I'd say the explanation starts with Anderson being a complete dumbass who's always gotten by on pure physical talent and never developed any actual baseball skills.
Dodgers are just 6-5 in June.On Wednesday night, David Robertson came in for the 8th inning and struck out Betts, Ohtani and Freeman.
Last night, after starting the 8th inning by hitting Biggio and giving up a single to Barnes, he did it again.
Or possibly 5 out of 11. The Giants currently hold WC3 and have a losing record.Winning 6 out of every 11 games over the course of the year would still get you a wild card spot in the National League.
Right, and it's only 1 fewer than 7 out of 11, which is 103 wins. It's kind of a silly criticism.Winning 6 out of every 11 games over the course of the year would still get you a wild card spot in the National League.
Why don’t we get guys like that?Yamamoto just got pulled after 2 scoreless innings after showing decreased velo. Feels ominous.
I didn’t see the game, so just to clarify, hardest of the season meaning his velo was up but not above what he did in Japan, or hardest as in he might have been overthrowing/over-exerting himself?He was throwing his hardest of the season by a few MPH in his last start against NY (6/7).
Dunno how it compares to Japan but also the balls are smaller there. I meant this:I didn’t see the game, so just to clarify, hardest of the season meaning his velo was up but not above what he did in Japan, or hardest as in he might have been overthrowing/over-exerting himself?
This was so much fun.
Bubble wrap OhtaniFractured hand for Mookie. Strained rotator cuff for Yamamoto. Nightmare 24 hours in LA.
I couldnt find more. They say more than fractured hand… that is incredibly vagueFractured hand for Mookie. Strained rotator cuff for Yamamoto. Nightmare 24 hours in LA.

Also, Ohtani hit the longest home run in MLB this season in the 6th inning. 476 ft.Absolutely wild one at Coors -- Dodgers with the ol' 7-run 9th. Jason Heyward hit a pinch hit grand slam off the foul pole to get the Dodgers within one run at 9-8, and that was just the beginning.
Ohtani followed with a hit, Will Smith tried about six times to call time out with a full count, wasn't granted it, and watched strike three go right down the pipe. After a wild pitch on which Ohtani took 2nd, Freeman was then IBB'd. Teoscar Hernandez almost certainly went around on a 1-2 pitch but on appeal the 1st base ump said he did not; Bud Black got ejected while arguing it and then on the very next pitch Teo hit a 101mph fastball from Vodnik for an oppo bomb, a 3-run go ahead shot. The Rockies RF Jake Cave was livid after watching it sail over his head, and when the inning was finally over he had words for the 1st base ump, and had to be escorted off the field by a teammate. Crazy crazy 9th inning.
It's not very often you see a 9th inning pinch hit grand slam off the foul pole and have it not be the most dramatic hit of the inning.
If the season ended today, they'd be only the second team to win their division (league, pre-1969) by double digits and have zero qualified batters at a .750 or higher OPS, joining the American Association's St. Louis franchise from 1885.Mariners up to a 10 game lead in the AL West.
You missed the part about Verdugo saving 3 runs with a great catch in CF.And Kimbrel blows the save in NY. Right after the O's loaded the bases in the top of the 9th with 1 out and couldn't get an insurance run.
Well I missed the catch so...You missed the part about Verdugo saving 3 runs with a great catch in CF.
And then he airmails one over the cutoff man when there was no chance to throw out the runner. It's the whole Dugie experience.You missed the part about Verdugo saving 3 runs with a great catch in CF.
It's 29 at bats.So it turns out that Imanaga is human. The Mets are killing him right now. (on mlbn)
By the way, Iggy is OPSing .950 for the Mets. Plays second base.
Valdez is left-handed, isn't he? We don't really know what's up with Grissom. Anyway, that ship, such as it is, has sailed. The Red Sox are currently doing well; the Mets are currently doing well. Everybody's happy. I only posted the Iggy # b/c I have had the impression that many Soshers think he is done. Maybe he is, maybe not. I am not sure, but I think he's in a platoon with McNeil. By the way, Mets lead Cubs 11-1 now.It's 29 at bats.
Valdez is OPSing 1.181 in his last 44 at bats for the Sox
Rough week for rookie darling starters. Yamamoto down over the weekend, Gil got clobbered yesterday by Baltimore, now Imanaga. Someone get Skenes to the safe house.So it turns out that Imanaga is human. The Mets are killing him right now. (on mlbn)
