How close is he to the record? 

[Scraps 13570]

Lou Brock died

[shadow_operative2.0 16011]

Right hip strain for Matt Chapman, could be rather big. 

[Sbbruin 21865]

Corey Seager just hit his 10th and 11th.  And he may be our 4th best player.  The Dodgers are so far ahead of everyone else.  And yes, I know we hav failed miserably,  but we do have the best team now.

[shadow_operative2.0 16011]

+99 run differential is pretty sick. 

Rangers are only -68, dead-ass last. 

[Sbbruin 21865]

Dodgers lost their first series of the season.

[Helobious 9464]

Not joking, for some reason I had a dream last night that the Dodgers lost in the first round of the playoffs. I’m bookmarking this post to see if I’m a mystic.

[Beau Vine 54319]

What a coincidence. I had a dream the yankees got swept by the orioles & are now in 3rd place.

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

Apparently Dee Strange-Gordon just got married. That really threw me off when I saw that.

[shadow_operative2.0 16011]

Nope.

The Yankees had a rough 6th inning today...

[WBT 20643]

10 runs, 5 hits, 4 walks, 1 error culminating in a grand slam, all before the 2nd out was recorded.  But you know what they say, those HRs can be rally killers.  After the grand slam, the next two were retired in order to end the inning.

[Helobious 9464]

I fucking hate baseball. If the Yankees miss the playoffs heads will roll. Or at least should roll.

[shadow_operative2.0 16011]

 

Broken. Way to fuck up your first decent season in SD, stupid fuck. Mitch trade looks good though.

Kris Bryant is the only player in baseball history to win college player of the year, Minors POY, MLB ROY, and MLB MVP, and he did all of that in a span of four consecutive years. KB was supposed to be the Bird to Mike Trout's Magic, and now he's...garbage. He probably shouldn't even be an every day player on a good team. He has the fifth worst OPS in baseball and is batting .108 on breaking pitches. WTF happened here?

1.  All I know is that even the best hitters can't hit worth shit if they have hand/wrist injuries.

2.  Remember the furor when they delayed calling him up to manipulate his free agency clock?  Do they even tender him next season now?

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

Are the Yankees ever going to win again?

Chris Davis began this year with a .152/.173/.184 slash and no homers in 52 trips to the plate before landing on the shelf with a left knee injury.

Noted offensive juggernaut Jose Iglesias’ BA is higher than CD’s OPS, yikes. 

[Beau Vine 54319]

The Yankees are 21-21. So are the Giants.

[shadow_operative2.0 16011]

Marlins are 19-18. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

Teoscar Hernandez was quietly having an MVP-type year. Really sucks that he's probably done for the year. Jays have been hit hard between losing him and Bichette. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16011]

Rowdy hurt himself tonight too, he was hot. 

[Beau Vine 54319]

Marlins are 19-18. 

I suck at math...is that better than the Yankees?

[Beau Vine 54319]

The Yankees are 21-21. So are the Giants.

Update: The Giants just won, so I believe that means they have a better record than the Yankees. Someone please check my math and confirm!

[shadow_operative2.0 16011]

Holy fuck, please tell me someone else is watching LAD/Ari on MLBN?! What a fucking idiotic play. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16011]

Welp, it’s 10-6 now, drive home safely.

while a good play, there is no way that is one of the best throws you have ever seen 

[InkaUtexas 26017]

19-0.... Poor tigers.

Sometimes I get confused on which one is Derka and which one is spystud, but not that time.

I have the minnow.

The Yankees won tonight.

Well a rough 5 innings. Scoreless first. 
 

swanson is the only starter without an rbi but he has scored 4 times in 5 PAs ...in 6 innings. 
 

25 runs on 19 hits is efficient offense. 5 braves have homered.

Glad I took the over on +/- 37.5 runs.

random thought(s): i want to see a hitter do something like two 3-HR games in one series or something. that would be cool. is there a place to go to look up stats like that? like "fewest days between 3-HR games" or something like that.

shouts out Adam Duvall. 

[WBT 20643]

29-9.  One more inning to go for 30

[WBT 20643]

Lame, Braves go down scoreless in the 8th

[McCroskey 1505]

Bet the Nationals heavy tomorrow night.

For me it's Williams's changeup. It's basically an unhittable screwball. It's been put into play *once* this year, a groundout by Francisco Lindor. It's Pedro levels of nasty.

Bryse Wilson recorded a 4-inning save for the Braves in that 29-9 game tonight

[shadow_operative2.0 16011]

There was a 3-inning one in the 30-3 game too.

I don’t think there is a single reliever on the Astros that could pull that off right now 

[UTexasFight 9517]

Braves, Brewers and Giants - 58

Marlins, Tigers and Mariners - 9

According to STATS, Duvall is the first player in history to homer with one man on, two men on and the bases loaded, in that order, in a game. He is also just the second player in NL history to have two three-homer games within 10 days of each other, joining the Cardinals' Johnny Mize who accomplished the feat on July 13 and 20, 1938. Duvall is also the first player in the Majors to ever have two such games in the same September.

[Brew 3049]

Someone needs to ask all the whiny bitches from a few weeks ago what the actual difference between Duvall’s GS up 25-9 on a 1-0 and Tatis’ on a 3-0 really is.

This might be the last straw for West. Even his fellow umpires and union representatives  have to be embarrassed. What a joke of a person. 

I don't disagree with any of the Joe West hate from anyone. But Hunter Wendelstet initiated this bullshit
