Has to be really stressful being a Mets pitcher right now. They basically have to be perfect.

 

[Silver Arrows]

I can't get over how the new Red Sox commentator sounds exactly like Orsillo.

They should be used to it from last year.

 

[sangreal]

Yikes @ that Rockies outfield collision

 

[Beckx]

this is a pretty good day

my favorite pitcher (Kohei Arihara, Fighters) threw a complete game 3 hit shutout this morning, and Taillon was lights out tonight

new zelda looks cool too

 

[BFIB]

Colby Rasmus got nothing from the fans at Busch :lol

I did from my couch. He was our sacrifice for a WS title.

 

[Chris R]

Mariners fucking blew it, what else is new?

 

[distantmantra]

Our pitching is imploding/has imploded/fuck.

 

[rando14]

I'm getting tired of this shit man.

Looking at their next couple series, the M's will probably be out of contention by the all star break if they keep up this garbage.

 

[Choomp]

Jung Ho Kang is a very good baseball player

Some of the most solid fielding I've seen in a while there at third tonight damn, + that HR

 

[JDHarbs]

Ladies and gentlemen, your 2015 world series mvp

[Parch]

Wow. There were 47,000 who watched the Jays game earlier? Damn. Was there an event or something?

Bus loads of school kids.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Welcome to Colorado.

Can we just hold every HR derby there?

 

[sf2fanatic]

Kenta ok?

 

[zulux21]

white sox are still putting up a fight. just got a 2 run home run, can they get 3 more runs to tie it up again?

nope

still didn't look to bad aside from the starting pitching.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

Colorado is always fun.

 

[Branduil]

It's amazing how unbelievably bad the Rangers' bullpen is outside of about 4 guys. Like they literally are incapable of getting outs.

boooom giants win

Bum weny 8 innings and gave up 2 runs, and his season ERA still went up.

He also went 1-2 at the plate with 2 walks along with that hilarious sequence at the end:

http://www.mccoveychronicles.com/2016/6/14/11942814/sf-giants-recap-brewers

Think about that deciding run, though. There were two runners on in the seventh inning of a tie game, with one out and the pitcher’s spot coming up. The pitcher in question was at 100 pitches. There’s no Play-Index search we can run, no instant database of managerial leaps of faith. But I don’t know if we’ve seen anything like that for decades.

The best part? Well, there are two. The first is that Will Smith, quality major league reliever, was absolutely unwilling to throw a fastball in the strike zone, choosing instead to miss with several breaking balls. Bumgarner started the at-bat with runners at first and second, and he finished it with a walk and a run scored. The official scorer assigned the RBI to abject fear instead of Bumgarner. He was right to do so.

The second best part is that Bumgarner’s OPS is .605 after Tuesday night. Here were the options to pinch-hit for him, with each player’s OPS:

Jarrett Parker, .680
Trevor Brown, .666
Conor Gillaspie, .532
Mac Williamson, .494
Ramiro Pena, .000

It’s possible that Bumgarner was actually the best hitter of the bunch, at least based on 2016 stats. Parker vs. Smith would have been a grotesque lefty-on-lefty mismatch, and the added benefit of Bumgarner is that he would absorb an inning that the bullpen wouldn’t have to.

It might have been the right strategic move after all. Good gravy. I'm not sure if I'm mad at the bench or infatuated with the pitcher. Maybe both.

Now, I don't really think that Bumgarner is a better hitter than Williamson, but I’m also pretty sure that the Brewers don't know that. They treated the pitcher like he was Barry Bonds with a base open, even though he was a pitcher without a base open. And, heck, maybe they were right to be that careful. Still, it decided the game, and I haven't stopped giggling.

 

[GK86]

Reyes was DFA.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Reyes was DFA.

No surprise. Story is the bonafide SS for the Rockies now.

It's pretty obvious the Jays won that trade. It was obvious from the get-go, it's just set in stone now.

Though I get the feeling Tulo is still not very comfortable in Toronto. And I doubt he ever will be.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Cubs will find a way to screw up: Pete Rose

Shut up Pete

Also apparently Jose really misses being on the Mets, at least based on his posts on social media. What are the chances he clears waivers and the Mets take him?

 

[GK86]

Has Reyes learned to play third?

Edit - Jesus, Reyes has around $35 million left on his contract lol.

 

[Malo]

Reyes going back home to the Mets.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

ESPN going all-in on the Cubs hype:

Gonna make the postseason disappointment so much harsher.

 

[GK86]

Ichiro has tied Pete Rose.

 

[MultiJhonny]

Ichiro has tied Pete Rose.

I think if he played here his entire career he would have still hit that mark too.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Kershaw has 7 Ks and no walks through 4 at AZ. LA still behind 1-0.

Doyers beisbol!

ASG candidate Omar Infante has been DFA'd. the king is dead. long live the king.

 

[CygnusXS]

It's time to come home, Omar.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Now that hockey is over I'm going to try and get back into baseball. I've been kind of out of it for the last 3 years with really only caring about the playoffs but I do miss it. Just hope I can find the time.

 

[NameGenerated]

Bob Davidson sucks.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Leading 3-2 in the top of the 9th.

Dodgers baseball!
