Edwards making his debut.

 

[jello44]

There is something strangely post-apocalyptic about going to see an A's or Raiders game there though. They should just embrace it since there is very little chance of a new stadium in that area any time soon.

Raiders fans do dress like Mad Max rejects.

 

[Frozenprince]

Ridiculous. He was getting hit after the break, pulls out this split and he's rolling along.

Funny that our biggest weakness is now a strength, but our biggest strength is not doing so well.

The pitching will come back around. Just needs it's rest, if we sweep the Nats we're in business and can rest the lot of them (4 innings then let the long men get it) against the Barves.

 

[JMDSO]

He should be there but, as no more than a LOOGY or a guy who "starts" and gets 3 innings before the real starter comes in.

or the mopup guy if the starter gets shelled.

I'm trying to pretend that won't happen.

 

[zroid]

I love when fans of other teams call into Jays Talk :lol

 

[Frozenprince]

So uh.

Hey Harper. You worried bout the Mets yet?

Hue.

 

[jello44]

Fucks sake, Carter...

 

[Silver Arrows]

sports talk radio is a beautiful thing

 

[RGVNOE]

I hate watching him pitch

Often wonder what we could get for him in the offseason (next year at the deadline probably a better haul, though)

I've been wanting them to trade him for a while now, they should've done it this past off season, hopefully they do it this next one

 

[BumRush]

Big win for the Mets. In a scherzer start, with one of the worst starters in the NL, that's a huge victory (both literally and moral).

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

No 4 strikeout inning for Rosscup, bummer

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Alex Speier ‏@alexspeier 19m19 minutes ago
.@GreenvilleDrive season comes to an end with bases loaded in the 9th in a 4-2 loss. Eliminated on last day of season.

Rough shit for the Sox A affiliate

 

[GK86]

I bet this was Niese's test to get into the playoff rotation, and he failed.

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

I bet this was Niese's test to get into the playoff rotation, and he failed.

If Bart continues to pitch like he has, he's gonna get a Game 1 start.

 

[Silver Arrows]

strike zone for ESPN is a little high today

 

[BFIB]

There's a Lynning. Then there's what happened today.

 

[Marz]

Yankees aren't going to put Teixeira in a platoon role. He's one of the best defensive first basemen in the game still and showed this year he still has upper echelon power.

Bird can get some more seasoning in the minors.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Loup
Tepera
Hendriks
Francis

Apart from Hendriks that's pretty much the bottom of the relief barrel.

 

[jello44]

uUUUGHHGHGHGHGHHHHHHH

Crisp with a 2 run pinch hit double

fuck fuckity fuck fuck fuck

 

[jello44]

A's blowing it open this inning ;(

 

[BumRush]

I bet this was Niese's test to get into the playoff rotation, and he failed.

Ageeed. Better now than in the playoffs.

If they do make the playoffs I'll look back at this game as a huge one, despite the bad start by Niese.

Houston Astros @astros
The A’s fans in the bleachers have drums at the games. It is not a broadcast issue and there is nothing we can do about it.


A's fans have only been doing that for 25 years so I'm not surprised Astros fans never noticed before... obviously it should be banned though as there should be no passion allowed in baseball.

 

[zroid]

damn Correa

Eh, the Astros have only been in the AL for the past three years. You can't expect EVERYONE to know this.

 

[Malo]

Sweeny Murti @YankeesWFAN: Nathan Eovaldi is being shut down for 2 weeks with elbow inflammation. Still 4 weeks until playoffs, hope is he is back before that.

Welp.

 

[Marz]

Man Yanks getting hit hard in this stretch run.

 

[zroid]

Bummer about Nate. He's been so good lately.

 

[jello44]

Got close there then... bam another 2-run homer.

 

[CygnusXS]

Hey guys, please stop scoring runs. We need to lose these games.

 

[Windu]

Not looking likely unless the bullpen gets a lot of action.

 

[jello44]

oh my god this game

 

[CygnusXS]

Not looking likely unless the bullpen gets a lot of action.

I'm hoping for a Williams Perez meltdown.

 

[GK86]

Link.

When the Nationals are on the road, particularly when they are struggling there, Bryce Harper always talks about the importance of playing in front of his home crowd. When asked about the atmosphere at Citi Field in August, Harper praised the Nationals Park crowd instead. But after Monday’s 8-5 loss to the Mets, in what is arguably the most important regular-season series in Nationals history, Harper chose unfiltered honesty when asked about the atmosphere at Nationals Park.

“I mean, they left in the seventh, so that’s pretty brutal,” Harper said. “I don’t know. Whatever.”

When is Tex even going to be back in the lineup?

 

[jello44]

All that battling back in the 7th and 8th and they go out with a whimper in the 9th.

Gray vs Kazmir tomorrow. Gonna be low scoring.

 

[Frozenprince]

At this point you can't bet on his body staying healthy. He has been riddled with injuries every year for four straight. His body needs to be a platoon player and split time at 1B/DH to survive the season.

 

[Limited Edition]

This KC pitcher is throwing the ball all over the place.

 

[Dominican Power]

Both Beltran and Tex have one year left on their contract. Judge and Bird can wait. Bird still needs more time at 1B.

I was at the game, there were a lot of people still there. Maybe not in their seats (was way too hot to stay in your seat, easier to watch from the concourse), but the place was packed. Lots of Met fans there. Not sure what Harper is talking about.

He's a toddler in a man's body.

 

[zroid]

I don't care what people say about Harper's attitude or whatever, I think he's awesome :lol

I know two people who went who aren't really hardcore baseball fans. They said it was hot as hell. They left after the 8th inning.

 

[Chris R]

Mariners last shot at the wild card is going away tonight it seems Nice 2nd half boys, shame the shitshow in the first tanked us too hard.

 

[zroid]

I love that whenever Sportsnet picks up a game involving the Dodgers, they always use the Dodgers broadcast. They clearly know what the people want.

 

[CygnusXS]

lol tonight had the lowest official attendance at any game in CBP history, and the lowest in Philly since 2003.

 

[cashman]

I think Andrew Faulkner is good
