Strasburg was pretty efficient today. 80 pitches over 7 innings but only three strikeouts.

[RammyFanny]

Damn Brewers.

 

Edit: next AB Fowler ties it up!

All Grit vs. All Pixie Dust matchup right now on ESPN

I'm paraphrasing here but "Jackie Bradley Jr just came out of nowhere. No one outside of the Red Sox organization knew who he was before this spring."

lol - who was that?

 

Dave O'Brien? Wasn't Sutcliffe or Boone.

I turned it on just in time for Bradley's AB. Holy cow were they frothing with superlatives.

 

Yeah, no kidding.

 

It was an impressive first PA - down 0-2 and he ends up coaxing a walk off CC.

The PA was definitely impressive. The coverage...not so much.

Cardinals headed for a solid 79-win season.

Cubs all alone in first place. Wire to wire.

 

EDIT - Whoops, forgot Milwaukee existed.

man, it's kind of surprising how bad tampa's lineup is

[sneakypower]

swapping out Wil Myers for Fuld should help some

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

James Loney, yikes.

[Tracer Bullet]

Wasn't TB good just recently? Yikes.

TB is good now.

 

And they were good last year with Longoria out for half their games.

Darvish has and perfect game and 9k's through 4 innings in Houston

Darvish has and perfect game and 9k's through 4 innings in Houston

 

yeah speaking of teams with a terrible lineup.

 

i am definitely interested to see how darvish goes this season. his first two-thirds of the season he missed a lot of bats, but he struggled with his command a lot (79bb in his first 140.2 innings). but then in his last 7 starts he walked only 10 guys in 50.2 innings. he seems tough to hit, so if he can cut down on his walk rate he could be one of the best starters in the league.

[Cubswin11]

Perfect through 6 and the commentary by the MLBN guys doing play-by-play on their live look in is insufferable, Vasgersian and Bowa are a whole lot of derp right now.

[Cubswin11]

Ryu is starting for the Dodgers tonight on MLBN. First hand look at the one that got away

[TruffleShuffle]

fatso brett wallace is playing third base? lol

[SouthSideRyan]

Uhhhh, pretty sure the game is going to "get to the 8th" there Matt

[Cubswin11]

Darvish perfect through 7.

 

Also there is some chick sitting behind homeplate at the Dodger game whose hair is a brighter orange than most hunters coats.

[SouthSideRyan]

Not to be disrespectful, but you're mother's a whore

[Cubswin11]

These MLBN guys are like 3 idiot HS baseball coaches sitting in one of their basements discussing the game

[OleMissCub]

Ok, isht just got real.
