Dude doesn’t age. 

 

I remember in 2002 when Mike Cameron hit 4 HR against the White Sox, in his first 4 AB.  In his 5th AB, hew flew out to the warning track.

Haven't heard that name in a long time. Pretty good OF'er though.

I do not think it is a stretch to day that Wilkerson's save is the most improbable occurence so far this season. The speed limit in most of New York is 55 and he didn't even hit that on the radar gun. He now gets to say for the rest of his life that he got a first ballot Hall of Famer out. Stuff like that is why baseball is such a fun sport. 

the video is incredible.

sticking to this bit the whole inning has to be tough for a professional athlete.  at some point you'd want to rare back and fire one in.  but it worked.

Deadspin is my favorite website. You see that pitch and I think you might be not very happy.

That's a fun list.

[Beau Vine 55,893]

Mookie doubled.

[spystud13 2,371]

Lieberthal had a career bWAR of 15.3, probably would have taken the under. 

[Scraps 13,812]

Roid years were so much fun

[TheFlagship 466]

Adam Eaton just had one of the ABs of the year and singles to tie it in DC. Worked an 11 pitch AB against Ryu

[Goo Punch 4,275]

The Twins have hit 200 HR in a season five times in their history. Well, six after today. 

[spystud13 2,371]

Hey soos. 

 

 

[Goo Punch 4,275]

that's insane.

[spystud13 2,371]

That’s no Tim Beckham play, I know that. 

[TheFlagship 466]

Unreal choke here by the Rays against one of the worst teams in the AL. Not a playoff team

[youdunnf'dup 2,147]

It appears as if now is the wrong time to play the Red Sox lol. Jesus Christ 

[InkaUtexas 26,963]

yeah, I guess you have more faith in the bull pen than I do. 

 

[TheFlagship 466]

Teoscar walks it off. The Jays were down 6-1 after 2 innings...

Fuck yeah, 3 wins vs. the Yanks. I know, it does not matter and the yanks are in first but it does to me. Oh, and judge went 0-5.

I mean, it definitely matters. Especially with how the Rays are going right now. Pretty sure the last team any wildcard team would want to face is Boston with Sale on the mound in an elimination game.

double post.

Flip over to the Phillies-Braves game just for the uniforms.  Fucking glorious.

[TheFlagship 466]

I feel like we are reaching a point where there 5 teams in each league that are clear above the rest.

AL: Astros, Yankees, Red Sox, Twins, Indians

NL: Dodgers, Braves, Cubs, Nationals, Cardinals

The trade deadline could change things (and this is baseball, weird shit could happen), but I think this is the top 10

I wouldn't count out the A's, but other than that, yeah.  The Nats seem like a much better team than the Phillies or Brewers despite only being 0.5 ahead. 

[TheFlagship 466]

Holy shit Goldy

[Goo Punch 4,275]

anybody heard from Paul Goldschmidt lately? what's he been up to?

I was messing with Heliobus who was talking about how the first shellacking did not matter.

Trying to measure up to Luke Voit.

More like lol Kimbrel

Wrong thread

[UTexasFight 9,819]

Even the worst team in baseball is doing (good) things that have never been done before

[spystud13 2,371]

The Tigers would beg to differ. Saw earlier they are 12-50 in last 62. 

[spystud13 2,371]

1st & 3rd, 1 out in bot 9, LAA down 8-7 to Balt on MLBN, some Trout guy up. 

[spystud13 2,371]

Trout Ks, runner steals 2nd, Shohei up. 

 

They walked him, J-Up’s turn. 

Edited July 28, 2019 by spystud13

[spystud13 2,371]

Popped it up, Balt survives. 

[TheFlagship 466]

Kimbrel has allowed 4 homers and 8 walks in 10.2 innings. Terrific signing.

[Goo Punch 4,275]

Aaron Sanchez, who has been awful this year (6.06 era, 1.72 whip) has six up, six down with six k's and is looking electric. so make sense of that. 

[TheFlagship 466]

Sogard goes to TB. Thought he would’ve been a good fit on the cubs.

[Goo Punch 4,275]

kyle schwarber just annihilated a ball off of Zach Davies. The ball seemed to land in about 3.5 seconds despite almost clearing the second deck. what a shot. 

edit: 473 feet, 114 mph exit velo, 23 degree launch angle

[shnsajax 3,607]

He had an oppo 3 run shot in the 4th as well. So at least 2 more ab’s to get three.

I feel like if it was going to happen, it would’ve happened yesterday on the spot. They’re in a wildcard hunt. If they were going to brawl to defend their guy, I feel like it would’ve happened right then and there. Not after the fact where they’d probably have to initiate it and risk suspensions.
