lol Sam Dyson gets smashed again, 4 runs 4 hits 3 walks got nobody out. Basically just handed the Red Sox a win

Pretty much.. while the Jays bullpen puts up zeroes a lot with Barnes/Tepera/Leone/Loup/Smith/Osuna, Rangers still can't their bullpen straightened out.. and this team won 10 in a row? Of course, beating garbage teams like San Diego, Oakland and Detroit help(two of the teams the Jays haven't seen yet).. this is the real Rangers team, bad bullpen and all..

Dyson was a tad bit salty in his post game interview, can't say I'd be any different though.

Nah I just saw it on Sportsnet after the highlights

Rangers pen is about to gift a sweep to the Red Sox and save Farrell's job for another week.. and 16Ks for Rangers hitters so far. Lineup's a mess without Carlos Gomez..

[P2F]

Brad Hand is a closer now.

May as well. They will do whatever they can to raise his trade value.

 

Koda Glover is the Nats new closer. Who knows how long.

2... 4 inning saves tonight, with the starter going 5 for the W. Wonder when the last time that's happened, never mind two on the same night, crazy!

 

Kenta Maeda/Hyun-Jin Ryu for the Dodgers, and Eddie Butler/Mike Montgomery for the Cubs... so , notice this was done by heavy analytic teams?

WTF is a 4 inning save? Doesn't this happen every time a starter goes 5 and a couple bullpen arms hold on for the win?

No, because the relievers in between get holds instead of saves. Only the last pitcher to enter the game in a save situation is the one who gets credited with a save. A 4 inning save just means a pitcher entered a game in a save situation, e.g. let's say he enters in a 1-run game in the 6th inning, gets through the inning, and then continues pitching for the duration of the game.

Wow!

 

Why'd you triple post me on that quote?

It could be a 10 run lead and you still get the save... anything at 3 innings or more, but you're right, regardless.

[TBJ12]

I've got satellite internet and it hates rain.

 

I thought you were listing the relievers who finished the game not starter/reliever. It's understood now.

I actually looked up C.Gomez's stats after this reference. I think - wow, he must be carrying over the success he had when he went to Texas last year.

 

Nope. wRC+ of like 102. How on earth is their lineup a "mess" without him?

[LGBJ29]

Passan just wrote and article about how the Yankees will be in a position to afford Harper and Machado in 2018. So that was a fun read

So, Astros utility man Marwin Gonzalez, who has barely slugged .400 in his career, hit his 11th home run last night (last year he had 13 in 518 PAs) and now has a SLG of .627. Another obscure player suddenly developing home run pop.

TJS for Twins flamethrower prospect Nick Burdi

Aaron Altherr is another.

Faaaaaack!

Altherr had that in his profile though, Marwin not so much... I doubt he sustains this power.

I get Vertigo just sitting in the nose bleeds. I takes all my nerve just to stand up and not feel like I'm going to tumble onto the field. I coudn't do what he did.

f*** sakes, people need to stop being a bunch of f***ing magpies. It's just a f***ing foul ball.

You wouldn't risk your life for a foul ball? What if you never got another chance?

The worst part is that these troglodytes endanger the people around them. He collides with the older man in front of him and could have easily catapulted him off the edge. Thankfully the guy had the wherewithal to grab hold of a seat as the idiot fell into him.
