August MLB Thread
- Thread starter DeadlySplitter
- Start date
Andres Gimenez has 3 hits in the first 4 innings today – a deep home run, an infield single on a routine grounder to short (Osleivis Basabe has made two terrible "errors that aren't errors" in the field in his debut) and then another infield single on a literal cue shot off the knob of the bat when he checked his swing. Diekman then added a 2-base throwing error to the last one.
The Rays schedule in September is really tough. Boston, Seattle, Minnesota, Toronto, Baltimore. 12 of their final 18 games on the road. They could definitely miss out.
EDIT: I just saw the thread was locked. There is a tweet and photos but I'd like to see major media reports before I delve in so I'm deleting

That twitter account isn't exactly a reputable source. Seems like they're just regurgitating other as yet unsubstantiated claims.
Tanner Bibee's last 10 starts: 2.09 ERA, .223/.296/.330 against. He's a serious rookie of the year candidate.
Oh darn, I had switched to the Baltimore game by then.
Yankees might be in danger of finishing below .500 for the first time since Julius Caesar's murder.
I thought the Marlins were making it interesting, but thought the Yankees would still win with that lead. They blew another Cole start.
The Marlins are 5 games above .500, but the six or seven times I have noticed them this year they have done something really good.
Questionable balk on Munoz puts runners at 2nd and 3rd for Baltimore in the 9th, and a Rutschman swinging squeeze bunt plates Mateo by about a millimeter, if that.
Well, arguably they used him against their best hitters, so I can see why they used him in the 8th.
I think with Tampa’s statement we can broach this now

I was convinced he was Brandon Philips 2.0 when the Sox got him. There's still time!
(Please do not take this as an invitation to discuss the M****e B***s trade with me.)
I know Ohtani gets a lot of attention -- rightly so, obviously! -- but it seems like we should be talking more about Matt Olson and his 43 home runs. He has 43 home runs in mid-August!
He has been one of their more reliable pitchers! I thought he might keep it close.
Look, momentum is only as good as tomorrow's starting pitcher. Now let me take a big sip of this water while I check tomorrow's probables.
More importantly, the Royals are three up on the Mariners. Be nice if the Mariners could fade and exit the WC race.
Knock on wood, but tonight is shaping up to be a good night for the Sox:
Mia 5, Hou 1, top 9
Atl 8, NYY 2, mid 6
Tex 3, LAA 0, bot 3
KC 3, Sea 0, end 4
