2017 MLB Regular Season Thread - Part 6

[hockeykicker]

Nationals and Giants about to mess up the MLB season

Rained out tonight, likely won't play tomorrow with rain all day and try and do a doubleheader Sunday and probably may or may not have to makeup last game after last day of season

 

[robert terwilliger]

i can't even begin to express how disappointed i am in them being such big cry babies over this.

the worst is the "need a front-line starting pitcher" like...uh guys? there aren't any. i'm not paying an arm and a leg for 10 starts from darvish and gray really isn't distinguishable from what they already have.

the astros are acting like a bunch of kids who have a plate full of food and are pissed off because their parents won't get them dessert. **** off.

 

[robert terwilliger]

addison reed really mets-ing up here.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Reed making a mess of things for the Sox in the Bronx...

That was scary, robert.

 

[robert terwilliger]

mine had a pun in it and was therefore better

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

Don't know what's more embarrassing. Giving up 10 runs in 4 innings to the Reds or only managing 2 in 5 innings against Homer Bailey.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

First major league homer for Amed Rosario! And well-timed, too, gives the Mets a 7-6 lead in the 9th.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Frazier comes through. 4-3 Yanks.

 

[robert terwilliger]

too bad you can't bring your closer in in the eighth inning.

Maybe not Gray/Darvish, but Lance Lynn would have been a decent add.

 

[satbank]

Abad in lol incoming Grand Slam.

I'm surprise I'm wrong.

 

[robert terwilliger]

Maybe not Gray/Darvish, but Lance Lynn would have been a decent add.

at what cost though? sounds like the cardinals set a pretty steep price on him.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Royals about to lose to the suddenly red hot White Sox with Duffy starting the game.

Man, the Twins may really grab this 2nd WC spot....

If not them, the Angels with their patchwork rotation of which I have trouble naming more than 3 pitchers (Skaggs, Ramirez, Nolasco...?)

 

[satbank]

I don't expect anything but wow Chapman not doing good.

 

[satbank]

The **** was that, that was dumb.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

The Red Sox have to be the dumbest baserunning team in the league.

 

[Oscar Acosta]

Chapman man... guy is going full Steve Dalkowski lately. Get nervous the moment he hits the field.

 

[robert terwilliger]

sheehan has been on the naysayers w/r/t the astros talking about how the team itself is fine and that adding a big piece doesn't even make them a sure thing. he brought up verlander in his latest third third preview (his newsletter is one of the best things i pay money for and you're reading the words of a man who gets pedicures)

There is simply no formula. Justin Verlander? The last time Verlander was on a playoff team he was in a rotation with David Price and Max Scherzer. The fourth starter? The fourth starter didn’t matter, because the Tigers were eliminated in three games by Chris Tillman, Bud Norris, and Wei-Yin Chen.

Holy crap, just looked that guy up. His minor league stats are mind blowing. Some years he averaged 2 walks per inning AND nearly 2 strikeouts per inning!

 

[KaylaJ]

good lord Rich Hill just took one way too high, went straight to the ground. he got up and went to 1st, that looked scary. his neck is all red


Astros try, but still fail, 6-4

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

Ricky Nolasco doing his best to keep the Angels out of a wild card spot. Just gave up his 30th long ball of the year

 

[c9777666]

The Astros have fallen and we're waiting for them to get up.

Better effort tonight, but....... They are just tempting the Angels/Mariners to make things interesting in that division. I mean, is this gonna get into a single digit division lead before September?

Seattle..... OK, so Felix and Paxton are on the DL, but their bats have carried them since the break.

They have the best record in the AL since the break.

Hear those footsteps, Houston? They're getting louder and louder everyday

 

[Halladay]

Cole was awesome tonight, 2nd straight start he has been.

 

[c9777666]

Bengals 11, Packers 10

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Jed Lowrie leads the majors in doubles.

Someone needs to overpay for him now!
