Re: 7/30 - 8/12 Game Discussion Thread

This team is not good, and we have been outscored by almost 20 on the season despite being 16 over 500. We have been insanely lucky. Our pitching has been mediocre at best with the exception of Paxton and Gonzalaz, and we have too many outs in our lineup. And our farm is the worst in the league. Maybe if we can sign Keuchel and the best CF in FA we might have a chance. Or it could be that being a Mariners fan has turned me into an eternal pessimist.

...so, you're saying it indeed wasn't sustainable?

Jeez....Your crying about a team that's in the hunt of the playoff picture is getting old. I know you're pessimistic but try and relax. Who knows, you just might make the playoffs.

At least the Gordon injury looked worse than it actually once since he's in the lineup.

Well, Aaron Loup's first appearance as a Phillie is hitting Justin Bour and then being removed. Ok..

Hey this ******* needs to stop hitting players. He was the dildo who hit Freddie and derailed his MVP season last year.

Ugh, terrible first impression to a Philly crowd. Hopefully things get better here on out for him.

Phillies beat the Marlins 5-1 and maintain the half game lead in the division.

Hello friends.

I am not upset about how we extended our division lead this evening.

Also, Mr. Frederick Alfred Porcello III is a sweet, sweet angel.

7.5

Oy, Wade Davis. Blowing saves against Cubs' division rivals back-to-back days.

I'm an hour late for the start of the Tigers/As game and it's already the 6th inning


edit: and finally the first hit of the game for either side (Anderson was perfect through 5.1 and Iglesias got one)

Re: 7/30 - 8/12 Game Discussion Thread

Just saw the highlights from the Cubs game. That play by Bote to get the out at the plate in the 9th was sweet. A Baez-esque transfer and strong throw. I'm not sure that KB can make that play.

Really digging these Kelly Green Oakland A's home alternate unis.

As if poor Dexter Fowler's tenure in St. Louis couldn't get any worse. Odd that he and Pham both break their foot.

Re: 7/30 - 8/12 Game Discussion Thread

So, what was on pace to be the fastest game ever now goes to extras at 0-0 in Oakland and will probably last 50 innings

Re: 7/30 - 8/12 Game Discussion Thread

Really hope Borucki can be one of Jays star pitchers of the future.

He's been getting the deGrom treatment since he's been called up. 6 starts, 0 wins, but a 2.83ERA in those starts.

After tonight, he's gotten his first win in the majors and now dropped his ERA to 2.30 after 7 career starts! Not bad for a guy who before this year had only pitched 1 game above AA.

Sanchez,Stroman,Borucki,Reid-Foley and a 5th starter, that'd be a great rotation to have.

Maybe he should've chosen a different bird to sign with. I feel bad for him in some ways but thems the breaks.


As for the Jays game tonight. Borucki finally gets run support! Kid's got a bright future ahead of him IMO.
