July 2017 MLB Game Thread
- Thread starter DanoooME
- Start date
michael taylor and brian goodwin have been doing a great job filling in for jayson werth, who is bound to come back eventually. their offense is amazing, i dont see them needing to spend prospects on another bat. their farm system got depleted over the winter as well, they don't have a lot to play with
Unless the Werth and Taylor injuries are worse than they're letting on, they have much bigger issues than adding another outfielder. With Ross out for the season, they could use a fifth starter and I still think they will try to add a closer so they can use Madson and Doolittle as set up arms.
Thy have for regulars with OPSing higher than .960. Harper and Rendon are above 1.000. They could use some bullpen help, but no reason to waste prospects on a half season LF rental. They have the NL East locked up(i know, anything can happen) but their bullpen is the clear weakness.

Todd Frazier made his Yankee debut in the 7th inning. Pinch hit for Torreyes and promptly struck out.

Nolan Arenado is OK. Through six innings, he's 5 for 5. In the fourth, he homered. In the fifth, he homered. In the sixth, he homered.

Mets and Cards tied at 2, bottom of the 9th. Mets have 1st and 3rd, two outs, sharp grounder down the first base line that Carpenter has to go into foul territory to grab. He turns around to make the routine flip to 1st...
and the pitcher (Rosenthal) isn't covering the bag. Ballgame.

Napoli just took a 82mph slider 6 inches off the plate outside and hit it out to left center. Dude is strong
As someone in a European time zone (EST +5), it bothers me a lot, since afternoon games are the only sensible way I can watch live baseball.

I am watching Sox in Two, to see what happened last night after I fell asleep. It appears that the Sox were done scoring.
Chris Archer gets Adrian Beltre to fly to deep center for the third out of the sixth, stranding two and protecting the TB 3-1 lead...
except Mallex Smith botches the ball, two runs score, Beltre winds up at second, and scores on two wild pitches from the thoroughly flustered Archer. 4-3 TEX.

Archer doesn't handle adversity all that well. 3 blown lead, one run gut punch losses to the Rangers this weekend. Total momentum killer.

Sources: Initial prognosis is that #Dodgers’ Kershaw will miss 4 to 6 weeks. Final determination will be made after he sees Dr. Watkins.

I like his emotion, but yeah, the closeup on him during the Smith play told it all. It's cool to live and die on each pitch/play, but you need to be able to bounce back when it doesn't go your way if you're going to be a legit ace.
Cody Bellinger hit a 3 run home run in the bottom of the 8th to give the Dodgers a 6-4 win over the Twins. It's the 47th consecutive win for the Dodgers when they have held a lead at some point in the game.
That homer made a winner out of 30 year old Edward Paredes, who threw a scoreless inning in his major league debut after spending 12 years in the minors.

Carlos Rodon with 11 strikeouts through 4. He has given up 7 hits, 4 runs, and walked 3 however.
Must be having Sox in your name. White Sox put runners on second and third, no out, then total squander. Cubs did replace Lackey with Carl Edwards after Lack allowed the second and third runners.
The Indians jumped out to 7-0 lead on the Angels in the 2nd inning, thanks in part to Bradley Zimmer's first career grand slam. Then they squandered the 7 run lead, blew several opportunities to score again, and headed into the bottom of the 11th inning… at which point Edwin Encarnacion hit a walk-off grand slam. After opening the 2nd half with a 1-5 West Coast trip against two last place teams, the Indians have won 5 in a row at home.
Honestly, nobody knows what the fuck was going on.... (I'm watching the dodgers channel) and they are stumped
Classic Dusty batting Goodwin (career OBP .308) and Difo (career OBP .332) 1-2 in front of Harper. Murphy batting 5th (OBP .390 this year and last), Rendon 6th (OBP .422 this year, .357 career). Want to maximinze ab for your weak hitters and make sure Harper bats with as few men on base as possible.
A MiLB ump, just tossed Bryce Harper who lost his mind ona strike 1 call and mailed on the next two pitches to strike out. Ha!!
Sounds like what the Giants did to catch the Dodgers in 1951 and force the 3 game playoff. 37-7 actually.
Nationals just hit 4 HR in a row and still only in the 1st innings with 0 out!
Edit: 3rd inning, not 1st.

This is pretty amazing, Rendon just made it 5 HR out of the last 6 batters. Daniel Murphy was the guy who spoiled things by making a fly ball out.
