Kluber probably returns to the majors sometime next week

Re: 8/5 - 8/18 Game Discussion Thread

Carlos Carrasco is close to making a return as well.

He's been throwing BP sessions and taking grounders, going to get some simulated stats next week

Indians still expect him back for the playoffs.

Tom Murphy's second home run last night was #5000 on the season.

Wow we might have a new worst strike call of the year. That strike 3 on Kemp wasn't remotely close

Turns out it was maybe the worst of all time

Not his first rodeo on horrific strike 3 calls as he was the ump for one of the other 3 worst calls of all time against Maddon when he was in Tampa. Maybe it's something against Maddon

Wow, Rafael Devers just homered and is now 8 for his last 8.

Re: 8/5 - 8/18 Game Discussion Thread

Xander Boegarts followed Raffy's home run earlier for his 100th career bomb.

Then decided to go ahead and get #101 as well.

Devers is the first Red Sox player since 1938 to record a hit in 8 straight plate appearances.

Grisham turns the Youtube game around on the Twins with a 3 run bomb off Romo. Brewers lead 6-5 in the 8th, still no one out.

Re: 8/5 - 8/18 Game Discussion Thread

Dodgers already up 3-0 on Miami. Turner hits a solo shot. Bellinger bunts against the shift for a base hit on the first pitch he sees, then Corey Seager hits a 2 run homer. All of this with 2 outs.

Road Cubs continue to do what they've done all year. 4-0 Phils in the 2nd and still threatening.

Re: 8/5 - 8/18 Game Discussion Thread

Hamels hasn't looked right since he got back. He was equally as bad vs Cincy.

the road stuff is hilarious at this point not really but might as well laugh at this crap i guess. now if they lose 2 out of 3 vs Pitt i will be mad online.

Re: 8/5 - 8/18 Game Discussion Thread

Well I guess Lester isn't the weak link in the rotation anymore
