YEAH BABY!!!!

....

Yanx now have 4 errors, should have 5, could have 6. I'm no expert on these things but I think that's a lot for 5 innings. Tampa has 8 hits, one walk, and 4 reached on errors, that's 13 baserunners and only 15 outs ... in a Schlittler game!!
-
And the Rays chase Schlittler after 4-1/3. Not all of it was his fault, but still: 3 R (2 ER), 7 hits, plus 2 BB
-
Guardians got handed two runs in the 1st then barely got a hit until the run-scoring double in bottom 8
-
Yanx respond with a Three* Error (almost four) bottom of the 1st but the result is just one run. * McMahon, Chisholm, catcher's interference, and then nearly Chisholm again
-
They snuck him in just under the wire Not that he was much better with the ChiSox; 3-for-17 with the only highlight being a 3R HR in his 2nd game there, against the Guardians of all teams.
-
Freddie Peralta gets the start today vs Yanx and Cam Schlittler. Off to a good start: 1 - 2 - 3 on 8 pitches in top 1
-
Anthony Kay (one time NYM 1st round draft pick) gets the Game 2 start for the ChiSox today and lasts three batters: 1B, BB, GO ... and he's gone! Even by opener standards that's a quick hook. New pitcher (Sean Newcombe) goes to a 2 - 0 count and the call from the dugout is for an IW. Next pitch is an infield chopper/error by Newcombe and it's 2 - 0 Guardians, still with one out in the 1st. Over-managing by White Sox / Venable?
-
Agreed, I'm just thinking of the best option if given the worst case scenario. My NL order of preference is MIL - SDP - LAD - then ATL, those last two in that order for reasons stated above. AL I'm going TBR - CLE - CHW - Proud Boys - Medellin Cartel - Taliban- ..... - Yankees
-
So the Braves are essentially saying, "we don't need no stinkin' starters' and are managing the series so far with relievers you've barely heard of. Ten different pitchers have held the Dodgers to 7 runs over two games including getting a combined 13 innings with just one run allowed by such notable names as: Dylan Dodd [3.0 IP]; Didier Fuentes [3.2]; Ray Kerr [2.2]; Dylan Lee [0.2]; Robert Suarez [1.0] and Brent Suter [2.0] They'll counter with Chris Sale when the series resumes on Tuesday but I don't even know where they go from there. It's why I have to pull for the Dodgers in this series as I have to plan for who I think will be the potential best antidote for the Yanquis if it comes to that and I can't imagine this kind of patchwork staff thriving for the next two and a half series.

You Can't Spell "Aroldis" without "ARod"
Frayed Knot replied to Edgy MD's topic in New York Mets Talk
I think the difference can be passed off as normal growth for someone starting at age 21 as he was in that top picture. On the other hand, you can't spell Aroldis or Rodriguez without ROID, so maybe not. -
Roof was open today so no such issues. Did you hear the audio of Game One's pre-game meeting at the plate? The umps brought up and outlined the ground rules including the ball hitting the girders or cables and such. Then the Brewer coach who brought out the lineup card chimed in with, 'I've been here six years and have never seen any of that ... so we'll probably see it tonight.'

Once again, baseball is such dull game.

His personality is a bit reminiscent of Ji-Man Choi, the Korean 1B/DH the Rays had in 2022. Big, kinda round, animated, better athlete than he looked. And while you had no idea how much English Choi knew, he seemed to be one of the boys and all in on the jokes and the rest of the dugout silliness. Murakami had a down second half -- Mar/Apr - May - July (IL all of June) = 930-ish OPS; Aug - Sep = 647 & 704 -- so the jury is still out on him as far as what degree of star he'll be on this side of the Pacific Maybe that's just a slump, or maybe pitchers are getting a book on him. And of course a million Ks but lots of walks and power to go with it. Plus he 's still just 26 y/o and absolutely thumped the snot out of his HR in game 1 vs CLE. Good hair game too.

A wacko ending which I was no longer up to see: 3 - 2 Brewers / one out top 9th / runner on 1st: a long drive down the LF line by SDP's Ty France strikes a cable up near the ceiling and drops right to the LF'er for the second out. Apparently the ground rules state that if it hits something on or near the roof while in fair territory then the ball is in play. Opinions vary as to whether this ball was fair of foul when it hit and as to whether it was going to stay fair (2R HR) or foul (strike one) if it didn't. Two pitches later, Jackson Merrill flied out (deep RCF) to end the game. Trevor Megill with the gutty/lucky save: K of Tatis w/2 on to end the 8th. Then in the 9th: single. K (Machado), FO (wire), FO Game two at 4 PM today on FS1

Only with one out there could 'pushing it' be considered a good move there no matter who you are. and, even then, you've got a great arm in RF (Wells may not have known that but the coaches sh/would have) on top of a slow-footed catcher. The 3B coach did put out the stop sign but Wells admitted to not seeing it until after being "already committed". Nice retrieval and throw from RF which gave the relay man time to make an accurate throw without rushing it because it certainly wasn't Trae Turner running. That wound up being the last pitch Rasmussen would throw but the closer was spot-on too so no damage. Now this gives Rasmussen time to recover for a potential Game Four or Five which, because of extra off-days in this series [Sunday / Tuesday / Friday], wouldn't be until Thursday or Saturday so the Yanx have that hanging over their heads going forward. Both AL series have Sunday off

Game 7 of the 1991 WS found me at a friend's house where I was constantly out-voted by the crowd there who insisted on watching the Sunday Night Football game. IIRC most there were more enthralled by Chris Berman's half-time highlight show than by the game itself but that's a separate story. I'd occasionally get the channel briefly changed over baseball where the room would see the score and declare, 'See, you're not missing anything' and immediately change back. I did eventually manage to see the ending but I vowed then never to put myself in that situation again. And I haven't.
-
I doubt I'm gong to stay up for this one, but the Padres got to Les Mis for 2 runs on 4 hits in top of the 2nd.
-
Last pitcher to shut out the Yanx 1 - 0 in the 'post-season'? ... Don F. Drysdale in 1963. The 'Twin D' (as Howard Cosell used to call him) shut out was (not surprisingly) a CG as he out-dueled Jim Bouton. Don't want to say it's been a while but Drysdale's been dead for 33 years.
-
After games like this I think back to all the non-baseball fans I've heard over the years who insist that low scoring baseball games are boring. They think it's boring because they think 7 - 0 (or 3 - 0) football games are boring.
-
Bellinger: Ball (ABS reversal), called strike, Ball (Unsuccessful ABS challenge by TBR), GROUND OUT TO 1B!!! ONE - ZIP Rays is your final.
-
Stanton, is his first AB since APRIL!!!!, K's swinging for out #1 Top of the order now with Ben Rice ... who Ks looking!!
-
Rays going to turn the 9th inning over to their closer Bryan Baker and his 1.44 ERA and sub-1.00 WHIP And his first batter faced is PH Giancarlo Stanton looking to tie it up with one swing.
-
WOW!!!! Austin Wells breaks up the no-hitter with a liner into the RF corner w/2 outs in the 8th ... AND GETS THROWN OUT TRYING FOR 3rd!!!!!!!
