Two more HRs from Judge, now 17 in just over a 1/4 season (43 games). But the Yanx lose at home to Bal'mer, their 3rd straight loss after the DH sweep vs CHW yesterday.

IF hits R us. -

Really smacking the ball this inning, eh?

Luis Guillorme Has a Thread Coming to Him
Frayed Knot replied to Edgy MD's topic in New York Mets Talk
There's another alternative as to what to do with Luis ... as in we were wondering what it would take to pry away a pitcher off someone's roster. Not by himself probably, but including him might be seen as a case of selling high and would lessen the quality of prospect being sent away. -
I'd have an easier time accepting "Donaldson's role in the bench clearing" if Anderson & Grandal weren't being treated as if passive bystanders in the whole thing, as if their roles were somehow a non-factor. All of which points me to a conclusion this is punishment really about the words -- one name really -- with the rest of it being used as fodder to pretend that it isn't. Teasing with malice aforethought, oh the humanity!

In NL East action this week * Phils & Braves -- currently dead even in 2nd place at 19-22, 8 games out -- hook up for three in Atlanta to start the week. Wheeler and the Phightins jumped out early and are currently cruising with a 7-1 lead in the 7th * Nats are hosting the Dodgers and are wishing they weren't. 10-0 LAD in the 8th * Marlins have a two game set with Tampa Bay on Tuesday & Wednesday

I would characterize that as a poorly described, inaccurate, and incomplete summary. Me: a one game suspension for being disrespectful MLB: Mr. Donaldson's ... comment he directed toward Mr. Anderson was disrespectful and in poor judgment, particularly when viewed in the context of their prior interactions. I'd call it an almost verbatim summary "In addition, Mr. Donaldson's remark was a contributing factor in a bench-clearing incident between the teams, and warrants discipline." I'd cite Anderson's reaction to the comments -- way fuckin' over the top IMO -- as the bigger instigating factor. Donaldson was pushing buttons and Anderson took the bait. BFD! Play Ball.
-
I don't believe for a moment that what Donaldson said, essentially teasing Anderson for a prior claim to be the "New Jackie", is "mocking black guys" and it certainly is generalizing anyone. Unless of course you have some sort of info that he calls everyone with dark skin 'Jackie' at which point I may be forced to re-evaluate my stance.

Trevor Story (BOS) and Sandy Alcantara (MIA) are ML players of the week Story got a big deal from Boston so he could assault the Grern Monster, yet had one HR to show for it coming into this past week. Now he had seven. Alcantara threw 17 innings in two starts (vs WAS & ATL) and allowed a total of 1 ER on 9 hits.
-
"Only" one game for "being disrespectful". MLB apparently outlawing bench-jockeying these days.
-
FINALLY!! on their 11th & 12th hits of the game, the South-Siders notch their first and second runs with 2 outs in top 8th. And now Tim Anderson gets the last word w/a 3R HR off Miguel Castro and it's suddenly 5-0 Michael Kopech for the Pale Hose was perfect into the 7th. Yanx have 2 BBs and a single thru 7
-
ChiSuxx load the bases with no outs and don't come close to scoring: two force outs at home then a K. Couldn't get the ball past the pitcher's mound.

Wake up there's a game to in-thread 5/22 @ COL
Frayed Knot replied to Johnny Lunchbucket's topic in Archived Game Threads
Good game, good series. Yeah, game 2 Saturday sukked but the diff came down to their reliever giving them 2+ of shutout ball where as our guy, Medina, was screwing the pooch. It happens. In the other two games we held the oppo to 1 run over 18 innings in Coors Field with, y'know, those two guys unavailable. -
Somebody pointed out in one of the papers today that Aroldis is an anagram for Rolaids. ESPN has thus far shown about 50% of tonight's SNB game (Yanx hosting CHW) on a split screen while interviews and whatnot command the majority of screen time. Once again, ESPN doesn't think we tuned in to watch baseball, they think we tuned in to watch ESPN. The ChiSox have had their share of injuries to some of their promising young stars, but they also seem like one of those teams that is perpetually two years away from being two years away. iow, they still kinda suck

=Marshmallowmilkshake post_id=93053 time=1653171972 user_id=119] So I was driving today and had time to listen to the rest of John Denver's Greatest Hits. You are spot on that the orchestration piled on the mix didn't help the songs.
-
Four run leads aren't necessary drama free at Cape Coors. This one turned out to be but Buck went with Lugo for a second inning (plus Otto & Dr. Smith) and used a pinch runner in the 9th and gave up his DH all in an effort to put things out of Game-Tying Grand Slam range. Not all all of that and maybe none of that happens in a 5-1 game Not being played in the Rocky Mountain highlands.

While we were bitching about the snow-out and analyzing John Denver's career, ... the Braves won, Marlins list (to the Braves) Phils list, Nats lost so the night could have been worse. At least now I'll get to see this game ... at least the first one. Orioles & Rays managed to go 13 innings last night, not an easy thing to do with the ghost runner rules. Both scored two in the 10th, then once each in the 11th, then put up zeros in the 12th. O's won in bottom 13 on a 2R HR. That makes it two consecutive walk-off HR wins for them.

Considering that Colorado was on the forefront of Marijuana legislation, they should put the lyrics back in.

My older sister was a fan so I remember at least some of that Denver stuff as it happened.

As if on cue, the Braves are in Miami this weekend and are currently up 5-1 midway thru the 6th. Charlie Morton vs Trevor Rogers. HRs from Ozuna & d'Arnaud. Second meeting of the teams this year w/the Marlins taking 2 of 3 right about a month ago. Miami sits 1/2 game ahead of Atlanta coming into the night. Marlins are a shade ahead of the Mets for 2nd place in NL team ERA (LAD = 1st) with the main difference being that all their starters are between 24 & 27 y/o. oe: and now it's 5-3 as Jorge Soler goes yard w/a man on.

Denver -- Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. -- assumed the mantle left for him by Glen Campbell, that of a good musician with the cleaned-up, country-boy image that allowed them both to get onto network TV and ultimately into the movies but at the same time robbed them of any degree of hipness which in turn kept many from recognizing their musicianship. I remember when Denver released a Greatest Hits album he didn't just repackage the songs but re-recorded at least some of them because, as he explained in the liner notes, he felt he had grown as a singer in the time since their initial release. Left unsaid was that he probably wanted to change some of the production trends and techniques as well, not that he'd be the only artist to want to alter his own recordings after the fact. 'Thank God I'm a Country Boy', like 'Rhinestone Cowboy' for Campbell, wound up sounding partly like a parody and partly like a Wikipedia entry.
