2017 Baseball Season: Let's Play Two! (1 Viewer)

I heard that they called up De Aza. I nearly fell out of the chair when I heard that. God, he's awful.

Brad, haven't heard that trade rumor, but it fits as the Nats just had to put OF Goodwin on the DL, making something like 4 OFers on the DL. Actually had to call De Aza up from the minors so maybe the Grandy rumor has substance. We've gone through 8 or 9 OFers so far. -- Al

Went back and counted; De Aza is the 13th outfielder that the Nats have had on the roster this season. Egads. -- Al
 
I know the Dodgers are good, but this stat shows just how good they truly are:

Since Kershaw went down with an injury on July 23rd, the Dodgers are 18-3.

They lost their ace (arguably the best pitcher in baseball) yet they have only lost 3 games in that span? Wow.............
 
O's are getting no help from the Mets. I was hoping for a split but now appears the NYY are going to sweep. Up to the O's to help themselves. -- Al
 
Yankees are showing how bad the Mets are right now. They have a lot of work to do. I think Rosario looks like a keeper, Smith I have my doubts. I'm nor liking what I see from him.
 
All my angst about the Nats bullpen is a thing of the past. The 3 acquisitions, Madson, Kintzler, and Doolittle (or MKD as the clever announcers call them) have stabilized the pen and given the Nats what they lacked through the All-Star game, a shutdown pen. Madson has a 0 ERA through 9 games, Kintzler is at a 1.00 ERA through 9 games, and Doolittle is at 2.57 with 10 saves in his 14 games. Sure is a different feeling going into the 7, 8, or 9th inning than it was a month ago. Now, if we can only get back some of our injured regulars...
Also, there is an article in the sports section this AM explaining why Mark Lerner (principal owner of the Nats and old school mate of mine) has been absent from so many games this year. Normally, he is at all the games but he was diagnosed with cancer earlier this season and had to have his leg amputated earlier this month. It won't keep him down and I want to wish him all the best. -- Al

Al:

I second those get well wishes for Mark Lerner. I read once that he loves the game so much that he sometimes plays the outfield during batting practice and he is very well liked among the Nats players.

Jason, that is all true. He is very involved and prior to this season's physical problems, it seemed he was always at the ballpark. I went to school with him, 7th through 12th grade, not that we were best buddies but we were friendly. Ran in different social circles.:rolleyes2: -- Al
 
O's in a hole again, 5-0. Hellickson has given up 4 Hr's in 1.1 innings.:mad: It would seem Helickson is not the answer to the O's SP problems.:rolleyes2: -- Al

Ball is really flying out of Camden Yards tonight. O's have added 2 Hr's. That makes 6 Hr's in 3 innings. P.S.-- Can't keep up. O's just added another Hr (#3) to close the score to 5-4, Angels. Shootout in B-more, and I'm not talking the crime rate here. -- Al

The Hr derby continues. Machado has hit his 2nd Hr of the night, Trout has gone deep. It's 7-5 Angels in the top of the 5th and there have been 9 Hr's hit, responsible for all the runs. -- Al

Wahoo! Machado just hit his 3rd Hr of the game, a walk-off GS that gave the O's a 9-7 win. Each team hit 5 Hr's and these were responsible for every run scored. What a terrific game and an important win for the O's. -- Al
 
The Angels pen is not good and they showed why tonight. Sciosia is always looking for the right combination since they don't have a reliable closer. Better luck on Saturday.

Another dreary game for the Mets :(
 
The Grandy Man is now a Dodger. Hopefully he can help them and win a title. He's a quality individual and always been an asset to every team he's been on, Tigers, Yankees and Mets. I will miss seeing him as a Met.
 
After blowing a 3-0 lead and falling behind 6-3, the Red Sox rallied against the vaunted MFY bullpen to win going away 9-6.

Apparently the Cubs knew something about Chapman and did not resign him, so naturally the MFY's laughed and swooped in and threw a dump truck full of money at him and wow, he's a total tire fire this year.

Sox now up 5 on the MFY's with Sale going against Sherman Klump, a former fireballer who's fastball wouldn't break a pane of glass today, he's become a junkballer, we'll see how tonight shakes out, myself and Miss Tiffany will be at the ballgame sitting in the right field pavilion above the Pesky pole, best seats I the house.
 
The Cubs have claimed Rene Rivera C off waivers. The guy is an excellent defender and has some pop. To say I'm angry about this is the effin understatement of the year :mad: They should have gotten rid of that loser d'Arnaud who can neither hit nor catch.

If anyone reading this can catch, please call the Mets. They're awaiting your call.
 
Oh, good grief. It's deja vu all over again. The O's have fallen behind 5-1 after 4 innings because, much like last night, the O's SP, Gausman, can't keep the ball in the yard, having given up 4 Hr's. Over the last 2 games, the O's SP have yielded 9 Hr's in 8.2 innings, quite the impressive display of incompetency.:mad: -- Al
