Arenado made the all-star roster!!
I'm bias, but Story and Blackmon got jammed.

CO doesn't have enough voters.
We shoulda used some of that 'election meddling' stuff.

[SkiBall]

Oakland fans were like "Damn, that is some massive foul territory".
Nice glare as well.

as boston scores 4 in the 8th and brought tying run to the plate, you were saying ?

so WTH is with London baseball ? I did not watch game 1, but game 2, not every ball is a home, many are dropping in, many are getting thru the infield and many infield plays are botched by MLB players and we are now at 50 runs with an inning to go. looks like sloppy fielding has let some runs score but not 50. you'd figure despite the flight and time lost, relief pitchers on both sides could go 2 and 3 innings.

I stand by it. What do they have, 17 or 18 blown saves now? If they had half of that they’d be in first place.

Take this for what it’s worth, but I think Joe Buck said yesterday the new turf was really fast. So that is some of it. Anything hit even slightly hard was to the wall. I imagine it wasn’t giving true bounces either for the infield.

[Benny Profane]

Well, thank God they don't have to play that turf anymore.

I guess the Yanks won the AL - Europe. Does that mean they're already in the playoffs?

[Benny Profane]

That whole affair was really dumb. The commish said there will be one next year, maybe not London. I think he thinks he's David Stern, but, he's not. Some good reporter has to investigate the why this happened. I suspect, money, greed, and a great lack of creative, intelligent marketing.

They won the Joe Buck/A-Rod/Smoltzy hearts and minds

[Timberridge]

They should put the entire Yankee lineup in the HR derby.

Sad news about Tyler Skaggs today. 27yro. Just pitched two days ago, and now gone.

Cards-Cubs next season. Guessing Doyers-Gigantes after that.

Did he just visit the D.R.?

Texas. Close enough I guess.

Angels have lost something like seven (7) active players during the franchise's existence. I vividly recall Lyman Bostock's death in 1978. My favorite player on that Angel's team.

[iceman]

...seven (7)

Thanks for clarifying.

[Timberridge]

The Mets thought they lost two players.

[BmillsSkier]

And yet they keep paying another long after his career died.

[iceman]

What was all that about Devers not fielding? boom

[ex-powderbroker]

i missed it.
btw, what happened across the pond?

I remember him, he was an excellent hitter. I had him on a couple of my Strat-O-Matic teams

[iceman]

@ml: Yankees won 2 games I heard. Congrats.

[Woodsy]

Got 60?

[alias_rice]

Got 60?

Their streak of 5 straight home walkoffs ended last night, but they hit 60 so I’m guessing the home fans won’t complain. I could see them taking the division by 25 games if they keep it up.

[dunfree]

seems crazy there's no daygames today

[Woodsy]

. I could see them taking the division by 25 games if they keep it up.

shhhhhh

[Supermoon]

Today in the Mets being the Mets: Their minor league team set fire to their stadium doing a fireworks show. Again.
