I thought I posted this last night but apparently I didn’t send it.

What a crazy finish in the Cards/Reds game! A bases loaded balk ties the game then Wong walks it off!

One thing about the Tatis swing as well, if the Rangers came back and won and Tatis didnt swing, then what?

It's easy to be like "why are you still trying, we're down so much already", but we all know games aren't done until it's done.

What happens in Phillies game if someone was 3-0, up by 7, they didnt swing, then they lose? 7 run lead in the first, why bother tacking on runs?

This isnt little league with a mercy rule.

What's up with Pache bringing the bad weather with him?

Why does it feel like half the Jays losses this year are games in which theh blew the lead vs the Rays?

Re: 8/17 - 8/30 Game Discussion Thread

Maybe Jays were onto something.

How do they beat the Rays? From within. Former Blue Jay Aaron Loup has now screwed the Rays in 2 of his last 4 appearances vs the Jays.


Jays now have a 6 game winning streak! Their longest since the Bautista, Edwin,JD days! It's a week like this one which makes me miss having fans. After a streak like this, and being in a playoff race, fans would be packing the Rogers Centre.

And a 6 game win streak is like a 16 game win streak in a full season.

The rook is being treated kindly, hah. Must be the way Jeffers lowers when he lunges in his stride.

I swear there was this one SportsCenter highlight I watched where an umpire like... returned from some sort of health problem he once had or something, so it was his first game back in a long while. The game was at the Metrodome, he was behind home plate, and there was this borderline pitch where the batter took it and he straight up didn't make a call. The batter and catcher turn to him and he shrugs his shoulders like: "I dunno." I forget if it was a no-pitch or a ball.

didn't expect the Phillies to be buyers. I wanted us to trade for Workman. So much for trying to poach Realmuto from them now.

Also, Cronenworth was such a good find by AJ.

Phillies are not trading Realmuto.

I keep checking the Mariners and Rangers game to see if the Rangers are going to give up a grand slam again.

You know how NFL RedZone is a commercial-free program cutting to all live games where a drive is in the redzone?

Well, there should be one called MLB Bases Loaded. You'd never miss a pitch of any Rangers game.

Woodward wouldn't like that one.
