For those not watching, the Rangers had a two run read with two out already, but a man on third. Marte was due up for AZ. Bochum decides to IBB Marte, putting the tying run on first. Don’t know that that was the right move. Next hitter doubles followed by a two run walk off. -
He did. Just happens to be a very ordinary reliever.
-
Well this certainly didn’t age well. And it’s only been 15 minutes.

Don’t know if anyone saw this or not, but on Aug. 15 Seattle’s young star Julio Rodriguez finished the night batting .256. Four days/games later he ended the night batting .278. So he raised his BA 22 points. Not a big deal if this were April or May. Or even June. But it’s the middle of August, and he’s played in almost every game. So how did he do it? He set a record of collecting 17 hits in 4 games, only the second person ever to collect as many as 16 hits in a four game stretch. He went 17 for 21 with two doubles, two HRs and 8 RBI. Crazy ABs!!!

Phillies leading the Giants 6-2 in the ottom of 6. Michael Wacha goes for the Pads against the Fish. Watch is 9-2 with a 2.68 ERA. That is not a typo. Tex/AZ later. Reds/Angels postponed.
-
Top of 2nd - 2 hits and no GIDPs plus some Detroit sloppiness and it’s 3-0 Cubs.
-
I was 42,000 two years ago. I’m sitting at 9,200 today.

Unfortunately, it seems like pretty much all (most) TV announcers and analysts talk waaaaaay too much. It’s like they feel the need to continuously fill in every moment of non-action/non-plays. Have an opinion, fine. But at least make it have some entertainment value. Otherwise, STFU! Analysts tend to be the worst, especially in football. Those guys feels they have to break down something on every single play.
-
Yep, keeping winning series. Expecting sweeps, even against crap teams, is not really realistic.
-
I would guess the Cubs lead the leagues in GIDP, or at the very least near the top. But they’re actually very near the bottom. They’ve hit into DPs less than all but four teams. I’m surprised.
-
Two more solo dongs for the BJs, leading Cincy 7-2.
-
BJs jumping on the Reds quickly. Hunter Greene has given up two 2-run dingers already and it’s still the top of second inning, 5-0 Jays.
-
Win today and it’s a series win. Of course, it’s a Sunday, so…..
-
The Padres are a dumpster fire. A really expensive dumpster fire. How safe is Bob Melvin?
-
A sweep would be great, but I’d be content with a series win. Just keep winning series.
-
The BP Cup. And that’s why they play the games!
-
Yanks up 7-3 in 9th over Marlins. Florida puts up 5 to steal the win, 8-7.
-
That first pitch looked a bit like Kimbrel on the Phillies. The second looked like Kimbrel on the White Sox.

2023 “Other Games” Thread
PackLandVA replied to PackLandVA's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Good thing that didn’t happen to the BFIB’s team or Julio would probably get a FB in the ear hole tomorrow. -
Friday, September 24, 2004 Cubs beat the @Mets and sit at 87-66, maintaining the WC position. The Astros sit behind them at 85-69. The Cubs go 1-7 in their next eight games (1-5 at home) while the Astros go 7-1 in the same stretch (winning 7 straight to close out the season.). What was a 2 1/2 game lead turns into 3 game deficit. LaTroy with two BS in the final week. Cubs treat the fans to a win on the last game of the season. Incidentally, the Cubs were 11-2 prior to the last 9 games

TLR - what a great hire that club made a few years back. I’ll bet Ricky is laughing his ass off.
-
Iowa put Ben Brown on the 7 day IL on Aug 2. Not certain how that affects a call up, but I’d imagine he’s not available until Wednesday.

Have fun! Try the veal!

Brewers lose.
