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

yeah it's all falling apart

 

Why don't you just take the rest of the season off?

but then i'll miss your pontificating about how the cardinals and brewers don't matter even though you clearly think they do

[UMFan83]

It is a little bit humorous that we were laughing at the Cardinals record like 3 days ago and now they are 0.5 games behind us

[CaliforniaRaisin]

The Cards just won on a brutal strike call to end the game. Up 2-1. Bases loaded. Full count. Called strike three.

That doesn't do it justice.

 

Can't wait for robot umps.

 

[NOLA]

Travis Wood is making his first start since 2015 for the Royals today and is looking pretty solid into the 5th.

Soler has made too really nice plays with the glove in LF.

I'm going to assume this just means he caught the ball without almost tearing 7 different leg muscles/ligaments.

The Orioles blow so freaking hard

at least leake is getting crushed

The Cardinals haven't been relevant since 2015

[Gilby]

And we're closer to the irrelevant Cardinals in the standings than 1st place.

stop co-opting duke's shtick, there can only be one

[UMFan83]

Milwaukee sweeps the Orioles by a combined score of 18-3

[CaliforniaRaisin]

I knew Gausman had been struggling but what did the Orioles do to Tillman?

Didn't he have some sort of injury to start the year? May be some residual effects and/or he's still not 100%?

[Derwood]

Catching a AAA game tonight (Indianapolis vs Columbus). Fun with rehab assignments, as Starling Marte is playing for Indy and Danny Salazar is pitching for Columbus

[Ding Dong Johnson]

wait, isn't a bit fucked up that Marte's suspended yet able to play in the minors?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

The Brewers have committed 5 errors and they're only in the 4th so there's definitely something in the water today in the NL Central.

And yet it's tied :banghead:

Pretty shitty the Cubs had to play the Yankees during the month they were competent and the Brewers get them now.

 

Oh, now you're pulling Clippers, Girardi???

[17 Seconds]

now they're up by a lot

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Man, the Brewers are good. Wondering how many on the board here have finally started to realize it.

Hey we're only 6 games out of WC2 so maybe there are

Multiple playoff spots to be had if we actually win a couple of baseball games

[TMan92]

They are a nice team. Could see it last year. The fact that the team with the Cubs talent being 500 is the issue. The brewers aren't 20 over. Yet.

they're not bad but it's not like they're impressive

No, they are impressive. Their offense is completely filthy this season and has been the entire time. They didn't have Braun for a month and it had no effect on them.

 

Their starting pitching has overachieved but it has been way more than solid with the offense they have to back them up. Hader has a chance to be a big weapon in the second half and they will buy another starter.

 

I realize I just made them sound like the 27 Yankees, but just know they are not the garbage team all of our elite posters made them out to be.

 

And with a $62 million dollar payroll and a team that was supposed to be rebuilding. Unreal.
