The Diamondbacks are useless fucks but at least the Cardinals go to LA next.

The Diamondbacks are useless horsefeathers but at least the Cardinals go to LA next.

You know they're gonna sweep LA

Dodgers jumped out to a 2-0. Bauer gives up 2 homers and 3 runs. 3-2 Cardinals. Flaherty comes out with an injury. Dodgers score on a bases loaded walk to tie it. The...

 

Chris Taylor had a 14 pitch at bat ending in a 3 run double. 6-3 Dodgers. 9 more outs til the Cubs are in sole possession of first heading into June.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Chris Taylor breaks a 3-3 tie with a 3 run double on the 14th pitch from Genesis Cabrera. Cabrera threw 34 high-stress pitches in the inning. Hopefully that breaks him.

 

And Taylor didn't chase at all. Dude was filling up the zone and Taylor finally made him pay.

Thanks for trying David Price as an opener tonight, Doyers

horsefeathers. Dodgers, down a run in the 9th, 2 on, Betts smokes a laser to LF and O'neill makes a leaping grab just before the wall to end the game. Thought for sure he had the gw hit off the bat.

 

How long are the Cardinals gonna pretend like Reyes is a closer with his 26 walks in 29 IP. That team is such smoke and mirrors. We should leave them in the dust soon.

The Cardinals are down 11-1 in the first inning. Carlos Martinez gave up 6 runs before recording an out (a foul bunt attempt by the pitcher) gave up a 7th before being pulled with the bases loaded and 2 outs. Reliever comes in and immediately gives up a grand slam to Bellinger

 

Martinez final line - 0.2 IP, 6 H, 10 ER, 4 BB

The Cards are gonna have to pitch a position player.

1.5 game lead, here we come!

Ke'Bryan Hayes homered in the 1st inning against the Dodgers tonight but missed 1st base (the ball barely went out and bounced back on to the field of play so he wasn't sure it went out). The Dodgers appealed and on video review, he was ruled out.

 

A couple questions:

 

Could Hayes, while he was rounding the bases, gone back to touch 1st had he realized he missed the base? If he had already touched 2nd or 3rd, could he have gone back to touch 1st, and if so, would he have to touch 2nd and/or 3rd on his way back to 1st (similar to if a batter on 1st runs and touches 2nd but the ball is caught, he has to touch 2nd again on his way back)?

 

And once he touches home, does he then lose the chance to go back and touch 1st (say someone in the dugout noticed he missed the base but couldn't communicate it to him until he touched home and was on his way back to the dugout)?

Must be contagious

 

 

Such a stupid rule. A guy who hits a ball that far should get carried back to the dugout.

[squally1313]

Honestly, just do the softball rule. Hit a no doubter, just pimp it straight back to the dugout.

Chapman came in with a 2-run lead in the 9th tonight and proceeded to go

Brewers about to be 17-4 in their last 21 games.

 

Games were against:

 

<500:

Washington (3-0)

Detroit (1-1)

Arizona (4-0)

Pittsburgh (3-0)

 

11-1

 

>.500

Cincinnati (4-1)

San Diego (2-2)

 

6-3

 

 

Their next 13 games are against the Reds (1 over .500), Diamondbacks (worst record in baseball) and Rockies (16 games under .500)

 

During that same stretch the Cubs have 4 at NYM, 3 vs MIA, 2 vs CLE, 4 at LAD. So 10 of 13 against above .500 teams, 8 of them on the road.

 

The good news is that after today the Cubs have the 28th hardest SOS remaining. Of course the Brewers have the 30th hardest. Brewers will cool off but the Cubs will likely have to continue to play great against good teams to stay within a couple games of Milwaukee

[Bertz]

Woodruff getting knocked around with 5 runs in the first. @Coors is always a tough series no matter how bad the Rockies are in a given season

[We Got The Whole 9]

Padres up 2-0 top 9

Reds score 4

Hosmer hits a 2 run shot for the tie

RH Caratini walks it off with another 2 run shot

[soccer10k]

Caratini just hit a walkoff home run.

To beat the Reds.

Off Amir Garrett.

 

Chefs kiss.

How do you have 2nd and 3rd with no out and hit into a triple play on a ground ball to the pitcher?

 

This is how:

Crazy Coors at it again.

 

Brewers rolling along, up 6-0. Rocks have 2 hits through 5 innings. In the 6th, they get 6 hits, 4 HRs, score 6 runs and tie the game. It just aboslutely sucks to be in pitcher in that stadium.

[17 Seconds]

Schwarber has 18 taters

[We Got The Whole 9]

deGrom is totally gonna set the ERA record

[We Got The Whole 9]

Girardi requests 3 checks on Mad Max, the final being in the middle of an inning. Then when Max takes issue with the last check, Girardi ramps up the baseball action by trying to incite a fight, and gets ejected.

 

This what you wanted, MLB?

[17 Seconds]

2 more homers for schwarber already..ops up to .878
