Kid batting is probably the Kelly Leak of the neighborhood too.

You guys talking about Kelly Leak? That dude is a bad mother. You talk about a loan shark. I borrowed a nickel from him last week. He said if I didn't give him a dime by Friday, he'd break my arm

How is that a double and not an error?  Can you not give errors for shitty tags?

[Beau Vine 54835]

Eat a dick, Ryan Braun.  MIL loses.

[WBT 20735]

I didn't realize Castellanos was up that high in doubles.  No one has hit 60+ since 1936.

It's sad watching the shell of what is left of him play. Watching him and CC go at it one final time was bittersweet. Hard to see the older guys at the end of the line knowing that their mind is still sharp, but their body just is not.

No one was talking about it til this week.

Kenley blows another one.  He's 30 of 38 on the year.  6-6 going to the bottom of the 9th 

[UTexasFight 9603]

 

Well, 4 of the Angels final 11 games will have Verlander and Cole starting against them. So he’s got that going for him to try and finish 2019 above .300

I think he’s batted about 400 against the Astros in his career.  

[WBT 20735]

.286

His counting stats are all highest against Houston because they moved to the AL West about the same time, but his rate stats have dropped just like his overall stats.

Yeah 2012 was the only year Pooholes and the Stros weren't in the same division...  If you throw out the Cardinals (who never had to face him when he was badass) and Angels (who never got to face him as he was winding down) then the Astros are 17th of 28 in terms of teams he's torn up.

Wonder what Luhnow will offer?

Well, he didn’t use a gun, so the Yankees probably won’t sign him as a free agent.

Aww, that's a shame...

If guilty, German should face extremely harsh penalties, maybe even criminal charges. A thorough investigation should take at least until early November or the day after the World Series ends to complete. At that point his punishment should be handed down. 

In the meantime making him pitch should be punishment enough. Think about the damage he’s doing to his shoulder with each throw.

He sucks anyway.  I guess he’s your “ace”?

[TonyTexas 10567]

Apparently happened at a big black tie charity event hosted by Sabathia. What a dumb ass.

Let's not jump to conclusions here. For all we know, it was a backhanded compliment. 

[Helobious 9503]

Lulz at any Astros fan trying to take any moral high ground here.

Damn, Domingo, that's a heretofore uncharted level of stupid.  

[Beau Vine 54835]

If the Yankees have any pride, they'll cut him immediately. 

Or trade him to the Astros for prospects.

If he did what was reported his ass needs to be shipped out on a rail and never heard from again. What a pathetic bitch move on his part to do that.

Kole Calhoun looks like a damn Hobbit. That is one weird looking guy. He did just smoke a homer to right center so he has that going for him.

I do like that the Yankees are making fun of Gardy's dugout destroying antics. He hit a homer and they have him on the jumbotron trying to beat it with his bat. 

[UpperWestside 6216]

Andrew Heaney is definitely making a blooper reel for whatever the heck that throw was. He completely lost control of the baseball. Looked like when Josh Reddick flubbed a throw here earlier in the season.

When did Fox mothership start showing Thursday night games?

Chapman was throwing gas to end that. 102,102 and 101 on three of the last four to Pujols. 

[WBT 20735]

Cubs score 3 in the bottom of the 9th to tie it and Kimbrel immediately gives up a HR in the top of the 10th.  What a disaster he's been.  Why won't anyone sign him?  Collusion!!11!11!!

I'm hoping the Cubs will take 3 out of 4 just so the NL central/wildcard goes down to next Saturday or Sunday.

this is an unbelievable catch. Vladdy smoked that ball, and he knew it was gone. As far as degree of difficulty goes this is up there with any catch i've seen this season in center field.

Fuck. Yeah it’s the right thing to do I guess, but fuck.

This stuff is now online for all players for the last 5 years, so I'm going to blow my entire day here:

It's amazing how much of some batters' value they quantify as coming from not swinging at bad pitches, taking walks and avoiding weak contact.  Ted Williams's severed head would be so happy with this.
