Hunter Pence strained oblique.

 

Diamondbacks up 1-0 early and still rallying with 0 outs.

[Schwarber Fan]

Bases loaded, no out for Arizona. Stomp on them!

[Schwarber Fan]

Only got one more. :(

 

2-0

[Schwarber Fan]

Anderson giving it all back.

[Schwarber Fan]

Not much pitching in that Pirates game.

Have to laugh, the Mets didn't have a lead for the entire Pirates series and the second the arrive in Baltimore, boom - lead off homer.

Why would this possibly be something you would care about.

7-3 Pirates.,

Vogelsong is miraculously through 3 shutout innings. Not surprisingly, Lance Lynn hasn't allowed anything yet either.

[mul21]

Wow, Belt just struck out on a pitch that I'm 99% sure was on the chalk of the RH batter's box. Just awful.

[ARCubsFan]

Dave Dombrowski was just named President of Baseball Operations in Boston and Ben Cherington has resigned as GM

[mul21]

That whole Lucchino Theo thing worked out pretty well for them, eh?

[ARCubsFan]

Diamondbacks tie it with 2 outs in the 9th!

[Sammys Boombox]

That was gloriously awful!

D'Bags!

SF put a man on 2nd with nobody out and didn't score. Chalk another one up for STL's LOB%

Meh, Cards did the same thing the inning before and didn't get him in either.

Right, but that particular situation happens pretty regularly. It's not like the situation they've got now with the bases loaded and 1 out. Wiggling out of this would be a great example of their absurd luck so far. Crawford hit a slow roller to 3rd and got a run in though.

Steve Berthiaume just called Goldschmidt "America's First Baseman."

Best 1B in baseball for sure

[Sammys Boombox]

And replay in Cincinnati completely screws the Royals. I don't get how replay can be so screwed up.
