Completely illegitimate. The last two have barely cleared the RF wall at Yankee Stadium.

No telling how many more he’s hit there that shouldn’t count

Giancarlo just went 3-run dead center off the end of the bat. 

[Scraps 13,799]

Jason Heyward still has a little life in his bat.  Nice.

And DFA'd

[Helobious 9,818]

Judge is going bananas. 3 homers in like his last 5 at bats. He has 34 games left to hit 12 homers and become the 3rd player ever with multiple 60 homer seasons. The other 2 being McGwire & Sosa.

For Chris Taylor, ouch. Roberts was pumped as hell after that bomb too. 

[UTexasFight 9,816]

Damn.

kwan singled on the 2nd pitch of the game.

Cleveland’s only hit of the game 

[Gil Bang 26,235]

Angels extend their fuckwad GM Minasian. 

[petscii 1,195]

Well, next year Dan Wilson will have that experience as a manager to get the Washington Huskies head coaching job...   🙄

Seems like they did it because Taylor has one year and $14 mil left.  He's a much more versatile defender than Heyward, but a worse bat.  Heyward is a great locker room guy by all accounts too.  I would have preferred Heyward over Taylor by a mile.  At least we're at a point that we are getting all of our players back healthy, creating this logjam.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,260]

They could have kept Taylor 'injured' for 9 more days, then he could have been the 14th position player.

Yeah, I thought the same thing.  But I think they are saving a spot for Pages, but I'd rather have Heyward.

And you can throw Yamamoto in there too.  Although he has 6 wins himself.

The best part is that he will be catching for an AB that he started as the batter.

Only thing better would be if he had an 0-2 count and the pinch hitter completes the strikeout. If that had happened he would have gotten the K for the at-bat and the putout as the catcher. He would have technically put himself out.  

[Scraps 13,799]

 

And moved to BP

[Scraps 13,799]

Judge hit 49

[Helobious 9,818]

[Derka 6,403]

yeah but just imagine what luke voit would be doing with all of those ab’s.

I mean, fuck, I called my own pitches one season when I was 14 and couldn't believe that no one picked up on it.  Seems impossible that no one picked up on Maddux.

Sweet thanks.

reminder for those that may not have a cable or streaming package with MLBN but do have a mlb.tv subscription, MLB Network is now available as part of the latter

[Helobious 9,818]

Nothing like an inside the parker that ends with a play at the plate. He was flying.

[Gil Bang 26,235]

Shohei 39/40

[shadow_operative2.0 16,260]

Bad baserunning there, make him make that throw home. 

[Derka 6,403]

 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,260]

Shohei up, tied, loaded, 2 outs in bot 9. 

Fucking salami, damn. 

Edited August 24 by shadow_operative2.0

[Derka 6,403]

walk off grand slam to get his 40/40. unreal. 

[UTexasFight 9,816]

Holy shit Shohei!!!!

I know you gotta come at him but that for your first pitch?!

[Derka 6,403]

the hr hit a fan right in his glove and he blew it. guy should never go to another game the rest of his life.

[UTexasFight 9,816]

Seattle 6 straight singles to start the bottom of the 8th leads to 4 runs and tie game vs SF

just found out all three of these came in the first inning. unreal. sadly this will probably be the highlight of the a’s final season in oakland.

Edited August 24 by Derka

[shadow_operative2.0 16,260]

Wilson probably should have used Moore to hit for Rojas there instead of running for Turner. 

Ha, then he steals right after. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,260]

He stayed on the bag, let’s go.

Sea walks it off.

dave roberts gets shit on a lot, and usually deservedly so, but i doubt very many other managers would have let shohei run like this. in fact i’d guess that almost none of them would. in fact major managers already don’t have their teams running enough to begin with. add to that how big of a factor that fear is when dealing with star players like shohei, and you’ve got to top your cap for roberts on this one.

But it’s win it all or he’s done I think.  This team is set up for a title run.  We just need our arms to be healthy.  Man if only we had his arm as well.

I’m guessing that’s tongue in cheek, but they have had to wrestle with an ungodly number of injuries and have the best record in baseball.  Now in the playoffs?  We’ll….
