I'm getting really tired of these umpires in the Rangers/M's series. I can't wait for replay...

I know Soriano is a historically streaky player, but my gosh this guy is raking right now. In Puig, Miggy, and Hanley territory right now. Another 3 hits.

LOL @ the Giants-Marlins 14-10 game in the 9th. Who would have expected an offensive outburst like that in Miami with those two teams?

Better Upton walks it off. Awww yee. This guy has to play at this level for us to have any shot in October. If we get May-July Better Upton, it'll be lights out quickly.

This is what Soriano does. He did this all the time in Chicago. They are weeks where he looks like the best player in the world. Enjoy it, I hope it continues.

Something has to be done about Tim McCarver.

Isn't he retiring at the end of this year?

Re: 8/12 - 8/18 Game Discussion Thread

This newfound Braves-Nationals rivalry is getting a bit ridiculous. Harper takes a bit too long admiring his home run and trotting around the bases. Since then, he's been hit by Braves pitchers three times.

Heyward leads off the Braves' inning with a home run, and then Upton gets drilled by Strasburg intentionally. Harper is sitting today.

I wonder if Heyward will get hit his third or fourth at-bat (when Strasburg is at the end of his rope and if the HBP is inconsequential). I don't think he showboated, but he did do something with his arm as he rounded first base (like keeping it extended during the following of a low-five).

Minor had NOTHING tonight...he's been scuffling of late. Wonder if he's hitting the wall.

Wow... thanks Stephen!

Welp, Chad Bettis looked awful and the Orioles put up 7 spot in the 3rd. Thankfully for Bettis, only 4 of his runs are earned.....

Wow... thanks Stephen!

Do you think that was intentional? Why would he do that...? The first WP was outside and no where near Simmons. What is he doing?

I still honestly don't even know, but you can't rule it out given everything else that has happened.

I just don't know how anybody could ever be that errant.
