Just saw a blurb on MLBN that Mr. Stroman hasn't allowed an earned run

in 20 consecutive innings.

[Frayed Knot]

And for that stretch he was today named NL player of the week

The Reds call up heralded prospect Elly De La Cruz

[Frayed Knot]

The Reds are throwing him into deep end, hitting him 4th from the git-go.

[ashie62]

He has hit for cycle over three days and stole a base today



Elly DC Matt McClain Stephen Steer are the Reds core now

[MFS62]

Zack Wheeler has a no-hitter going through seven innings.

Later

[MFS62]

Nope. Wheeler down 2-1 in the 9th.

Later

[batmagadanleadoff]

A's win their 4th straight. A win tomorrow and their WL pct. will be over .250.

[ashie62]

The A's do hit some but have very lousy pitching, kinda like the, never mind

[Frayed Knot]

Tampa took two of three this weekend from Texas in a matchup of the AL's top two teams.

TBR keeps rolling, that's 8 of their last 9

[The Hot Corner]

8 of 9 for the Rays. Just like the Mets who are on a 8 of 9 roll of their own.



The Mets are putting the pedal to the metal, they're just stuck in the wrong gear.

[Frayed Knot]

It's not so much that the Yanx want all the calls to go their way. Hell, every team wants the calls to go their way.

The difference is that the Yanx expect the majority to be in their favor.

Not sure that there's been a borderline B/S call tonight that they haven't bitched about.

[Frayed Knot]

Sawx win, Thaaaaaaa Sawx Win!!!!





This, btw, was the first Yanx/Sawx series of the season ... in mid-June!! But, hey, each team gets a guaranteed series against the Reds each year so, y'know, there's that.
