Good thing this was all preceded by a GiDP And, of course, when talking about the Braves early lead you can't give enough credit to the NYM lack of hitting with runners on which tonight involved failing to get the ball out of the infield in multiple ABs [#weak grounder/K]

Annnnnd ... already a delayed start.

Houston salvages the final game vs the Yanx and possibly even a tiny bit of their dignity. They scored 3 in the top of the 1st and then hung on for a 4-3 win to go 1-6 in the season series.
-
Yanx are 6-0 vs Houston with one game to go and have out-scored them 40-18 so far this season. The Astros now sit in last place at 12-24 overall with a -35 RS/RA differential. Houston, you have a problem.

He was the #1/1 pick out of LSU just last June and is now slated to start on Saturday vs CHC And his girl friend is internet star LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne so there's a bit of a lower-case Taylor Swift kind of deal going on here. Pirates have had a number of highly drafted pitchers in the last 20 years but, really, only Gerritt Cole has worked out, and only for a while so there are still plenty of ways this thing can go.

Phils phinally lose thanks to a nice game by Chris Bassitt and Toronto. It breaks their 7 game win streak which also ran to 11 of 12 and 18 of 21 This plummets their record to a paltry 26-12

Oh good. The Mets were in need of more travel days in August.

It occurred to me last night that I can barely name anyone on the current Red Sox. THE RED SOX!! For most of this century I knew their positions players, their starters, at least a couple of their relievers, and, hell, half their backups too. But they've done a big house cleaning/turn-over in recent years and I've totally lost touch. Their starting lineup from last night: Jarren (no, not Warren Mr. Spell Check) Duran - CF ??? Rafael Devers 3B -- OK, him I know Tyler O'Neill LF -- he's that muscular dude from Canada who was with StL the last few years Wilyer Abreu RF - ??? Dom Smith DH -- recent addition Garrett Cooper 1B -- good when he's healthy tho not always healthy and therefore well traveled [MIA, NYY, SDP, CHC] and new to Sawx Reese McGuire C -- he's actually their backup to Connor Wong who I don't know either Ceddanne Rafaela SS -- ??? Pitchers: Cutter Crawford, Brennan Bernardino, Greg Weissert, Justin Slaten

Add to the list of cautionary tales, one Paul Goldschmidt. - a 981 OPS/177 OPS+ season and an MVP in his age 34 season in 2022 - he then fell to 810/120 in 2023. Still good but a big fall. - and while it's too early to call this season a disaster, it's certainly a disaster so far as we approach the 1/4 point in the season. Now the good thing from the Cardinals standpoint is that if this fall looks like it'll be permanent this is the final year of his contract just as he turns 37 in September. But imagine if this start does foreshadow the type of player he'll be from this point forward and he was signed, as some are advocating for Pete, through age 38 or more?

Pitches tonight: Butto - 89 (or about 6 innings worth in 5 innings which, considering it looked like he was going to spend 6 innings worth in 3 innings early on, isn't too bad) Sulser - 15 SR-F - 14 Lopez - 11 Garrett - 14 Otto - 24 So Otto is cooked for tomorrow though Diaz and Diekman should be back in the mix The others used tonight should be available on Wednesday even with the short turn-around
-
Shit, we should all get free cars!
-
Nice pitching from about the 3rd inning on. On offense we had a nice inning.

This is a first guess, not a second one, but I was wary of Mendoza cycling through his relievers a bit too fast in those mid-innings. Could not Lopez, or Garrett, or SR-F gone an extra batter or three?

3 HRs allowed for JV. Astros now 0-5 vs Yanx this year.

2-1/2 good ABs from Pete tonight. It's a start.
-
Give him credit, I never thought Butto would get this far tonight but not only has he done so but he's unscored upon since that 1st inning.
-
A bit late for a polar bear to awake from his hibernation, but we'll take it.

=Centerfield post_id=154637 time=1715129519 user_id=65] Might be cuz the Mets have basically sucked for weeks but I find the games to be no fun to watch. Bad boring baseball.

'Hit it to Arenado' is not usually considered a sound strategy, but it is so far this inning.
