Hmm...J.D. Martinez has 57 home runs in the past 365 days.

That would have been a nice signing. Oh well.

 

But then no Ohtani signing since he wanted to hit and pitch.

Meanwhile in Baltimore... Who's in charge?

Here's a nice comeback. The swooning Nats went down 9-0 to the Marlins and have stormed back with 14 unanswered runs.

Yet Harper creeps closer to the Mendoza line.

He’s been awful in 2018

Cards' Luke Weaver's perfecto, no-hitter, and shutout ended suddenly in the 6th inning, but St. Louis is still leading the Giants 9-2.

As just a baseball fan one of my growing pet peeves is pitchers (and more specifically relief pitchers) walking lead off guys with multi run leads.  A reds reliever walked the first two today with a three run lead, both nobodies too.  Both these guys ended up scoring as the 3 run lead went away.  Not a fan of either team but still get frustrated for crap like that.

I guess Cano just talked to the press for the first time since he was suspended. I did not know that when you are suspended for substance abuse, at least to the degree he was, that you are INELIGIBLE FOR THE PLAYOFFS. WOW, what a blow to Seattle!

Paxton just gave up a 3 run HR, Seattle losing 4-1 in the 7th to Colorado

Good, he hasn’t been nearly as unbeatable lately. 

[WeatherWonk]

Kluber shuts out the A's through seven and leaves with a 3-0 lead.

The bullpen promptly gives up two HRs in the eighth. 3-3, A's still batting.

I sure like Jed Lowrie. 

[Dick B Back]

Mark Reynolds today with 5 hits, 2 HRs, 10 ribbies versus the miserable Jeters.

Oh yeah, Harper 3 for 3 to put him at a whopping .219 AVG.
