Around the League Gameday Thread

Dodgers pen was absolutely humiliated by the Pirates on Sunday night. Jim Johnson was charged with 8 runs.

Cubs complete 4 game sweep of the WS Champs to go 10 for the last 11.

 

Take em into October, Joe!

After being swept over the weekend by the Cubbies, SF needs to take all that frustration out on their next opponent... The Astros.

Go Giants!

Is this where the Astros crumble?

They're back end of the bp has taking a hot steaming dump lately. They all haven't been used this much before (for the most part). They're hit or miss bats have been missing more than hitting. The dog days are here fellas. This is where that Sosh roster full of vet presence shows up?

Astros get Bumgarner tomorrow in a pitchers part at sf.

But we have sale today :/

That's good. Minute Maid park is a joke. At least they're being rid of the ridiculous hill (massive injury hazard to all 29 other teams not accustomed to sprinting uphill or avoiding flag poles in play)

Rob Manfred needs to eliminate the Crawford boxes as well. Too easy to just stock up on right handed pull hitters and get cheap home runs. They could perhaps install clear Lexan walls to raise the height of the fence without blocking any views

He knows how to get the best out of his players, and he's an excellent field manager.

Danny Valencia 8-17, 2 HR's since being claimed by Oakland...

Mad Bum!

Mad Bum!

 

That's a tall order for Kazmir, or any pitcher. The Giants need to start winning again. They don't lose often at home.

I like SF in this series after being swept in Chicago. Back to the big ballpark and heavy air they are used to.
In related news..
Fans in Fresno seem to be liking the switch from being the Giants AAA club, to becoming the Astro's farm team.
Lots of talent in that org, as they are 20 games over .500 (new record) after 114 games.
 
Check out taco night, which drew more fans than Soccer there, which is unheard of.

Indians have the winning run on 2nd with one out in the bottom of the 14th vs the Yankees. A-Rod and Teix are a combined 1-11.

[fan_since79]

Padres pitcher making his ML debut was staked to a 11-0 lead after three innings. San Diego is still leading 11-3 in the 6th inning.

So everyone lost in the AL West yesterday but the Mariners helped us out big time

Why did most of us (me too) freak out last night? Bc mensa mike's line ups?

[Homebrewer]

Doesn't matter what other teams do if you can't score a few runs and beat a team like the Wsox.

[Homebrewer]

Giants-Astros

0-0 ^6th

[nando714]

Why isn't the Astros giants game on mlb network. My tv guide says its supposed to be. Uverse

[Homebrewer]

free game of the day on mlb.tv (unless you are in giants territory like me)

[Homebrewer]

Astros make a dumb baserunning error, to stupid themselves out of the inning.

[nando714]

free game of the day on mlb.tv (unless you are in giants territory like me)

Then they should show the Mariners o's. It says that's the alternate game. I hate tv sometimes

[Homebrewer]
