horsefeathers that racist POS Strickland. I hope Posey hates him too so he didn't help him out.

 

That's probably my favorite part. Posey not only doesn't even try to stop Harper from charging the mound, but he waits until both teams are basically at the mound before he even moves towards it.

 

Definitely shows how he feels about Strickland and the HBP.

The dodgers are playing like complete dogshit right now against the cardinals.

I heard audio from Posey on the drive home today that was basically saying that yeah, he "sorta got it" why Harper would want to charge the mound.

Morse had to go on the 7-day concussion DL because of lunatic Samardzija.

Kershaw has 9 Ks through 4.

 

Wish the Dodgers could score on the Brewers.

12 through 6 after only getting 1 strikeout in the 6th. He's also at 80 pitches, so 20 Ks seems safe.

He gave up a double and walked a guy to start off the game and has retired the next 18 batters.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Kershaw gave up a solo HR to Domingo Santana and ended up with only 14 Ks in 7.

 

Dodgers working on being shut out for the second straight game against a team ahead of the Cubs in the NL Central.

Wait, Darwin Barney plays LF now?!? What little value he did have is completely negated out there.

The problem is that the only other players on the Jays bench (Goins, Carrera, and Coghlan) are left handed hitters...

 

 

 

I should say that the problem is that their manager thinks that Barney is a better option because he bats righty, I still would've gone with Carrera, he did pretty good against LHP last year and has ok career numbers.

Volquez has something going in Miami headed to the ninth, but the announcer (at least the one on the MLB channel, I'm not sure if it's the Marlins broadcaster or not) keeps going on about how Don Mattingly has an interesting decision to make.

 

 

No.

 

No he doesn't.

 

At all.

 

 

Yes, right now it's only a 1-0 game. Volquez is only at 86 pitches. What decision does he have to make? Nobody is going to pull Volquez right now. Hell, even if he gives up a hit he won't be immediately pulled.

[sweetpeteman]

Volquez strikes out the side to get the no-hitter.

A Maddux, at that.

Justin Bour played a big role in this game, with his glove

 

The Marlins have 6 no-hitters in their 25 years of existence

And faced the minimum since both walks were erased by DPs.

All on a hurt ankle.

 

Hell of a performance.

I wanted to go check out the Braves new stadium since I have a free night in Atlanta, but it's been raining all horsefeathering day. it's probably not enough to cause any delays, but I'm too much of a princess to pay money to get wet

Scooter horsefeathering Gennett just hit his 4th home run of the game against the Cardinals

3 HR and 20 RBI on the year before today.

[TruffleShuffle]

the cardinals challenged their own catch, the call was overturned, then they gave up a grand slam later in the inning.

Scherzer has 11 K's through 4 innings in LA.

Now 13 through 6.1. Man, it's hard to get 20.

[Cubswin11]

Manager of The Year, Dave Roberts, just let Kershaw hit in the bottom of the 7th when they were up 2-1 then brought in a relief pitcher to start the 8th.....
