also, Boston, who looks to be a lock for the playoffs (all remaining games against Baltimore and Washington), just pulled Chris Sale, B6 in a 2-2 game. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

check that, he was pulled a little while ago, and B'More has since taken a 3-2 lead.

[Helobious 9843]

Beau Vine-triggering tag by DJL in Yankees-Jays game right now. Damn it.

Edit: Umps blow the call. Fuck yeah.

Bichette called out at 3B on an attempted steal. he was safe, but the call couldn't be overturned because it was too close. huge moment here with the Jays down 3-2.

[ztejas 44319]

My personal opinion matrix has come down to - Jays make the playoffs, Vladdy MVP. If not, Shohei MVP.

I almost made a comment after his first steal about him being 25/26 on the year.

Oops.

Stanton just put away this game, and with Cole on the mound tomorrow, NYY has to be loving their chances right now. not to mention that Boston just lost to the O's.

Cardinals are gonna peak too early.

[Guadaloopy 11144]

Just dropped in to say Fuck Joe Kelly.

 

[Helobious 9843]

0-2 and to bring the tying run to the plate in the 8th inning. Totally intentional.

[kevwun 16460]

Joe Kelly was not on the 2017 Dodgers team.  He was actually playing for Boston in 2017 and 2018 who were also stealing signs.  He needs an ass beating.

It's for show and for butthurt fans. The fact that 99.9% of players don't have a problem with the Astros is a pretty big tell.

Not to delve into this yet again but saying that 99.9% of players were fine with it is an outright lie.  Many players spoke out about it being wrong and the punishment too light.

And just got the nod on the Dodgers/Padres tonight.  Clinging to hope for a division title, as slim as it is.  Need a win and a Giants loss to really have hope.

Scale of 1 to 10, how nervous are you about the Cards?

What the fuck is happening? I just wanted to watch baseball. Why is ESPN doing this to us?

Oh my God they're still talking about fucking Billie Jean King. I don't care. Fuck you ESPN. 

[Sbbruin 22149]

Scherzer 0-59 for the season. 0 walks. .000 OBP. Most futile season at the plate for a pitcher in MLB history. Never reached first all season.

Good lord this Pads bullpen.

Oh my fucking God are they actually going to blow this?

Belly!!!!!!!

[ztejas 44319]

Omg I'm dying. 4 fucking homers in 1.1 innings. 

[ztejas 44319]

You can put all the all-stars you want in the infield - if you don't have a pen you aren't doing shit. 

[ztejas 44319]

God this is just the chef's kiss on their absolute meltdown of a season. 

What a game to go to @Sbbruin

[Sbbruin 22149]

Insane in the membrane!

[Sbbruin 22149]

Close it out Big Man!

[ztejas 44319]

San Diego seems totally checked out. Kind of depressing.

What a comeback. Probably won't catch the Giants but you can at least have some nice momentum going into the WC. 

[Chuckie Finster 23113]

Remember that hour when everyone thought the Padres were getting Scherzer? What an insane tumble since then.

I don't get it

[Helobious 9843]

It is kinda funny that maybe the greatest hitting pitcher ever currently plays in the AL. Tough pill to swallow for the anti-DHers. If there’s a freak that can hit/pitch well they’ll get that chance. I don’t know that there’s much entertainment value added in watching 8 guys hit & 1 guy being an automatic out every game.

[Helobious 9843]

Astros fans love to pretend that they’re everyone’s favorite team & that everyone loves them. They’ll blatantly ignore all of the social media world celebrating their playoff exits & the fact that pretty much every star player condemned their actions. Trout, Harper, Scherzer, Judge, Bryant, Betts, etc
