The Dodgers have a -6 RD in their last 16 games and the Astros have a -6 RD in their last 19 games.

 

The Astros are only 1.5 games up on the A's and that could drop to 1 game if the A's hold on tonight.

 

 

Let's go Oakland! If Cleveland were in the AL East, they'd be 17.5 out of first.

At least -- unlike the Astros -- we're still the best team in our state.

The preseason NL favorites not looking very good.

2018 Brett Anderson pitching in August against a team hoping to make the playoffs in the vaunted American League

 

7.2IP, 5H, 0BB, 2K, 0R

A friend of mine and I joked last weekend about potentially losing the World Series with our rotation of supposed-to-be-studs to an Oakland team fronted by Edwin Jackson, Brett Anderson and Trevor Cahill.

 

Let's just hope that doesn't happen.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

We passed Detroit in post-ASB VRD today.

[SouthSideRyan]

Marlins peg Acuna with the first pitch because that's what you do when guys hit HRs apparently.

[soccer10k]

Ronald Acuna has homered in 5 straight games. First pitch of tonight’s game Urena plunks him with a 98 mph fastball.

 

The rest of that game should be interesting.

[imb]

ronald acuna wont stop hitting leadoff bombs off the marlins so today they led off the game by beaning him.

[soccer10k]

Umps tossed Urena which should diffuse it a bit.

 

Wonder how many starting pitchers have ever only thrown one pitch in a game before.

[NotSoSober]

Urena just drilled the horsefeathers out of Acuna with a fastball right on the elbow. I hate that horsefeathers. Hopefully their catcher gets dr illed and ruins their catchers trade value during the off season. Should be fireworks for the rest of the game though

[PackLandVA]

Did Acuna lead of the game with another home run??

[imb]

they should suspend mattingly

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Really shitty thing to do under any circumstance, but with where the two teams sit in the playoff race, even more shitty. Cowardly.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Wonder how many starting pitchers have ever only thrown one pitch in a game before.

 

The last one to do it? You guessed it... John Lackey.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Actually Urena is the only one in the live-ball era to do it, apparently. Lackey is the last starter thrown out after hitting the first batter, but it must not have been on the first pitch.

[PackLandVA]

Wonder if Urena will start their next game. Why not? Pitch count down tonight.

It was this game. Lackey threw all of two pitches. He hit Kinsler and was tossed.

[Southpaw19]

That was such a bush league move by Miami/Urena. I really hoped Acuna would have stayed in the game and hit 3 bombs off Miami, but he exited the game after the 2nd inning. :(

Ronald Acuña has homered in 5 straight games, 7 of the last 8, and led off the last three games with a HR.

 

This phenomenon is also dubbed "How Southpaw19 Came Back to Win HR Derby".

[Brian]

Didn't Lilly get tossed in the first inning of a game against the Braves, maybe even first batter? It was the day after Soriano hit 3 dongs in a game and and he was plunked maybe even to lead off the game.

 

Looked it up, it was 3rd batter

Yeah... which is why I'm hoping he stays off the DL.
