Keep up the good work, Jaime!

This one has me worried.

The Dogs lineup is too good to shut down a second game.

It's also too good to be 1-12 in extra inning games, but they are. 

Weird stuff happens all the time in baseball, which is just one of many reasons why I love it so.

A Dodger sweep is in the making.

Despite Heaney giving up 4 runs after his first 2innings, the Yankees beat Seattle 5-4...

Surprisingly, he gave up a 1st inning HR.

Bounce the Blue Again-Again!!!

Upton is leading off again.  This is a wacky lineup (so of course it'll score 10+ runs now that I've said that...)

Yes, and I still stand by my position that Barria should have been a mainstay in the rotation the last three years.  He is a solid back of rotation pitcher. Still have a bad feeling tonight.

[Erstad Grit]

Yeah that Dodger line-up is crazy stacked. Need to not walk guys and make them swing. 

Looking for 6 innings 1 run from Barria!

[tdawg87]

I have diarrhea.

[Revad]

I was thinking of Taco Bell earlier.

Don’t say such negative things. You’ll mess with Barrias confidence.

He was demoted after being 3.43 era 123 era+ as a 21 year old.  Because his team preferred a washed up Harvey, Cahill and a shitty Stratton.  When he was called up they didnt have confidence to start him.  

After a shitty season he wasn't given another chance to start until September.  Because the team wanted Tehran to pitch.   He becomes teams second best pitcher.  

Gets demoted again because they preferred a shitty Quintana, and Heaney. Finally gets his chance to be a starter in late July and gives up 2 runs in 14 innings.

I highly doubt concerns of facing the doga by me will be anyworse.

Just a side note, but for those who hadn't heard this morning Japan beat USA for Olympic Baseball gold.

Fire Scioscia.

Congratulations Ohtani Shohei and your home country.
