I'd like to thank the Twins for keeping from having to watch 8 innings against Cleveland.
It's almost as if people are the problem.

I tuned in for some afternoon baseball. I lasted about 5 seconds when I saw they were about to invoke the mercy rule.

That they'd be tied with the Giants for 1st in the West?

They murdered the umpire with a foul ball. Haven't seen that in a long time.

No run support. Feel like I've seen this before. Degrom should just walk around the dugout and punch people.

Story of his career. Worst run support of any pitcher in MLB history. There were like 29ks in that game. They really need to do something about the offense.

Sorry it was a combined 30 strikeouts. There's just too many strikeouts now it's not fun to watch. Sure this was Degrom but this is a lot of games.

Re: MLB 2021 Regular Season
Meanwhile, pitching lines for the Cubs last night:
Actual pitchers (2 - Hendricks, Mills): 6 IP, 16 H, 10 R, 10 ER, 1 BB, 5 K, 5 HR
Position players (3 - Rizzo, Duffy, Sogard): 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 0 HR
The one K for the position players was Rizzo striking out Freeman.

Red Sox are 8-1 on the road, and 8-8 at home. Seems like they should stay away more often.

Re: MLB 2021 Regular Season
The starting pitching for the Giants has been really good, just about every start is a quality start. Bullpen (the main issue for years) has been a lot better too, though still sketchy sometimes. Of course, the Dodgers have long had bullpen issues as well.
Buster Posey also looks to be back to his All Star levels again as well, which has been missing for a couple of years. The extra time off really helped him. currently hitting .351 with an OPS of 1.080. Haven't seen that from him in awhile.

Mets are off and play in Philly tomorrow. Maybe they can muster more than two hits tomorrow. One can dream.

Eh, it will make it more fun when they finally play.

Geez last time I looked the Dodgers had like 2 losses. Guess they had a rough 2 weeks when I wasn't paying attention.

Same - last time I read about the Dodgers it was an article that was asking whether they had a shot at breaking the single-season wins record. That was all of like 2 - 3 weeks ago.

On the plus side, they still have a shot at the blown saves record.

Huh? They've only had two blown saves. Most of the time they are already losing by the time the 9th rolls around.

Re: MLB 2021 Regular Season
I was greatly amused that the Phils won the other day when the only runs they scored were on a two-out strikeout (of their pitcher!) with a passed ball.
Lucky for you tonight they decided that after a four-run comeback they could trot out their "closer" in the ninth.

Re: MLB 2021 Regular Season
Not the season I was hoping for so far, but a long way to go. Lindor has been total garbage hitting so far, but I expect that will change soon. They fired their hitting coaches last night and if things don't improve soon I could see the manager getting the boot too.
They are all holdovers from the old owners so ya I wouldn't make any large purchases.
In unrelated news there have been some horrible injuries. May out for the season needing TJ and Roberts likely out the season as well with a busted hip. That's an odd injury and would hope it doesn't impact the rest of his career. May I would be less worried about as TJ seems to just be a rite of passage now sadly.

Re: MLB 2021 Regular Season
Yeah everyone knew it was bad when it happened, including May. Well he's very young, so a long career still ahead of him. I don't think Kershaw has had TJ at least not as a pro. But most of them have unfortunately.

Re: MLB 2021 Regular Season
Mets scored 5 runs by the middle of the 3rd and lost? That should be enough runs for them to win 3 or 4 games. Sheesh.
Robert? Torn hip flexor isn't common but they happen. Should be able to fully recover.

Ya wasn't sure. Hip injuries are no joke as Bo Jackson would know. And those runs would have gotten two Degrom losses to be wins.
He's pitching tonight so there's no chance they score more than 2.

Re: MLB 2021 Regular Season
Degrom scratched due to a stiff side. So we should score 900 runs. I will die if he's actually really injured.
*Edit* Rain delay. For the record this is the second time Degrom was "injured" for a rain delay. The negative side of me thinks that he's more worried about trying to get into the HOF than anything else.

Re: MLB 2021 Regular Season
Kershaw didn't make it out of the first inning. Shortest (but not the worst) inning of his career. He kind of sucked, but the defense behind him was not good. If the SS makes the play he should have made, there would have been a double play and Kershaw would have been charged with only 2 runs. As it was, he was charged with four runs and exited stage left.

4 runs and they pulled him? Seems a bit extreme, but I haven't looked at the box score.

Re: MLB 2021 Regular Season
The outcome of yesterday's double-header between the Cubs and Dodgers was obviously great (although I suspect Lorini might disagree), but despite that I still have some gripes. First, I still don't like the 7 inning double headers. Second, I absolutely loathe the runner on second to start extra innings rule.

LTTP, but a pitcher can get charged with a blown save before the 9th inning. By that metric, the Dodgers already have 9 blown saves.

I've watched a few extras this year and when the extra innings runner walks off, it is so unsatisfying. Especially if it's in the 8th. It's like hearing the first 17 seconds of
