    And Megill soon? ... maybe soon-ish?

    The fact that nobody traded for Contreras at least hints at the idea that the Cubs asking price was high, higher than anyone wanted to pay. Him Not being with the Cubs by August 3rd was considered the surest thing going into this season's trading splurge. This all reminds me of the 'Rumor Mill' days of the MoFo when all sorts of hypotheticals from all sorts of sources (real and imagined) were thrown against the wall, only to have someone wail afterward about why Steve Phillips didn't make the Really Good Player for Really Bad Met deal when it was on the table!!

    Even an ugly ending can't dampen the rare TGDH, the Triple Day Game Happiness

    Givens giveth.

    A VOGELBOMB!!

    Missing Nats: - Bryce Harper (last played in 2018) - Rendon (2019) - Kurt Suzuki (2020) - Scherzer (2021) - Trea Turner (2021) - Juan Soto (2022) - Josh Bell (2022) plus a host of others, but the named ones above constitute a heckuva brawn drain in a short time. And the one holdover from the WS team they bet on, Strasburg, has barely pitched in three seasons now.

    3 innings worth of pitches for Bassitt thru 4 About 5-1/2 worth for Sanchez
  8. Frayed Knot
    All set up by a very hard working AB by Lindor.
  9. Frayed Knot
    Jeez, he reached for that one and went dead center anyway!

    Is Rip Vin Scully any relation to Rip Van Winkle?

    Mariners prevail 7 - 3 to take the series 2 games to 1, which was nice particularly after smelling out the joint in Game 1 Monday night. The Yanx, who are now a sub-.500 since July 1st (14 - 15), take off on a nine game road trip starting on Friday where both the travel and the teams will give them a bit of a challenge: three games each in StL - SEA - [day off] - BOS

    =MFS62 post_id=102137 time=1659548875 user_id=60] Seattle up 6-0 against the MFYs in the Bronx. They've hit three Home runs off Gerrit Cole ...

    Newly acquired David Robertson in to close for the Phils: - Austin Riley, K - Eddie Rosario, K - Marcel Ozuna, Foul pop-out 3 - 1 Phillies is your final

    Braves still up 1-0 in top 8th when they appeared to get out of the inning with a 5-4-3 GIDP with Philly runners on 1st & 3rd. But replay showed that Realmuto beat the rap at 1st so no DP and the game was tied. Nick Castellanos then followed with a 2R HR So 3-1, bottom 8

I think the Orioles picked him up. Maybe we should have? He's a good player, especially at that price.

    And the int'l draft idea was re-rejected.

    It works both ways, you can not shut up and be good too. Gary's call of the Bartolo homerun enhances rather than detracts from it for example. It's not that you say nothing -- you are there to describe the action after all -- it's that you also know how and when to back off and let the moment speak for itself. Just now rewatching the Bartolo clip (over two minute's worth) Gary calls the HR with the astonishment that the event deserves as Bart rounds 1st and heads for 2nd. But then he pretty much shuts up until picking it up again as he hits 3rd with the news that the players had vacated the dugout. Ronnie doesn't chime in until after Bart crosses the plate. Was Gary's "This is one of the great moments in the history of baseball" over the top? Maybe, but only if you take it too literally [Chris Russo]. Mainly it's just a difference in attitude, the difference between describing the action when necessary vs feeling that each moment is somehow lessened unless your voice is all over it.

    =Fman99 post_id=102075 time=1659525306 user_id=86] I admire, too, how often he was able to stop talking and let the moment speak for itself. I feel like that's a lost art in broadcasting nowadays.

    Braves up 8-1 in the 5th and threatening for more.
  20. Frayed Knot
    Everything going wrong today Except for deGrom.

It's a shame they can't find any dead time to cut. And now four pitches later comes another two-plus minute break.

    Surprised at the quick hook. Five innings but only four innings worth of pitches.
  24. Frayed Knot
    Soto would had it.
  25. Frayed Knot
    It took Abbott over 30 pitches just to get thru inning #1, and barely 40 more in the 4 innings since.
