Adam Engel robs a home run for the second straight game.

 

[MAC_32]

I've been wondering why that guys still been playing

 

[Kraft...]

Why give JD anything close to a strike in that situation, yeesh 

 

[maizie]

Juan Soto was 2-2 with three walks in the first of two games today. That’s 49 walks and 49 Ks this year.  He is 2nd in the NL in OBP at .437 and his OPS is now over 1.000 in 278 PAs. 

In his first at bat in Game 2, he homered on an 0-2 count vs a leftie. He hits .316 when the count starts 0-2 with 11 extra base hits and an .870 OPS.  He now has 14 homers in the majors and 14 homers in the minors and a combined 1100 OPS this year. 

And then struck out his next three plate appearances.

I know I'm late to the party but man the Orioles are horrible.

Lazy post, maizie. 

ETA: posty. Takes me two posts to see it.

‘98 Yankees, ‘01 Mariners, and ‘17 Doyers were the only three teams in MLB history to reach 80 wins in 114 games. Add the ‘18 Red Sox after tonight.

Sox might not win the WS but I’m enjoying the living #### out of this season. They have a knack for coming back late on teams and their chemistry seems through the roof. Anything can happen in the playoffs but I can say pretty confidently that any team that beats them come playoff time will have earned it. They will have fight in them come October and as a fan that is all you can ever ask.

This David Bote guy is okay 

1.3 WAR in only 78 plate appearances

I can tell you which team it wasn't. 

 

[Wrigley]

.426 BABIP

Hitting where they aren’t seems like a good approach

First team ever to be 100 games out of first.

thank you.  I was trying to google the other day best record through 112 games, though all I was getting were things about final season records.

Welcome to the big leagues Brett Kennedy

The Padres have a lot of experience at being out of pennant races but I like the idea of them running out their young pitchers to see what they've got.  They're no more likely to get injured in the bigs and getting rocked by MLB players is less dispiriting as being hit by minor leaguers in the PCL.

This was stupid as hell last year and even more stupid that they decided to do this again.

Always have to try to make the millennials excited about something.

A's keep adding to their bullpen. Get Fernando Rodney from the Twins.

I'd say that's subtracting

Saw you in this thread at least twice since I posted that, but go ahead and keep pretending that you're quick to the wit.

So you stalking me now?

 

[Epic Problem]

So you stalking me now?

You got me on this one. Opening a thread and noticing what's going on and who's active within it. That's pretty much textbook stalking right there. 

 

[Wrigley]

He stalks everyone

Hey Guys! I was just in here stalking and noticed that Bour has been traded to the Phillies. Does this mean Santana to the OF?

I think Bour just became 2018 Matt Stairs.

Really don’t see a point for the Angels to bring Trout back this season

Nice football game in Camden tonight

I was at a party and checked scores and saw 19-12 and wondered why New England Patriots were back to being the Boston Patriots.

I was surprised the Dodgers didn't try to strengthen their bullpen at the deadline.  John Axford doesn't count.

I realize they're trying to stay under the CBT number but there were a lot of RPs available in addition to Machado and Dozier.

And that will be the end of Dave Roberts

 

[Billy Bats]

Ramon Laureano has a pretty decent arm.

 

 

[JuniorGong]

Sale looks strong so far in his first game back from the DL, if the Sox hold on to win this game they will be 50 games over .500

 

[Cowboysfan8]

And that will be the end of Dave Roberts

Silver lining I guess

It was painful to watch Floro walk Ianetta to end the game.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Did anybody see Adam Engel rob a HR last night? He just did it again. Same exact thing. Ive never seen that before.

He got another one.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Sad!

Chris Sale couldn't have performed like that in those unis.
