Steve Cishek is warming up in the bullpen already

The Joey Votto open mike night on the ESPN broadcast was fascinating and unnerving at the same time. He just never shuts up, live talking to the booth through every pitch.

 

Also, what a soulless shopping mall the Braves stadium is. I’ve been to a game there. The whole thing is like a chic mall in rich suburbia.

Ohtani

Trout

Rendon

Duffy

 

Guessing he wants his 3 best hitters getting the most plate appearances.

[PackLandVA]

And Darvish pulled after 6 with a no-hitter (92 pitches)

I wasn’t saying one of those guys should be cleanup. I posted the other 3 about the drop off in star power. Thought it was funny.

[Derwood]

Shwarbs and Rizzo with homers today.

[17 Seconds]

walkoff for javy

[Irrelevant Dude]

walkoff for javy

I miss him already.

[Bertz]

walkoff for javy

 

[sneakypower]

hard to recall a more anticlimactic walkoff, pretty awesome finish still

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Hendriks getting rocked and the White Sox outfield defense turning a double and a flyout into a triple and a hit is probably not a great omen

[UMFan83]

walkoff for javy

 

 

its times like this - and only times like this - where i wish Hawk wasn't retired

[Ding Dong Johnson]

walkoff for javy

I miss him already.

Already? Still.

Apple+ announcers: Why is Jeff McNeil nicknamed “The Squirrel?”

 

All viewers seeing Jeff McNeil on TV: Because he looks just like a squirrel.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Have the Padres SP set a record? 13 IP this season and no hits allowed between Yu and Manaea lol

[Derwood]

First teammates to go back to back 6+ IP with no hits

[Bertz]

Brewers got shutout by the Orioles, and it wasn't John Means day. That offense is going to be a problem

[Tim]

Taijuan Walker leaves the game with "shoulder irritation".

 

Mets.

JFC, LOL.

Kershaw perfect through 7.

[Andy]

Kershaw perfect through 7.

And taken out of the game. He'd thrown 80 pitches.

 

Baseball can be really horsefeathering stupid sometimes.

Yeah, that’s lame. 80 pitches. He’s a vet. You’re up 6-0. Unless Kershaw himself said he wanted out of the game, there’s 0 reason to take him out.

[squally1313]

Sounds like Kershaw was at least on board with the decision, if not made the decision himself.
