2018 MLB Regular Season Thread - Part 4

[Say Hey Kid]

Did Harper play his last home game in DC?

 

[Dog]

Colorado Rockies looking good! Be amazing if they top Dodgers for NL West.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

The 1st place Colorado Rockies. A team that its own fans here have ripped constantly. Yep.

Team success and good managing aren't mutually exclusive. Just look at the 14 and 15 Royals.

Joe Sheehan sent this out in his newsletter today, it makes total sense but still is kind of stunning. Most strikeouts by a reliever in a team season, all time.

Rays 2018 722
Yankees 2018 717
Padres 2018 694
Brewers 2018 673

I mean, their starting pitcher usually only gets a few outs every week.

Kyle Freeland of the Rockies deserves to be a top 3 NL Cy Young Finalist ahead of Nola IMHO

No way.

 

[JWK]

Oh look another David Dahl HR, look what happens when you play your talented young player every day.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

3-0 Rockies. Arrieta getting smoked.

 

[Del Preston]

CC Sabathia needed to pitch seven innings today to trigger a $500,000 innings pitched bonus. He got ejected in the sixth inning for beaning a Ray in retaliation.

Sabathia ejected two innings shy of $500K bonus

Clown pounding at the Trop

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Did Harper play his last home game in DC?

80% chance yes.

 

[c9777666]

It’s only 3-1 now at Coors with 9 outs left for the Phillies. Arrieta settled down.

STL/LA fans are now rooting like hell for a Philly uprising

 

[Blitzkrug]

4-1 Rockies,

Complete momentum shift in the NL West race in the span of like 18 hours.

 

[c9777666]

Now it's 5-3. Colorado scored again, but the Phillies got 2 in the 8th.

Can Philly muster up some 9th inning spoiler pride?

EDIT- They got a baserunner, but the next 3 guys went down.

 

[c9777666]

Cardinals only hope at this point might be the Dodgers/Giants series. Colorado is up 2 on STL with 3 to play.

 

[c9777666]

The Rockies have outscored ARZ/PHI 52-10 since the Dodger sweep.

 

[JWK]

Wade Davis' ERA on the year is 4.20, a true Rockie.

 

[c9777666]

Wade Davis' ERA on the year is 4.20, a true Rockie.

And he somehow has managed to hold up more often than not as a 9th inning guy recently.

And he somehow has managed to hold up more often than not as a 9th inning guy recently.

That man is worth the $52M over 3 years.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Cubs win it 3-0.

1 game up with 3 to play.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Wade Davis' ERA on the year is 4.20, a true Rockie.

Amateurs. Cali's been doin' it since 96.

 

[Belieber]

We just need either combination of Dodgers winning 3 Rockies winning 2 or Dodgers winning 2 Rockies winning 1 to get an awesome game 163 on Monday, exact same stipulations for Cubs and Brewers if I understand this all correctly.

What an incredible disadvantage it would be for the loser of game 163, having to play in the Wild Card play in game on Tuesday.

I want the Rockies to win the division but I can't say no to an intense high stakes extra game on Monday.

Oh and also potential for a wild card tie break game, Cards vs Dodgers or even Rockies is possible.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

Always root for chaos but would love to eventually see Dodgers take the west, Brewers take the Central, and Have the Rockies destroy either the Cubs or Cards.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Hendricks is rolling and the Cards are down 2-0.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Bader picked off to end the 5th. Yikes.

Cards have 12 outs left.

 

[rangerssharks414]

I'm stunned that Jose Martinez didn't get thrown out there.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Gross.
