And Perez gives up a dinger to Starling Marte with 2 outs in the top of the 18th, 2-1 PIT now.Speaking of names you forgot were still out there, Oliver Perez now pitching for Washington

And yet all he seems to do is pinch hit. He's had 2 starts all of July (7/2 and yesterday).Ichiro now 9 hits from 3,000
Who should he start over? The three starters are all younger and better than him (Stanton/Ozuna/Yelich). Even with his impressive .829 OPS, he is still fourth out of those four, and obviously they are the future while he is not.And yet all he seems to do is pinch hit. He's had 2 starts all of July (7/2 and yesterday).
And he's down to needing just 6 hitsAnd yet all he seems to do is pinch hit. He's had 2 starts all of July (7/2 and yesterday).
Also in favor of Ichiro mostly pinch-hitting is that the longer it takes him to get to 3000, the more tickets they can presumably sell.And he's down to needing just 6 hits
True, although they don't get back home until FridayAlso in favor of Ichiro mostly pinch-hitting is that the longer it takes him to get to 3000, the more tickets they can presumably sell.
Giving up 4 in the 9th to lose 4-3 after scoring one run combined in their previous four games, that is about as bad as a five game stretch can get.Sale with a one hitter through 8 innings, White Sox lead 3-1 in the bottom of the ninth at Seattle.
David Robertson allows a 3 run homer to Adam Lind, Seattle wins. Tough one for Sale.

Bonus: Pedro on the call at MLB network's MLB tonight. And he is angry that in 1999 two guys did not vote for him as MVP. He was asked if he knew who they were and did not answer. Pretty sure he does.
Also, he analyzed Chris Archer very thoroughly. Mr. Henry, the Sox could use him as pitching coach.
The ball hit of his head and went to the left fielder. It seems that it's better for it to bounce and go a ways then for the ball to make contact and just drop.Taillon took a 105 mph come backer off the back of his head in the second inning but went on to go 6 innings giving up 5 hits, no walks and one ER.
Of course, and if Miami wasn't in the playoff hunt, he might actually find a team to take him, no DH and all. As it is, good luck.If A-Rod does get cut, do you think he'd try to sign with another team just to get to 700?
Good time of year for a five day vacation.Sale suspended 5 games by White Sox.

By gum, you are correct. Thank you for correcting me. Just an hour ago, I caught the end of a story on NPR about his quest for 3,000 hits. They surely did imply that he was on the very edge of the accomplishment ... but I guess 2996 _is_ pretty close, isn't it?Pretty sure he's still at 2,996.
Kirk Nieuwenhuis has three of the Milwaukee errors.Middle of the second inning in Milwaukee. Arizona have scored 6 runs on 5 hits and 5 errors.
Maybe they'd want Michael Martinez?Kirk Nieuwenhuis has three of the Milwaukee errors.
He's the right fielder
Vin Scully just said it was the first 3-3-5 triple play in MLB history.Giants, down by 3 in the 8th to the Nats just hit into a line drive triple play with the bases loaded. Span took off from third as he didn't think 1b Zimmerman caught the ball cleanly.

He replaced the right-handed Treinen with the left-handed Sammy Solis to face the left-handed hitting Brandon Crawford. Then he double-switched Ryan Zimmerman into the game at first base to replace Clint Robinson. Baker’s last change was replacing Wilmer Difo with Danny Espinosa at shortstop.. . .“What a triple-double switch by Dusty,” Zimmerman said.. . . “Everybody was screaming in here,” Scherzer said.
