And Salvy broke Bench’s single-season C HR record. That contract extension looks just fine.

It will never not shock me how elite athletes can’t throw a little white ball somewhat accurately from 60’.

Vlad is so god damn good. He might swipe this MVP.

Jays with a .920 TEAM OPS in September. Jeez.

Yeah....with their hitting and Ray/Berrios/Manoah they are gonna be a tough out if they can get into a 5 or 7 game series

Vladdy hit leadoff for the first time this season tonight.

Ha, my bad, At Bat cut off the box score. Noticed Dickerson in CF, figured Springer just had the night off.

Absolutely fair.

Dodgers win and can tie Giants if the Padres hold on.  A big “if”.

I feel like everyone is aware of their weaknesses in this day and age and how most pitchers will try and attack them, so not great to lose it, but not the end of the world.

[shadow_operative2.0 16319]

Wil Myers comes in on a double-switch for Profar, flubs a relatively easy play, then brings a HR back. 

Baseball, man. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16319]

SF takes the lead in top 9 on three straight bloopers. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16319]

1st & 2nd, 1 out for Manny, he's already hit 2 tonight. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16319]

Ha, 3-6-1 on a nice play by Belt to end it. Crawford almost killed his P.

Lamonte Wade Jr. clutch again. That guy is batting like .800 in the 9th inning. It's remarkable.

.632 with a 1.597 OPS.  

The really hilarious thing is that his BABIP is .917.  Pretty sure you could spend all day looking at splits across the league and not find a higher BABIP than that.

Unwritten rule #437. Do not pick up opponent’s discarded trash

Lol Javy Baez just struck out on a pitch that hit him

[shadow_operative2.0 16319]

This throw deserves the MLB thread.

Not a big deal until Toronto sent their bat boy over to retrieve it between innings and the Ray's refused to return it.

Watching the Padres is just depressing at this point. 

[Dondrysdale1 379]

Tingler is out, Boone out any other obvious changes? Girardi in philly?

[ztejas 44299]

The As are 3 games back of the 2nd wild card and there's fucking no one at their game. I'd move the team too.

Maaaaan Tatis almost just walked off the Giants after Pads were down 8-1 B7th. Sorry @Sbbruin.

[UTexasFight 9838]

Giants up 2

I’m sure this has been discussed, but forgot h2h doesn’t decide division winner, even if the other team has clinched a WC

so tie, Giants/Dodgers play Monday Oct 4 in SF.

Dodgers lose, go back home to host the Cards on Wed. Win that, head back up to SF start LDS Friday

vice versa for the Giants

Bitchass move that continues to plague baseball.  Then they act like it was an accident.

 

Bull fucking shit.  Own the fact that you are bitchass pussies throwing at people for the most idiotic of reasons.

No clue. next highest single season HR total was 13.

give him an asterisk. Only reason he’s on that list is because Ted was off killing nazis/japs (all Ted did the last season before he went off to war (‘42) was win the Triple Crown. All he did the year he got back (‘46) was win his first MVP)

(sidenote, how do you get the triple crown but not win mvp?)

The sportswriters hated him with a passion and they always lost the pennant race to the Yankees.
