Around Baseball 2023

[jaysblue]

So weird how today is an off-day for a lot of teams around baseball. Not a full slate of games today.

it is odd

They moved a bunch of the Sunday games to Saturday in hopes to avoid Hurricane Hilary

Ah that's why there were a lot of doubleheaders yesterday. Got it!

oh. thanks that makes sense then

[BigCecil]

After a slow start with the DBacks Pham slugging .633 over the last 7 games and starting to pick it up. We'll see if the nutcase can keep it up.

 

Season OPS+ 123. Could have used that bat in this line vs LHP.

100% wanted him here, Grichuk on the other hand hasn't done much

Wasn't too keen on Grichuk coming back.

 

On another note I saw a stat today that Elvis Andrus has 2069 career hits. Didn't expect that. I'll always be grateful to him for 2015 Gm 5 vs TEX.

Wait, I thought after only ONE week being awful with the D'Backs, it was a horrendous pickup?

 

Yet Varsho over one week hit .316 so all is forgiven for his awful April, May, June and July

[Laika]

Couple of Blue Jays spies trying to sewer Seattle today.

 

Saucedo give up some runs now Thornton in... let's see if he gets f***ed.

 

Seems like Hancock got hurt

[jaysthebest]

We are 0.5 games back of the Mariners and 1 game behind the Astros. There's a chance the Astros to miss the playoffs.

[BTS]

Yankees just lost their 8th straight

The Jays own the tiebreaker over the Astros but not over the Mariners. So the Jays are actually closer in the standings to the Astros now. If all 3 finish in a 3 way tie, then the Mariners and Jays would advance as both own the season series over the Astros. Rooting for the Astros demise seems more fun anyway.

Have to think they shut down Judge soon.

[Terminator]

Have to think they shut down Judge soon.

 

Yeah by the time we play all those games against them at the end of the year they might be scaling back Cole, Judge and others.

Glad the Astros are now more within reach

 

Hoping to see the Rays fall back too with all the players they have MIA but their schedule is a little easy over the next 10 days too

[jaysthebest]

I don't think the Yankees will sit Cole since he is a legit cy-young candidate.

[Masterbather]

The Rangers are still in play, Tampa Bay is still in play for teams that could end up missing the playoffs, that's the level of competition.

 

And there was some people who actually thought the path to the playoffs would be relatively easy this year, and this is with the Yankees all but out of it, though Boston is hanging tough also.

[Terminator]

The playoffs will be easy to make.

[G-Snarls]

The playoffs will be easy to make.

 

The playoffs are never actually easy to make are they

[Masterbather]

The playoffs will be easy to make.

 

You knew that day it was first written that those words would live on in infamy.

[hanton]

Orioles padding some stats vs the A's

 

Gunnar is a single away from the cycle

[hanton]

Gunnar Henderson with his 4th extra base hit so he won't get the cycle. he needed a single and ended up with a dobule

 

This team is firing on all cylinders

 

Braves

Dodgers

Orioles

....

 

 

what company

[The Cats Ass]

Orioles padding some stats vs the A's

 

Gunnar is a single away from the cycle

 

Gave up the cycle to add another double instead. While being up 11-1

[gruber92]

Respect to Gunner for not holding up at first for a single and the cycle, instead he pretty easily took second for the double. The dugout was all over him on why he didn't stop at first. Gunner plays the game the right way, looks good on the kid.

[hanton]

couldn't hold up on that, clear double

[gruber92]

Gunner is hitting sixth in the top of the ninth. It'll be cool if he gets another shot at the cycle. I think he deserves it and the baseball Gods should make it so.

Lol why..

As do I, then I hope he proceeds to foul a ball off his dick and miss the entire Jays series. f*** him.

[gruber92]

Lol why..

 

Meh, he seems like a good kid.
