Diamondbacks lose the game on "strike 3" looking. That was a wild one. 11-10 final. Diamondbacks were up 8-5, Colorado scored 6, then the Diamondbacks scored 2 to close the gap.

I saw that clip earlier last night. Love it. Lol. F.P. Santangelo probably like, "You won't ever see a better spat in a dugout between teammates than that one."

I can't believe how much that team has struggled, in pretty much every way.

Not sure how much chemistry (and all that entails as it can be a bit nebulous) is playing into this. I propose this to help their cause:

Spoiler

"Natitude Headband Day"

In all seriousness though, certainly not counting them out. If they get hot in August, could easily be a 3 way race. Additionally, the Phils poor run differential could also easily catch up with them and they could drop out of it without some deadline help.

On my team's front to show I'm not biased, I'm guessing Arrieta is having guilt pangs or something after his interchange earlier with the team and Scott Kingery (who at that point played all of a 1/4 - 2/3 of a season). Giving up 4 runs after being well rested to a very sub-par team is not earning your keep. Maybe it's take a look in the mirror time.

Strasburg struggling against the Braves. I think I have seen that one a time or two before.

We get it Matt Carpenter....

It's been painful to watch the Cubs pitching these last few days. Chatwood is just so erratic.

Then he gets a 1-2-3 DP

5.1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 6 BBs, 1 HBP, 2 Ks


That's one of the stranger lines I've seen

They opened up Mt. Davis in Oakland for tonight's game against San Francisco.

The game is sold out and it's expected to be the largest Coliseum crowd for a baseball game ever.

I'll probably watch that tonight.

Carpenter got us back into the game, and Lyons took us back out of the game.

That's just a "Chatwood."

The MLB record for BBs by a pitcher in a season is held by Amos Rusie. He had 289 BBs in 548.2 IP for the 1890 NY Giants. I don't think Chatwood will challenge that.

Since the AL/NL merger, Bob Feller leads with 208 BBs in 1939. I don't think Chatwood will get there either.

In terms of rate statistics, Tommy Byrne's 8.22 BB/9 for the 1949 New York Yankees is a possibility. Chatwood is sitting at 7.96 BB/9 after today.

Thank the baseball gods for the immaculate Chasen Shreve.
