2018 MLB Regular Season Thread II

Orioles beat the Yankees again. Wow.

Red Sox up 3 and a half now.

As for the Braves...they also had a 3 game set at NYY and 4 gamer at MIL. That was a tough stretch...

It's like the Orioles only give a damn when they play the Yankees. They didn't even bother showing up in Minnesota this past weekend.

Braves have turned into a complete dumpster fire other than the Cardinals series sweep. They need lots of help if they even want to make it as a wild card team. Can't keep relying on other teams injuries/mediocre play to make it. But I also hope they don't do anything too drastic. We're a bit ahead of schedule in the rebuild but we still need as much talent on the farm as possible.

Yeah, I wouldn't trade any of those younger guys (Gohara, Riley, etc.) to try to make a run.

Indians with an epic 9th inning meltdown. Wow.

Some closers just blow when they come in with a 4+ run lead. Cody Allen made a big mess of things.

I'm glad that I pulled back my fantasy offer for Cody Allen yesterday.

Yikes.

Colorado's pitching has been absolutely unreal as of late. Tyler Anderson and Kyle Freeland are looking like legitimate aces. Dunno if it'll last, but if these guys can keep playing even close to as well as they're playing, the Rockies are a legitimate contender to win the NL West.

Also, for all the flack Charlie Blackmon has gotten lately, he's been on fire ever since he got that one game off.

What a world we live in where the Rockies starting pitching is a strength rather than a weakness.

Meanwhile, Jon Gray is in the minors with the 4th best xFIP in the majors...

He's arguably been the unluckiest pitcher in the majors this year.

This is the big leagues...

just realized that the nats game tomorrow is on facebook only. so stupid

Richards leaves the game for the Angels with an injury. Their rotation is basically in shambles. And he was a potential trade piece as a FA-to-be.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

And now the Astros have their own 9th inning implosion after entering up 4 runs. Bauer and Verlander both get robbed of wins.

Those A's are something awesome right now.

You mean that Garrett Richards is hurt? Well, I never...

Love the A's.

Bregman does it again with a walkoff!

Edit - This was clearly not a heroic walkoff. Ouf.

 

[solventless710]

Is Lucroy f***ing serious? Holy shit.

 

[Terry Yake]

lucroy has to be on drugs

what a waste of a comeback

A bit unorthodox but Houston now has a walk off win in five straight home series. Love this team, never gives up despite a 9th inning crash. Wild finish, but now Houston moves to 9-2 vs. Oakland this year.

lucroy owes treinen some drinks for that embarrassing performance

I was watching the D-Backs postgame show. The graphics department ACTUALLY had "XXX" for a stat for David Peralta. (Sorry, no pic.) I'm sure that won't be a problem...

 

[c9777666]

Of all the ways for the A’s first loss this year in a game they led after 7/8 innings......

they only led in extras

houston was winning until the top of the 9th

Braves are garbage right now. Combination of bad pitching happening at the same time their offense goes in the can. They've been outscored 43-23 over the last couple weeks. Brutal.

Well I can only assume that Machado saw it as an audition, so he tried harder.

In fairness, Treinen did walk the leadoff batter and then allowed the single by Tucker before the madness began, so he got himself in hot water to begin with.

Giles needs to be sent down to AA. AJ keeps giving him chance after chance and he's been useless. Supposedly he was cursing at AJ leaving the field last night.

Nice to see Tucker up and getting some quality playing time and hits. Kids got talent.
