So not only do we have zero chance of losing today but Philly and Miami get trounced earlier (6-1 and 14-4) and Atlanta is currently down 10-5 to StL in the 7th. So, we've got that going for us.
That's looking like, maybe, their Atlantic City casino greeter days. Both recently retired and taking money to act as greeters/celebs for A.C. gamblers. Bowie Kuhn didn't like it and they were banned for working within MLB unless and until they cut ties with the casinos and those who ran them.
How times have changed.
Unless it happens to LF in Fenway, or sometimes Yanqui Stadium RF. And Staub was considerably faster much less slow compared to Kirk, at least on a same-age basis.
Before we get too nostalgic for a future that hasn't happened yet, do keep in mind that Sproat has a 5.28 ERA and a higher walk rate than Peralta, and Jett Williams is hitting .223 in AAA
Gary referencing, but not detailing, the ejections of Willson Contreras of Nats pitcher Cade Cavalli on Tuesday based on Cavalli "saying something he shouldn't have said". That something was "Sit down, boy" following a K of Contreras.
Neither team scored in the 10th, then the Tigers put up a four-spot in top 11 so 6-2 is your final.
That's a sweep for the Tigers right after a four-game sweep by the BoSox. So seven straight losses for the Yanx in which they've scored a total of 15 (non-ghost runner) runs. They had a two game lead in the AL East when the streak started and are 3.5 out now and could be 4 out later tonight.
So might not having an OPS with runners on that's not 270 points beneath his bases empty mark or a RiSP mark that's not 410 points below.
Or, put another way, 42% of his PAs have been w/runners on but those yielded only 31% of his hits and 28% of his Total Bases
Mets are 7 for their last 65 with RiSP (8 games including tonight so far) for a .108 BA And considering how many 1-run games they've been involved in (last four losses for instance) even managing a lousy BA, like say .208 (13 or 14 hits instead of 7) might have won them two or three games just in this stretch alone.
Sustaining a run like this should be nearly impossible but this team manages to invent as many ways to suppress scoring as FIFA referees do.
