Half the stadium left.
It's probably hottest day of the year so far, so of course if people have a reason to leave early they'll take it.

Biggest part of the comeback....If you're down 10-4 in bottom of the 9th, would you think the team not only comes back, but wins the game with a walkoff grandslam? By the same guy(Steve Pearce) who did it TWICE in one week! I think he might be the first player ever to get multiple walkoff grandslams in MLB history.

Considering how the Jays have such difficulties scoring runs (though now all of a sudden they're clicking for the most part) it's understandable for half the crowd to leave. If that's Steve Pearce's last AB as a Blue Jay then he couldn't have ended his short tenure any better.

In other milestone watching news:
A couple of guys closing in on 1000 hits. Most notably being Heyward and Trout(both will get it in August)

Adrian Gonzalez, Markakis, Phillips and Mauer all closing in on 2000 hits. Markakis should get it this week. Gonzalez whenever he returns from injury.

The next "Mr.3000" will be Pujols who might get it this year but if not, will get it in April 2018. A rare milestone I also saw, Pujols is just over 100RBIs away from 2000. Only 4 guys have done so.

Big day for the state of Texas today. Bagwell and Pudge into the Hall, Beltre with his 3000th hit.

Another day, another bullpen failure for the Braves.

And I couldn't be happier that it appears Andrew McCutchen is finally back to being what he is. 3 HR day. Dude's been on fire, man.

I don't know, but when a guy hits 2 grand slams in a week, let alone both for walk off wins, something just seems up.

Someone's gotta fix the sliders. This is too unrealistic.

Bumgarner looked great tonight. Dominating against the Dodgers.

Typical Dodgers.

Typical Dodgers.

This team is in such an amazing groove that it's not if, but simply when and how they will catch up and win the game.


EDIT: Pending the outcome of this game, the Dodgers are 18-2 over their previous 20 games, with this latest run starting on July 4th.

That's how this year has gone for us. Can never count us out.

It's moreso being gifted runs and games. Feels like every team is doing **** to just hand wins to this team. Especially over the last few weeks.

But SF just took the lead. So we'll see.

But good teams take advantage of situations. And it seems like the Dodgers always take advantage. Especially lately.

What a great piece of hitting by Farmer there in his first career AB. That was a really good 3-2 pitch and he just dropped the barrel on it and wins it for the Dodgers.
