The same guy who frustrated Tigers fans to no end with his relentlessly old school managing and bad bullpen management....Sure, i'd like to see that too!

I know we both hate Farrell (and for good reason) but you can't give him an F when he managed a WS winning team.

Can Kris Bryant make it a Mookie Betts special? Bryant at the plate and already with 2 homers to give him 30 this season.

Not a homer but I'll take the RBI single for his 5th hit of the day. Your 2016 NL MVP, folks.

Can Josh Fields seriously be any slower on the mound?? Feel like I am watching this inning in slow motion. Get it and throw it man.

Re: 8/8 - 8/21 Game Discussion Thread

Is Camden Yards that much of a hitters park this year that it explains Baltimore having nearly twice the win rate at home as on the road? And it's not like the road performance has improved as the season has gone on. They were 18-22 (0.450) and are 9-12 (0.443) in the second half. They're 16-17 since the all-star break as well and are scoring almost 1.25 fewer runs per game. But playing the Astros can't hurt them right now, that's for sure.

The offense has largely been garbage since July. I was expecting regression towards the mean after hitting nearly 60 homers in June, but this has been really bad. I've been saying "they're due for a hot streak" for the last two weeks and it's just not happening.

Cardinals own a one game lead on the Pirates heading into a weekend series with the Phillies. We've won 4 straight...do I hear 7?

Matt Kemp has a .715 OPS in 16 games with Atlanta.

Sadly, I expected this mediocrity.
