2018 MLB Regular Season Thread - Part 3

[Canes]

No they aren't, the Phillies cant really score runs. Only way the Phillies will pass the Braves if Herrera and Hoskins start hitting. They just have problems scoring runs.

Braves aren’t doing anything well right now. Phillies might just have to only play .500 ball at this point.

 

[Terry Yake]

Holy, the Mariners have stormed back. 5-5.

don't know why so many people are counting the m's out

they are still very much alive and could easily overtake the A's with their AAA rotation

 

[Halladay]

Braves aren’t doing anything well right now. Phillies might just have to only play .500 ball at this point.

But you have to remember the majority of the Phillies games are against the NL East, they have a losing record against.

 

[Del Preston]

Marlins Park looks like a depressing place to watch a game. Why is it so dark in there?

 

[c9777666]

The Rockies have an August where they played insanely well vs. teams above .500 yet apparently they can't muster any hits in Petco against the bland, boring, anonymous Padres.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Dodgers take the lead in the 8th.

A's back on top by a pair of runs and their killer bullpen now controls the game.

 

[c9777666]

Rockies:

Sweep Oakland
Sweep Atlanta
Take 3 of 4 from the Dodgers

And yet they can't beat the bland, boring, blah nameless Padres. Like, does Petco Park psych them out that much?

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

A's gain a game on Houston.

 

[c9777666]

Yankees get 2 hits in 9 innings and win.

Go figure

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

The Braves need to wake up. Losing again at home. It's amazing how many teams suck at home this year. Looks like the Phils will lose, you don't want to waste those nights when you can gain a game.

Since the Acuna beanball, it has been a major struggle aside from that sweep in PIT.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Braves score 3 in the 8th and take the lead! Archer actually pitched well and much like he did often in TB, will get a ND for it.

 

[BigMac1212]

Have you ever seen a game where two long balls hit the foul pole? Because the Rays & Tribe both hit the right pole in tonight's game.

AKA DeGrom Lite

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Seattle predictably teabagging the A's in a bullpen vs Paxton matchup. Winning yesterday was huge for Oakland.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Kemp with a YUGE 3 run homer and the Dodgers are 3 outs away from a first place tie.

Jansen gets the save for a 2nd straight night.

 

[c9777666]

The Brewers and Nationals are still playing despite a lengthy rain delay.

EDIT: And despite the 1 hour, 58 minutes rain delay, the game was not called. And the Nats score 3 times.

Now we know why Washington refused to call the game.

I thought this would be like the Blue Jays/Yankees game a few weeks back with a 2 run lead in the 7th inning, an official game, and with an early start tomorrow, they’d call it and get the series over with.

Guess the Nats really think they can still make a late run.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

A's score 4 in the 8th. Now 8-7 in the 9th

Isn't it the umps' decision?

Mariners hang on. Of course they turned that into a 1 run game.

 

[c9777666]

Mariners might have just won this game despite a leadoff 9th inning walk by Edwin Diaz

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Too many strikeouts for the A's tonight. Diaz made guys miss after the Semien double.

 

[c9777666]

How many saves has Diaz blown this season if any?

Not counting the All Star Game, the only one I absolutely remember in a game that counts was against the Dodgers a few weeks back.

Also its the home team before the game. Once game starts only mlb or umpires control it

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

MLB is never going to call a close game with playoff implications short, nor should they.

They called a Blue Jays/Yankees game in the 7th inning a few weeks back when the score was 5-3

He's saved 2/3 of Seattle wins, and half of those have been by 1 run. Replace Diaz with an average closer and Seattle is probably battling Anaheim for 3rd place right now.
