2018 MLB Regular Season Thread - Part 3

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Go on.

Was that the death blow for the Nats playoff hopes? Hard to recover from THAT.

RIP Nats.

Cubs and Red Sox. It's destiny.

Too bad its 15 years later though.

I mean, like I posted in the last thread, I think Scherzer is the NL MVP frontrunner right now. But he's a pitcher on a team that may not make the playoffs, so... (not that it matters to me, but still)

Also, I think J.D. Martinez would win the AL MVP if the season ended today because home runs and RBI even though Betts, Trout, Ramirez and Lindor all have much better cases than he does.

Holy Bote!

I’m loving it, walk off slam suck it Nats. Scherzer is amazing though, I love watching him. Filthy

 

[Reality Check]

Feel bad for Scherzer.

Left for a team with a longer contention window. Got paid, has stayed healthy and has continued to deliver. Yet he might just be on the NL version of the Tigers.

Now that was some good, clean fun

Last Sunday night: We will not see a bigger 9th inning implosion with a 3 run lead than Aroldis Chapman.

Ryan Madson: Hold My Beer

 

[rangerssharks414]

What do the current Cy Young frontrunners (in my opinion) have in common?

The Diamondbacks traded both players away.

(Yes, Sale has been ridiculous, but Bauer has pitched 20 more innings with not much of a dropoff at all for stats.)

 

[Halladay]

Cole is back, great start tonight.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

They are done.

 

[c9777666]

We saw the Yankees pick up the pieces somewhat after their Sunday night disaster (6-1 since).

We’ll see what the Nats do going forward.

 

[Canes]

Man, I turned the channel when Zimmerman knocked in 2 runs to make it 3-0 figuring that was the game. Stupid me.

As bad a loss as the Yanks had last Sunday night..... this might have been worse.

What’s a worse way to lose- the Yankees last Sunday night or the Nationals tonight?

Both were up 3 runs with only 1 out left in the ninth

 

[Canes]

Found this also, only the 15th walkoff grand slam with 2 outs down by 3 runs since at least 1955. It's also the first where the grand slam was the teams only runs of the game.

Both teams had errors that would've ended the game so I have to go with Nats. At least Chapman walked the Red Sox and they had to lay off pitches. Madson just hit them and didn't even force them to work the count and earn their way on base.

Edit: Just looked at the box score and they didn't give Difo an error on that grounder. lol okay drunk scorekeeper.

They lead the MLB in come from behind wins... Can't turn your back on them

What's great is that Bote's slam was the only hit of the inning. Hayward reaches on an infield single (should have been an error, but whatever) Almora gets hit and Contreras gets hit.

 

[Terry Yake]

A's-M's 3 game set starts today followed by a 3 game set with HOU

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Can't believe the Braves beat the Brewers yesterday. Milwaukee only gets 7 runs with 19 hits and a bunch of walks (seems mathematically impossible) while the Braves gets less than half the number of hits. Wha?

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Acuna Matata yet again.

MVP Baseball was such a great game for its time.
