Never before has there been an MLB day since 1901 to have 2 teams winning by 19+. Previous record was 17, most recently on May 20th, 1994: Mariners 19, Rangers 2; Twins 21, Red Sox 2.
How is that possible? I guess I don't understand the save statistic.Bryse Wilson was credited with a save in a 29-9 game.
Save credited for pitching the final 3 innings regardless of run differential.How is that possible? I guess I don't understand the save statistic.
Ty Webb now pitching for the Cardinals.Cards-Brewers game 2 should have been over in the 8th on a walk-off base on balls. Brutal missed call by the home plate ump, Manny Gonzalez.
Dave Roberts said he “took exception” to Trent Grisham not showing the respect he believes he should’ve shown to a pitcher like Clayton Kershaw. He said he has no problem with players admiring home runs but he thinks a pitcher of Kershaw’s caliber deserves more respect.
13 HRs in 45 games this season after hitting 18 HRs in 155 last year.Wil Myers' OPS is currently .988.
I suppose the one plus to the pandemic is that they can make the absolute correct call to move these games with a minimum of fuss and debate. No one's fighting for lost gate receipts and there's no potential scheduling conflicts at the parks.
If Buxton can hit another sac fly or two without drawing another walk, he could break Ernie Bowman's record for most at-bats in a completed season with an OBP lower than his BA. Bowman put up a .184/.181 line in 125 AB in 1963. Buxton is currently at .270/.272 in 111 AB.Byron Buxton has homered twelve times since the last time he walked (he has one walk this season).

Sounds ominous to me.This is a bit strange with only a week left in the season.
With all due respect, doesn't everything?Sounds ominous to me.
Nah, not really. But quitting before the end of the season (that’s very quickly at the end) and citing health concerns is worrying.With all due respect, doesn't everything?
