Brandon Belt had a record-breaking 21 pitch AB last night.

 

 

didn't Richie Ashburn foul off 18 in a row, hitting a woman in the head and then hitting her in the head as they stretchered her out of the stadium.......

I think the Nats will be fine. Its a tough thing to be without Eaton, Murphy, and Rendon

 

The problem is that the NL East is much stronger this year--Nats need to do better than they've been. Outside of Miami, there are no more pushovers--the Mets, Braves and Phillies have significantly improved, meaning Washington is facing its first real threat in 3 years.. the bigger issue is that this may be their last chance, as Bryce Harper is a free agent at season's end, and it's very unlikely the Nats will be able to afford him--and the roster around him is facing significant losses this offseason, which will leave the Nationals gutted and headed for a significant rebuild.

 

It's the same problem that is hitting Baltimore with Machado--but worse, as the O's are already awful.

Bwahahaha... Carlos Gomez with his walk-off HR today, it's a must see... love it!

Lol that's awesome. I hate that this kind of thing is frowned upon.

 

Agreed

 

What's wrong with celebrating. And he directed it as his own dugout. Not against the pitcher

 

Fine by me

 

Fine by me as well but Carlos Gomez has been doing this s*** for years. Including when he was a member of the Texas Rangers during the year they lost their marbles at Bautista for doing a cool bat flip. Not sure why I'm pointing this out other than the fact that the Rangers suck.

Angels bullpen loses Blake Wood to the DL due to an elbow impingment. Huge blow for an overworked Angels bullpen, especially for one who was pitching well. And thanks to Jaime Barria's 21 pitch at-bat with Brandon Belt, the Angels were forced to have the bullpen throw 7 innings yesterday--at the worst possible time, when they're about to play the top tier Houston Astros.

 

To get fresh arms, Eduardo Paredes is back with the club (injury callup), and Justin Anderson has been rushed up from the minors to give the bullpen a fresh arm, despite having just 3.2 IP in AAA. This is what happens when your bullpen has thrown 99.2 IP so far this year (worst in MLB).

 

And now their SP depth has been depleted more--Parker Bridwell is now hurt as well with elbow issues. The nightmares of injury issues with the Angels continues..

I wish there was a font called Wilmer.

 

I have to admit that I've previously searched Google for this and come away empty-handed, much to my dismay.

The promising Tyler Skaggs went 7 innings in a 2-0 win over the Astros yesterday and Ohtani pitches tonight. Those 2 and Richards need to hold the rotation together until help comes from either injury returns or a trade.

I benched Skaggs in fantasy. Didn't trust him as a lefty on the road against the Stros who generally kill lefties. :(

Not sure where else to post this but I need steals in a fantasy league and Delino DeShields and Michael A. Taylor are both on the waiver wire. Which one should I pick up?

All 7 of his dongers have come at home, and they've all been pulled into that ridiculous short porch. Not saying he's not a good player, but that ******** stadium is the story here more than anything else.

Which league is this, i have Taylor in both BORED and BBDL. Has both power and speed and heating up of late. Playing time a potential issue, but he's my pick, FWIW

I thought i heard them saw more than half of his Yankees HRs have been on the road.

 

Yankees have the egregious right field porch, the Jays the whole stadium as a bandbox.

Poor Ryan Flaherty

 

Posting a career high (and unsustainable obviously) slash line of .339/.446/.468 but in a few days they'll put Bautista at full time 3B and move Flaherty to a utility tole

 

Also Flaherty is a positive defender according to fangraphs

His road numbers have been trash, like... seriously trash (yes, small sample size applies...)

All 7 were at home, and all 7 were to right field (one is a bit towards right centre, but y'know...
