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

I don't know if it's because I've gotten older, the 4:3 framing in the video, the juiced balls of today and/or the lack of stands at the time, but the big monster always looked larger to me back when than it does now.

I've felt the same as well.

So much for Mike Trout's pursuit of the 'best season ever'. He's had some trouble staying on the field this season. Missing a 5th straight game tonight.

Spoiler

Mookie Betts is better.

Heckuva catch by Engel. That ball was gone and he took it back.

Odubel Herrera scores Asdrubal Cabrera.

And all this time I never thought there was anything that rhymed with Odubel Herrera!

Cubs win. Cards lose. Pirates lose. Brewers idle. Not bad.

Hamels looking like a solid acquisition so far.

It's so weird seeing Osuna in an Astros uniform.

Damn wasted effort of Arrieta last night ..... he was stellar.

It's so weird seeing Osuna in an Astros uniform.

This was my adopted AL team, but very hard to root for them with someone like this in house.

Bases loaded and grounded into a double play.

It's definitely hard to root for them now. This means I have to root for the Central winner and WC #2 to knock off either Boston or NYY in the playoffs.

Finally a record that won't be broken for a while.

David Peralta is the first player of the Modern Era (1900) with 4+ hits and 2+ HR in a game with every hit coming in the 9th inning or later.

And the first player in the Modern Era with 11 total bases in the 9th inning or later.

I feel like there have been unlimited walkoff homeruns this year. That's your next project TC. Because I feel like it might be record breaking. I know there have been alot for sure.

Maybe it's because Albies isn't starting, but Atlanta's lineup doesn't look playoff-caliber to me. Charlie Culberson batting 2nd, Markakis/Suzuki/Inciarte batting 4/5/6 looks pretty weak. I wonder if Atlanta is struggling to score runs.

Mr. Exit Velocity -- David Bote gets the Cubs on the board early.

King Felix getting his brains beat in again tonight. Just retire already! Haven't felt like this since Jered Weaver was playing out the string.
