Dakota Hudson will try to pitch us to a sweep of the Pirates this afternoon.

I agree SportsForever, the Padres are fun to watch as are the White Sox. I could see both teams making the playoffs in this format and then "rocking the boat" when they are there.

Rangers get their 1st look at Corey Kluber today, as they go for the series opening win against the Rockies.

Do the Angels ever forgo the DH in these games when he pitches? Curious.

Re: 7/23 - 8/2 Game Discussion Thread

In my head, I keep thinking Blake Snell's name is "Ian Snell," and Jeff McNeil's name is "Scoot McNeil."

Why do I think these things???

EDIT: Okay, I'm re-realizing that Ian Snell was actually a pitcher. At least that one makes sense; I was thinking for a second that I just made up that name. I can't explain "Scoot," though. That just popped up out of nowhere.

On the other hand, Scoot actually was quite the colorful character with himself yesterday in his extra innings at-bat.

I do that every time about Blake Snell, and I have even talked to the guy over face time! (Probably my best story for "meeting" a professional athlete, lol)

Man...the Padres are an exciting team and I could see them really making some noise in this set up. Digging the new threads as well...

The plate discipline this season has been fantastic.

Never realized this before. After 2 games, there's a 13 way tie for 2nd in the AL. 13 teams are 1-1.

Of course the Astros had to be the only team who is 2-0 in the AL.

I can't yet tell if I like the Cubs' Marquee Sports Network scorebug or not.





It has decent flair, but I kind of take forever perusing it to look for what I'm trying to find, hah.

Doing the math, each game counts as 2.7 regular games.

So Mariners currently have a 5.4 game losing streak.

that's not fair, they should be forced to play with 10 players at a time just like everybody else *half-serious/half-jokingly*

I do that every time about Blake Snell, and I have even talked to the guy over face time! (Probably my best story for "meeting" a professional athlete, lol)

how much money does he charge to that? *half-serious/half-serious*

Re: 7/23 - 8/2 Game Discussion Thread

Never been a fan of powder blue, and the Rangers uniforms are no exception.

Furthermore, I'm absolutely never a fan of pants that aren't white (home) or gray (road). Pinstripes are okay, but that's the extent of color which I prefer seeing.
