    1-0 Dodgers in bottom 8th in Texas deGrom: 7 IP, 1 R, 3 H, 7 K, 1 BB Yamamoto: 7 IP, 0 R, 5 H, 10 K, 0 BB Tommy Edman led off the game with a HR JdG on the short end of a 1-0 game. I think I've seen that movie before.

    What everyone is missing here is that Acuna's foot touched Arenado's mitt early on. He was out before he ever over-slid.

    A leadoff double ... and they actually score him!!!!!

    But back to the game for a minute. I think the Cards have more two-out hits in this game than the Mets have this season.

    Having seen the windup and motion by Tim Robbins' in 'Bull Durham', there's no way in Hell he was hitting 80 on the gun.

    Cubs led the DBacks 2-1 heading into the bottom of the 7th at Wrigley this afternoon ... and held on to win 13 - 11 - first the Cubs tacked on 5 in bottom 7th to lead 7 -1 - Snakes came back with TEN in top 8 for an 11 - 7 lead - Cubs then counter with six in the bottom half HRs ARZ: E. Suarez (GS); Gurriel Jr. (3R), both obviously in the 8th HR Cubs: C. Kelly (2 - 2R & Solo); Happ (GS); K. Tucker (2R); S. Suzuki (Solo) It's like one of those days where the wind was blowing out at Wrigley, but for only about a 45 minute span. Arizona became only the fourth team to lose a game in which they scored ten or more runs in one inning. ARZ 8th: Single - Single - Single - Grand Slam (4) - =#FF0000]Line Out - BB - Single - WP - =#FF0000]K - IF Single (1) - =#0040FF]Double (2) - BB - 3R HR (3) - =#FF0000]Line Out

    Aaron Judge goes 1/4 plus a walk tonight (no, it was a single) which causes his BA to plummet down to .400 and sends his OPB crashing down to .518

    This thread reminds me of the movie 'Grosse Point Blank' where Martin Blank/Jon Cusack finds out that the site of his childhood home is now a Quickie-Mart ... at least it is until it gets blown up.

    Could have done without the daily dose of leadoff walk, but otherwise well done Edwin.

    Phis & Giants wind up splitting their four game series. SF romped to two wins (over Taijuan & Nola) while the Phils scratched out their two.

    These Cardinals fouling off enough pitches?!?

    GKR cribbing off this site again re: discussing the need for 12 innings before bringing out the ghost runner rule

    A good five frames by Canning but also near 100 pitches.

    There's the kind of smart baseball we haven't been seeing much of lately.

    So Lopez throws gloves, throws at hitters, and tries to get guys to throw punches. He's just not throwing a baseball very well at the moment: 10.57 ERA; 1.696 WHIP Apparently a couple of Nats had been hit the previous game so he took it upon himself to retaliate. The HBP of Bryan Reynolds might have been OK/call it even. But that one he sailed over McCutcheon's head, not so much. The only guy who seemed to be looking to mix things up on either side was, perhaps not surprisingly, Tommy Pham who's with the Pirates this year (so far anyway).

Pitchers train too much and throw too hard and have too many elbow injuries to have sufficient durability to go 9 innings much less 10. Yeah. There was a mini-discussion here last week as to whether the permanent ghost runner was a GM-driven plan ['We can't keep churning through pitchers like this'] or an owner-driven one [don't want to pay the stadium staff overtime]. Certainly both can be true.

    Problem was, he did it in shorter minor league seasons and with only about half the power (he topped out at 23 HRs) of the likes of Rob Deer and some of his later disciples. Baseball America put Shirley in their Top-100 Prospects list (#74) after two partial low minors seasons, mainly off his .313/.457/.576 in 29 games at Kingsport despite his 35% K rates. And while it is, of course, much easier to judge all this in hindsight, I'd still like to think that ML teams and amateur/minors followers have learned to pay more attention to the red flags that go along with slash stats and small sample sizes to the point where they've gotten better over the years at scouting, touting, and drafting. Shirley barely even put up a BA above .200 after that month or so in Kingsport and never got as high as AAA.

    The Ghost runner scoring is never charged as an earned run to the pitcher. HE didn't put him on 2nd, Rob Manfred did.
  23. Frayed Knot
    Not the worst series of the year just because it was the first losing series of the year but because they played like shit the entire series. Not that there wasn't also some bad baseball in most of the series they've won this year.
