Around Baseball 2018

Reyes comes off the bench after an injury and hits 2 home runs today. Definitely not among the things I expected to see.

[tercet]

Is Hech finally done at 29?

 

If so I think both myself and bts were right/wrong on a few topics.

nobody cares, mate

[Abomination]

Reyes became the second person in history to hit multiple home runs a day after giving up multiple home runs.

Wade Davis legit suxxxxxxxx what are the Rockies doing?

Wade Davis legit suxxxxxxxx what are the Rockies doing?

 

They paid him a s*** load of money to do the job hes not doing well. Adam Ottavino should have taken over that role 6 weeks ago.

 

Rince and repeat for relievers in Colorado. Next up they are paying Jeurys Familia 4 years 60M

Steve Pearce is putting on a show at Fenway against the Yankees.

[onwego]

Rarity for the scorecard, Red Sox Martinez only runner on second, one out,

 

Routine ground ball to short and he gets thrown out 6-4 failing to hustle back to second

 

Big brain fart against a struggling Sabathia

[onwego]

Yankees and Red Sox are both going to attack the ump Bellino for his floating strike zone,

[onwego]

2nd and 3rd none out for Boston, grounded right to pitcher Holder who panics and throws it behind Bradley on third and he scores......

 

Wake up!!!

 

Followed by not even noticing Benintendi stole second off him, had to be the loudest “step off” yelled in baseball history

 

And a three run tater by Peace, his second blast of he night

Good for him. I like that Steve Pearce.

[glory]

Even numbered year Steve Pearce is a real thing. 2014, 2016, and 2018. Don't sign him next year.

[Brownie19]

3 home runs for Pearce.

[Brownie19]

OMG - that play be Kinsler. Pearce's face says it all.

Just a lazy 161 wRC+ this year (after the 3 hrs tonight)

[Jonn]

If Pearce could only stay on the field consistently. I still hate that hes helping the Red Sox

[TheHurl]

If it weren't for the fact that I think Seattle is going to nosedive, it would be kind of fun to see the Yankees lose a wildcard spot.

[4thOFan]

Pearce is a stud

[Sammy225]

Pearce has always been a good ball player he just can't stay healthy which has sucked. Hope to see him finish strong if anyone deserves it its him.

Mike Trout doesn't know what you're talking about.

[Terminator]

Steve Pearce in 118 games as a Blue Jay: 0.3 fWAR

He was good in 2016. In 2017 he signs w the Jays and is replacement level for a season and a half. Gets traded to the Red Sox and is good again.

[Key22]

Mike Trout doesn't know what you're talking about.

 

Imagine his fwar tripling on a good team!

another team has snuck up into the conversation in Seattle's division

 

Yankees will go on a 7-1 tear for a homestand soon to seal it all off

I've been saying for over a month that someone would pass Seattle, I just thought it would be funny if the Yankees missed the playoff in a season when everyone is blowing them. Seattle is not a good team and now they have been passed. They have the least home games remaining of everyone in the race and have a nasty 4 game set in Houston next week and then fly straight to Oakland for 3. In total 20 of Seattle's remaining games are against Houston and Oakland.

thanks Hurl, I'll keep this in mind for remaining games...

 

that was depressing last night, neither team at Fenway could put a confident starter on the hill and the mental errors were piling up for both teams.

Bill Spaceman Lee at the age of 71 is starting for the Champions in Ottawa if anyone is in the area. He will be relieved by Oil Can Boyd. Rondell White and Cliff Floyd are there as well.

 

EDIT: The game is September 3rd not tonight. https://ottawacitizen.com/sports/baseball/former-expos-stars-to-check-in-for-ottawa-champions-season-finale/wcm/b1fb9e57-a664-4538-ba06-34e085a6adf6

The real question is if he will be available for the Jays 5 days from now.

[Abomination]

Lol, fiery start to the NYY-BOS game.
