2017 Game Thread for teams that aren't the defending World Series Champions

That really sucks for Freeman. Dude was having an MVPish season.

The Blue Jays sure seem to have a bunch of punks on their team. They are like the Clippers of MLB, act like they are the greatest ever and should get calls but have never won horsefeathers and are dirtier than just about everyone else.

Joey Bats' flip game remains on point.

Pillar also used a homophobic slur there aimed at Motte.

That's what Liam meant by 'the Andrew Shaw/Kobe special'.

Crap, I just glossed over that.

[Liam Neeson]

He is a pioneer. Performed the first apologetic bat flip. You bat flip and tell everyone you are sorry as you round the bases.

So Bautista gets hit in the first, I assume it's on purpose but if not the point is probably the same, then comes around and scores. Hitting a player, giving them a successful at-bat is weird retribution.

Berrios with a 9K 1-hitter through 6. The slider is on point tonight.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Is Mike Trout real or is he a video game create-a-player come to life?

[davell]

 

God, I love Brisbee.

Lynn just finished his 9 innings and Kershaw is going out to finish the shutout of the Cards. Impressive pitchers duel. Only a Grandal solo HR on the board.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Lance Lynn, coming off TJS, just threw 123 pitches to get through 8.

Lynn's only through 8. St Louis is on the road.

The Cardinals are bad enough that, even with Pixie Dust [expletive] being used on their rotation, they're still going to finish under .500.

Duh my bad

 

Any way, that sucked.

Yasmani Grandal can horsefeathers off. Great defense, asshat.

maybe he shouldn't have changed the signs so much so Kershaw didn't mistakenly think he called for the 2 base wild pitch

I mean, it was a blockable pitch. Certainly a little awareness would've kept Grichuk to 1 base.

I took an elbow battling down low in a pickup basketball game last week in that area that Puig just got hit in... still hurts a little to breathe today. Coughing really sucks.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

What a scary collision.

 

No way Pederson doesn't have a concussion between Puig's elbow and the outfield wall.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Shoulda sent Forsythe home on the errant throw by Molina. Worth the risk to walk it off, especially with Wong's second baseman arm.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Broxton in to pitch. This oughta do it.

And it did.
