Max joins 3000th Strikeout List!

 

What a career!

[BTS]

Very pleased that Hosmer will be memorialized as Mad Max's 3000th K.

[Jonn]

Oh yea and he’s throwing a perfect game through 5 innings. Not bad.

[thatoneguy]

Make that 6 innings.

[BTS]

This is must-watch TV

[G-Snarls]

Max joins 3000th Strikeout List!

 

What a career!

 

First ballot HOF secured

[thatoneguy]

A perfecto with a 3000th K and an immaculate inning would be an absurd set of coincidences.

[BTS]

I f***ing despise Eric Hosmer

[Solaxys]

Hosmer's revenge for being the 3000th K

Vlad needs to get it done a bit more with the bases packed.. I don’t give a fudge what you guys say, if he wins Triple Crown and Kays go to playoffs, he’s getting it. Been done 1x in last 50+ years. Guys will say Ohtani can win it another year

If he wins triple crown and Jays make the playoffs I think the MVP voting will be a lot closer... still think Ohtani wins though. Lots can change in 3 weeks, lets see how they finish

Wat?

When's the last time someone went 40-100-100-25 while putting up a 3-win season on the mound in 25 starts?

[connorp]

Wat?

 

Just means he needs more rbi, I’ve never knocked Vlad even when it was the cool kid thing to do

It’ll be close as s*** but the playoff thing will come into play.

It would take you 30 seconds to look it up and see he has a .440 wOBA with runners in scoring position

[King]

 

Is this good?

[Olerud363]

Manny used to drive in 165 with similar stats, I guess Lofton, Omar, and Alomar helped with like .400ish on base percentages and only 40 homers between them.

 

Semien with a .340 on base and almost 40 homers is just too much of a base un-clogger. Same with Springer with a .350 on base and power.

If we want Vlad to win the triple crown need to get Biggio healthy and back to 2020 form, and maybe get Austin Martin back, but neither can weight lift. Some how see if you can get Nimmo from the Mets.

 

Line up is

 

Nimmo

Martin

Biggio

Vlad

[BTS]

Somehow Joey Gallo only now just hit his second career sac fly.

This is unbelievable

[BTS]

This is unbelievable

 

I had to double check because I thought for sure the SNB crew was wrong.

[Laika]

Are we sure baseball reference isn't wrong?

 

I just don't even believe it. How could that be true.

[Laika]

lol @ the Yankees having Gary Sanchez catch a rookie like Schmidt

[John_Havok]

lol @ the Yankees having Gary Sanchez catch a rookie like Schmidt

 

Did you catch Sanchez’s ultra awful tag at the plate yesterday? Runner was gunned by 20 feet, Sanchez literally stepped aside and let him slide under the tag.

[BTS]

This game has been absolutely terrible, and MLB should be embarrassed.

[Orgfiller]

Clarke Schmidt is kind of awful.

[BTS]

Clarke Schmidt is kind of awful.

 

So far tonight:

 

- Schmidt being awful

- Sanchez can't catch

- multiple mistakes in the field

- Carrasco walking a pitcher who hasn't had a PA since high school

- An interview with Doc Gooden where the feed cuts out and we couldn't hear s***

- A-rod on the broadcast

- an hour and 20 minutes to play two innings

[King]

Sunday Night Baseball being completely terrible has been a ongoing theme this season. I just tune in every week to see how bad it is.

The problem with the playoffs is that every game all of a sudden feels and sounds like Sunday Night Baseball.
