19-4. We mostly stopped paying attention to the game after the 1st, but this is pretty funny to watch in-person. 

Not every day EVERY starter has a multi-hit game.

I’m sure Stark or somebody will enlighten soon on the last time that’s happened.

LMFAO

[UTexasFight 9607]

Schwarber and Correa each got their 100th HR tonight

They debuted a week apart in 2015. Kinda crazy


(Although took schwarber a lot fewer games and ABs.)

[UTexasFight 9607]

Astros/A’s is stupid.

1 out in the 8th, 9 combined HRs, 12 total runs

 

 

Edit: 10 HRs, 7-6 with no outs in the bottom of the 8th.

4 guys each have 2 HRs

It was incredible to watch. Everyone got shelled. The Indians looked like the '27 Yankees out there.

Not even the most surprising of the week.  Have you already forgotten the Orioles beating Verlander?

They beat Osuna, dumbass.

Just messing with you... Verlander was ass compared to his normal standards in that game.

It was because lefties are hitting .193/.276/.239 vs Holland this year and Maddon can’t help but play musical chairs with the bullpen every night.

Sometimes you have to put the numbers away and say, "That's Derek Holland."

Even if Holland got him out he would have brought in a new pitcher to face the next hitter as well. I mean the Cubs are up 5-1 in the ninth and rather than letting Strop come in with a clean inning he tries to push a guy into his second inning. Only to bring Strop into a high leverage situation needing multiple outs which he has always sucked at.

Up by 8 and swinging at a 3-0 pitch is seen as a shitty move. The baseball purists would say to take a strike.

If I'm a pitcher, I'd consider the guy swinging at 3-0 to be a gift.

He's *great* at both defense and baserunning.  He's just awful at the most important trick.  

There has to be some team smart enough to figure out that he can be more valuable than the 8th reliever in the bullpen.

Not in the postseason... no idea his contract situation but some playoff contender will swipe him up if he falls that far in waivers

The Yankees already traded for Terrance Gore to fill this role.  I'm surprised the Royals couldn't find anyone to trade for Hamilton at the deadline.

I don't understand why these guys need to pretend to be baseball players all year.  Why not just show up in October every year?

No doubt. His speed is incredible and he can cover center like few guys can with those wheels. It's too bad he never figured out how to consistently hit major league pitching.

That streak is pretty cool. You can look across the spectrum of North American pro sports and find major market teams like the Knicks, Lakers, Mets, Jets, Cowboys and Red Sox, among others, who eventually fall flat on their face at some point (Some just continually suck). To keep being competitive every single year is a pretty damned impressive feat.

we got a crazy one going on in the desert. three bombs and five runs in the bottom of the 8th for Dbacks has them tied 7-7 with SF. Both teams are 61-61.

Dodgers set an MLB record of 22 HRs in 5 games.  This team is nasty.

2-run HR top 10 gives SF the lead, Dbacks answer with 2 HR of their own. Tied 9-9 going into the 11th.

Gardner, Boone, & CC all just got ejected at the same time for doing nothing. Fucking power-tripping umps.

[Pato del Muerto 52878]

Super chill Brett Gardner just got tossed again. Plus Boone and sebathia. From the dugout, by the 1b ump. 

Because bitching about a maybin K. 

Then he beats up the dugout roof again.

I like this version of Gardy. MLB umps are terrible at their job. I could do without him beating the shit out of the dugout ceiling for no reason, but he and Boone are showing some fire much more often which is cool.

Gardner is a fucking tool who acts like a 4 year old throwing a tantrum.

Don't say he was doing nothing, because he was banging on the dugout roof again.

They need to model citizen his ass...and hope that he grows the fuck up some day.

Yankees think they can whine, bitch, and cry about young umps...hell the one in July that tossed Gardner was older than  Gardy.

 

Cry-fucking-babies all the way.

Crazy game in Washington

Brewers down three in the 9th.

Yelich, Moose and Braun all homer off Doolittle to give them a 12-11 lead

Harder can’t close the door. 12-12

 

13th inning, Yelich gets his 41st.

Nats tie it again in the bottom of the inning

 

 

...and the Nats mascot has pajamas on

Seems like a real waterhead:

"Kinda crazy to be honest," Gardner said. "Got ejected for hitting the top of the dugout with my bat, making too much noise I guess. I wasn't happy about it, I didn't feel like what I did warranted an ejection."
