Got a gift with the Angels hitter swinging at a clear ball on 2-0. No idea why he wasn't taking there.
-
Can we get a nice ground ball right at Dansby please.
-
Can someone explain how, before today, Horton was only worth 0.7 bWAR despite a 3.08 ERA in 87.2 IP? That's only 1.6 for a 200 inning season. Fangraphs has him at 1.3, but I believe they're FIP based and before today he had a 3.87 FIP. What am I missing in how B-R calculates WAR?

Spurs voodoo over Man City continues. Poch, Jose, Nuno, Conte, Ange and now Frank all have wins over Pep as Spurs managers. I believe only Liverpool under Klopp have a better record against Pep than Spurs do.

PCA!

I’ve always hated when the home plate ump makes the call on an iffy check swing. They should always appeal to 1st or 3rd unless it’s super obvious.
-
Ump pointed at Suzuki as if to say he swung. Catcher pointed to 1st to appeal.

It looks like ESPN is basically buying MLB.TV
soccer10k replied to Andy's topic in General Baseball Talk
Would still be a $30 increase for a full season. MLB TV last year was $150. Days there that ESPN’s service is $30 per month. -
Don't jinx it. There's a decent chance that on Aug 25 that Tucker still hasn't played and the Cubs retroactively put him on the Il.

History Watch: The Rockies on pace for worst record of all time
soccer10k replied to Derwood's topic in General Baseball Talk
Rockies record by month (before today). So as many wins in each of the last three months by themselves than in the first two months combined. After tonight's win, the Rockies are 37-89, which is a pace of 47.5 wins. So they'd have to go 4-32 to match the White Sox last year. Probably not happening at this point.

Are you even watching? He was 99-100 that entire inning?
-
Heart skipped a beat when he made contact. Was fully expecting that to trickle into RF.
-
Good job all around by everyone on this!
-
Would have been nice to have him of course, but I'm more of the belief that they should be going after guys a few years younger who have room to grow. Getting Eze is more of a win the next couple years type of move, which is why it makes more sense for Arsenal to get him.

So you’re saying we should be happy Jed didn’t acquire even more crappy players?
-
Peralta didn’t throw a single strike that AB and Caissie still swung at 4 of the 7 pitches. He walked 3 straight hitters at least make him throw a strike or 2.

The Reds have a brutal schedule the rest of the way. Two easy series and maybe a third (Mil to end the year) but everyone else is at or above .500. Their third easiest series is whichever of Ari/LAA/StL is the worst. Thats not to say the Cubs will make the playoffs. I mean they’re only 4.5 games up. But unless they just tank (which considering they’re 9-14 in their last 23, I won’t rule out), the Reds will have to play well against good teams to pass us. If the Cubs maintain their 9-14 pace, they’ll go 16-25 the rest of the way (a 63 win pace). That would leave them at 84-78. Reds would have to go 20-20 to tie us. Cubs still play Col x3, Wash x3, Pit x5, Atl x6. It would be pretty disappointing for them to go 16-25 the rest of the way.

Squally right now:
-
They pinch hit him last inning against a lefty.
-
I think we mainly root for neither team to sweep and them hope we can take care of business against the Pirates. Im not super worried about the Reds. They play Pitt and Oak (and the Brewers to end the year so that might be an easy series for them) but other than that, every team they play is right around .500 or better. So the Reds would have to get hot against good teams or the Cubs would really have to tank.

You mean the .312 OBP, 78 wRC since the ASB Seiya Suzuki? We don't need to act like Seiya has been much better than an average hitter for about 2 1/2 months now - 104, 103, 118 wRC in each of the last 3 months, down from 156 and 138 the first two months and 118, 128 and 137 the last three years.
-
Why did I even tune in? Wasn’t planning on watching but I saw a runner on 2nd with no out and I couldn’t resist.
-
Who do we root for in Mil-Cin this weekend? Were two games closer to Cin but they’ve got a brutal schedule the rest of the way (still play Mil, LAD, Tor, NYM, SD and us, and they also have StL twice, Ari and LAA, all of whom are around .500). So I assume we probably want neither team to sweep.
