crush started from $ but now I just plain love the guy...nothing serious it seems?  An excuse to sit out the ASG anyway.
