Speaking of hitting catchers, Grandal today went 4-4 2 HRs and 8 RBIs.

What's in the dodgers water coolers? They're all dropping bombs. Did big mac give them his secret sauce?

Many predicted a big year from grandal. Dude can hit

[Hoops McCann]

Puig, Pederson, Kershaw, soon to be Corey Seager and Julio Urias. Add in the fact they can spend more money than anybody else. Will be hilarious if they somehow don't end up winning at least one WS over the next several years

Depends on how many times they have to meet the Cardinals in the post-season:)

[Dick B Back]

Remember the posts about the best hitter hitting 2nd in the lineup? Well, today Arizona has Trumbo in the 2 hole and of course he hit a HR in his first AB.

It all makes sense somehow in somebody's universe.

Dan Haren hit a double knocking in two. Has more RBIs than Iannetta. That is all.

[Dick B Back]

Haren now has 2 hits in the game and his AVG is 60 points higher than Iannetta. Geez..

[Stradling]

So in your previous post when you said, "that is all", It in fact wasn't "all"?

[Angel Dog and Beer]

tricky Dick.

[Dick B Back]

Its true, I am officially calling myself a liar!

There never seems to be a "that is all" where Iannetta is concerned.

So for today I noticed it doesn't take speed to be a run scorer... Kendrys Morales is currently 2nd in the AL in runs scored, just one behind league leader Mike Trout.

Disagree with #7, strongly disagree with #5.

[Dick B Back]

Cool, we can agree on disagreeing.

[bloodbrother]

Damn, Bryce with 2 more HR's today. That's 5 in last 2 games

[Dick B Back]

Harper with 2 more HRs along with 5 RBIs today.

Torii 4-4 with a HR and 4 RBIs today as the Twins (yeah those Twins) continue to roll.

Edit: Sorry Blood, you beat me to the punch on Harper.

Hamels bests Harvey. How many more starts will Hamels get before being moved?

[DW711]

A.J. Grffin left his start..but might be ok

 

Jarrod Parker left his start in the 6th inning. He probably won't be ok...the way it's described almost sounds like a broken arm so that's just great.

[Hollyw00d]

Harper having a massive week

Just hit a walk off jack

[Dick B Back]

Ryan Zimmerman was feeling bad for Weaver so he gave up 9 H, 7 ER in 2.1 IP.  Lester was feeling it too... 10 H, 6 ER in 6 IP.

 

Your ERA Leaders

 

Bumgarner 5.40

Kershaw 5.84

Lester 7.84

Zimmerman 8.64

Weave 8.71

 

Now that Weaver got his stuff straight, let's see how these boys are doing now:

 

Bumgarner 3.03

Kershaw 3.72

Lester 4.04

Zimmerman 4.15

Weaver 4.98

 

They all seem to be moving in the right direction from where they were about a month ago.

[Hollyw00d]

None of them beside bum look all that great tho

[Angel Oracle]

Cards = Kershaw's kryptonite.

[Lou]

David Price left gamewith hamstring injury
