Fuck California. Fuck LA and fuck Puig. Collins is a fucking moron, no reason to pitch to Gonzalez there.

I hope someone hits Puig in in the ribs so he can learn some character.

Never change Frank. Never change.

I love you man.

 

[The Frankman]

Well Hawkins seemingly ok after maybe getting hit in the groin there, Ethier finally comes up to bat as the tying run. Dominician Power waiting in the background with baited breath for the outcome, prepared to troll the Mets in case the save is blown.

1 hour later...

Doyers looking like a team of destiny.

YES!
YES!
YES!
YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

Lol. If he had more character his ass would still be stuck in Cuba.

Character can come later.

Liriano has now had a decision in first 18 starts 13-5, last Pirate to go this long without a ND to start a season was 1965 with 19

 

[Windu]

Per my man @joe_sheehan the Dodgers now 40-8, if they win their next two, it'll be the best 50 gm stretch in MLB since WW2

Hah, I came to post this! It was 4-2 when I went to bed so I knew we had a chance but I didn't expect to read about a PH HR in the 9th to set up the win. Amazing stuff.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Now if feels good to be a Dodgers. Earlier in the season, not so much lol

 

[RBH]

Glad I didn't stay up for that.

Nothing ever good happens to the Mets since 2006.

Fixed.

 

[jello44]

So not that anyone cares but...

Robbie Grossman robs Chris Young of a Walk-off Homer.

And the Astros win the game in the 11th. o:

Goin' for dat sweep today.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Wats the plan wen Kemp gets back, if he ever does? 4 OF that should be starting.

 

[turnbuckle]

Prince Fielder getting divorce

This needs to get taken care of before the postseason starts goddammit. He was killing it in April, then fell off right after.

 

[ToxicAdam]

Baseball needs the Dodgers to be good again. Hope they don't fuck it up.


Indians have 40 games left. They need to go about 26-14 to stand a chance of making the playoffs. Seems unlikely with a west coast trip looming.

It's nice having a semi-respectable division again for a change. You guys still have a bunch of games against the Twins and White Socks and a 4 game set against the Astros. A couple series against the Royals too. If they do ok on this trip they're in a good position the rest of the way.

I'm never going into September expecting the playoffs unless Detroit has like a 11 game lead. 2009 and 2011 has made me overly cautious. Hope we can knock out the Royals in this series.

 

[Windu]

Proposed expansion of MLB instant replay to include a manager’s challenge

ugh

 

[Branduil]

You'd think eventually players would learn not to test Leonys' arm.

 

[matthewwhatever]

With the proviso that I don't believe in intangibles, character means nothing, "clubhouse guys" only matter when teams are winning, etc...this stat kind of gives me pause:

The Blue Jays with Munenori Kawasaki -- terrible hitter, mediocre fielder, all-around subpar major league baseball player -- on the team: 38-33 (.535 winning percentage)

The Blue Jays without Kawasaki: 17-32 (.347 winning percentage)

Admittedly, he's marginally better than Emilio Bonifacio and Maicer Izturis. But not so much so that he should be making any difference. And yet...the Jays do play better with him around. And without him they're basically the Astros.

 

[ConradCervantes]

ugh

Going right back where we were a decade ago when games were regularly three and a half hours long. I pity the poor souls who subject themselves to Yanks/Red Sox games.

They're already like that. The problem is pitchers who work super-slow and batters who constantly call time-out. Not to mention all the pitching changes in today's game.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Duration of games isnt a problem, as mush as the pace.

Nice work by Torii Hunter in alerting the media.

 

[darkside31337]

Andrus cleared waivers and people are actually surprised he did confuses the hell out of me.

He's a really shitty hitter on a shitty contract.

Can he play SS? Phillies desperately need one of those.

Yep, signed in May. Its unfortunate and divorce is a serious matter and I feel really bad for him. Which makes a day off or two even more important. Let him clear his head.

 

[Dominican Power]

It's funny how Kemp is having one of his worst seasons and The Dodgers are having one of their best.

 

[Y2Kev]

Yesssss robot umps

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Wats the plan wen Kemp gets back, if he ever does? 4 OF that should be starting.

Probably have a rotating outfield for each game. One guy will sit for PH.

I just hope when Kemp does come back he can stick around for more than one game.

 

[RGVNOE]

Good to have you back in lineup Yadi

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Instant Replay in 2014 will give managers three challenges. They can only use one between innings 1-6 and will have two available from innings 7-9.

 

[richiek]

Seems instant replay challenges in 2014 are official:

http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/9...-replay-2014-include-manager-video-challenges

 

[Mr. Enigma]

I expect all six challenges to be used often in games with Angel Hernandez and C.B. Bucknor.

 

[CriginsMcJuggs]

So not that anyone cares but...

Robbie Grossman robs Chris Young of a Walk-off Homer.

"Where's that ball?"

What kind of arbitrary bullshit is that?

One step closer to being modern.

 

[Oxx]

What kind of arbitrary bullshit is that?

Everyone knows that the last few innings are more important than the others. That's why the closers get the big bucks.

Can Jim Leyland still issue a challenge to give Armando Gallaraga his perfect game back?

 

[Mr. Enigma]

It's not official yet. The owners still have to vote on it in November. It has to get a 75% vote to become official.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

They should just platoon Kemp and Ethier in CF. Ethier because he sucks against lefties and Kemp because he's made out of glass.
