    So McNeil has now officially got to be tabbed as Rocket J. Squirrel after that act. Nice that he's the first (AFAIK) to take advantage of the new stadium configurations. A 'Net Gem'? Not sure that ball is catchable otherwise. Or, if he did make the catch sans net, we'd be holding our breaths while listening to Mickey in the post-game presser saying; "We'll know more when we get the X-Ray results".

    Bader is one of those 'fun to watch' guys (think young Eric Byrnes) but that helps to cover up that he's not so good sometimes.

    Do you dare Familia to close it out? Not sure if Diaz is available (or that you'd want him after last night). Ditto Lugo who pitched last night and Gsellman who threw two innings. So if not Fammy ... Bashlor? Meanwhile, 26 pitches from Colome almost certainly keeps him out of tomorrow's DGANG

    NOW you HAVE to run for Ramos ... and he does

    You can see the mark where the ball hit, but you still can't tell if it was fair or foul I thought it was fair in real time but I don't think you can overturn it based on the video. ... and they don't.

    And another low-scoring game is about to go over the 3 hour mark

    In 1,838 career ABs -- right about three full seasons' worth spread across four years -- the ChiSox SS Tim Anderson 'walk rate' [OBA - BA] is a stunningly low .028 (63 career walks). Take out the 11 HBPs and it gets even lower. Last season was his best ever and even that was just .041, barely more than half of a normal league average (.070 or so) I'm trying to think of extreme free-swingers of the past to see if I can find one even close to that low. My first thought of Tony Pena yields .049. Pudge checks in at .038

    I think they probably had time to go to 1st and then still get Cano jogging towards 2nd. Still no hits w/RiSP 1 for 20 in this series

    Just what deGrom didn't need, two outs on four pitches right on the heels of his lengthy bottom 3rd. And now the side is out on 8 pitches

    I was hoping that the last thing Greinke did in an Arizona uni was beat the Yanx. He left today's game during a rain delay up 3-2 but the Yanx just went ahead in the bottom of the 7th 4-3 MFY, bottom 8 Braves closed it out. No apparent arrests in CIN/PIT this afternoon.

    Zack Greinke: #3 starter in post-season for Houston

    Last minute deals being tossed over the transom Mike Leake (SEA) to the DBacks Sherman (although consider the hack/source): Blue Jay Aaron Sanchez to Astros ANNNNNND ... Zack Greinke to the Astos!!! (Rosenthal - but, you know)

    Even a broken fan is right twice a day y'know. Wait, what?

    Braves pen coughs up 1 in the 8th then 2 more in the 9th to tie the game Braves take lead in top 10 (Donaldson HR). Josh Tomlin trying to close it out (1 out / 2 on) On a not unrelated note, Braves are said to be on the verge of acquiring ex-Yank/current-Tiger reliever Shane Greene But that won't help them today.

    Heyman: 'Doesn't seem like' Edwin Diaz is going to be traded. Rays, Yanx, Astros in on talks for Wheeler Ceetar: Heyman [or insert any other name] is a hack

Just 2 HRs for Wilmer this year although in only 146 ABs due to -- say it with me folks -- ill-timed injuries. 34 games at 2B for WF this season; 13 more at 1B. 33 games started out of 108 Missed two months from mid-May to mid-July

Shame. Can Lowrie, if and when he does show his face, actually be considered "back" seeing as how he was never really here in the first place?
