All four starters to face the #Astros this year have tied or matched their career high for strikeouts.

 

Heh, Brett Anderson tied his career high against them today

 

But did he match it?

You can only do one or the other, not both. And it must be selected within 15 minutes of the conclusion of the game as to which you wish to use.

Justin Upton went 4-for-4 with his sixth homer and a double Monday in the win over the Marlins.

Upton scored both Braves runs in the game. He's the first National Leaguer to six homers this year, and he's already a third of the way to last year's total of 17.

 

Nice trade, Towers.

Lmao what a [expletive] dope.

[abuck1220]

worst strike call ever to end tb/tex.

[abuck1220]

i mean that ump should be fired before he gets back to the locker room.

:shock:

Holy [expletive], that really is the worse call I've ever seen. I don't think Maddux got that pitch in the mid-90s.

Ump had to take a slam

[Sammy Sofa]

Nathan's reaction is hilarious.

[Guest]

It's certainly right up there with the "strike" from the WBC a couple weeks ago.

[mul21]

Ump said if he had the chance to call it again it wouldn't be a strike. Thanks buddy. :roll:

[Guest]

So, uh, these are two different plays from the same game.

It's actually run by a friend of mine who is a Dodgers blogger.

Rob Neyer doesn't think the call was that egregious....till the ump changed his mind.

Not one of Neyer's best efforts. Does anyone rely on Gameday for pitch location after the fact? Sure as you're watching a game somewhere where nothing else is available. But include a gif and/or a better pitch tracker.

I like that he used what appears to be the mini version of Gameday too.
