The Cardinals just continue to roll along. Beat the Giants 1-0 last night.

Lol the Mets entered the bottom of the 9th with a 99.7% chance to win the game.

Through 2 innings, Mookie has seen 2 pitches. He's sent both over the Green Monster.

He's one more home run tonight from tying the MLB record for most career 3-HR games. He's only 26.

If the Marlins and Pirates play a game in September does anyone care? Looking at the PNC Park attendance, not really

Last night, Jorge Soler broke the Royals record for home runs in a season.

He hit his 39th, passing Mike Moustakas' 38 from 2017.

Lots of Braves fans here...I think it's time to admit AA was right about Donaldson over Comargo.

He always was right. Never understood that criticism at all.

Last night Michael Lorenzen hit a HR, played in the field, and got the pitching win.

He's the first player to do so since Babe Ruth in 1921.

I can’t believe how empty SunTrust is tonight...maybe a late arriving crowd or the hurricane having an impact?

Would love to hear why Acuna is jogging to 1st as the Nats turn an easy DP in a key game...love the guy, but he's got to get over himself.

Good to see Addison Russell airmailing throws over 1B to go along with his lack of hitting. Guy is a wasted roster spot.

Re: 9/2 - 9/15 Game Discussion Thread

So this morning I only saw last night's highlights of the ChiSox-Tribe game and not the actual game, but it was the second time in just a few days where I've seen a runner on third didn't tag up on a fly ball, and didn't score because of it.

This situation was slightly different though, and arguably him scoring doesn't impact the game's overall outcome (top of the ninth, down by two runs, one out, bases loaded). It wouldn't be the tying run, and the runner on second wouldn't be tagging to go to third anyway. Even still, you're costing your player his batting average and an RBI. That matters to them when they feel they've earned it.

The worst excuse in these situations that I hear is: "I thought it was going to fall." There are so many things wrong with that excuse, the first being it didn't fall, and because of it you didn't score." The guy could've crabwalked home had he tagged up.

I hope to see a shot of the third base coach screaming his head off to tag in that situation, just to exonerate him in the process.

If I remember correctly, Max Fried was the first piece of the rebuild. Seems fitting that he’s growing into an ace.

I agree...it's incredible to see him develop/grow this year. Would love to see Atlanta let him, Soroka, and one of the other minor leaguers develop and go sign Cole in the offseason.
