Reds 1B Joey Votto suspended 2 games, fined for his actions during Wednesday's game. Votto will appeal. http://atmlb.com/1F2MO4X

The Orioles hit two grand slams in the 8th inning against the Royals tonite, only the 8th time in history that has been done

Tulo is made of glass. Broken scapula

Tulowitzki goes down , Cliff freaking Pennington goes deep in the night cap. Blue Jays are out of control

Bumgarner 9 outs from a perfecto.

Make it 6 outs.

 

I had no idea De Aza is playing for San Francisco. Whoops.

I don't like you Melvin/BJ Upton.

 

0 for 10 prior to that at bat vs Bumgarner

Fernando Tatis by himself is one of those times.

Buehrle getting skipped on Saturday. Stroman starting.

 

Getting a cortisone shot. Needs 4 starts of about 6.5 innings average to reach 200 for year 15.

 

I hope he bounces back for the postseason. This could be it for him.

 

Going for his 15th win Tues. I still miss him.

 

That Cueto deal is going to end up biting KC in the ass long term.

 

I love it.

Remember when Cueto was considered one of the best pitchers in the NL the last few years? How's that working out for him in the AL?

The same idea applies for Samardzija.

 

The NL is a cakewalk to pitch in compared to the AL.

People were questioning the thought of Sale having an ERA that would drop by 1-1.5 runs in the NL this year but explain then how these guys that moved to the AL have seen their ERA jump by 2 runs or more? Heck, take Sale out of the AL central alone (and away from the twins) and his ERA drops by a run.

Exactly. That is why I disagree when everyone says that Sale is having a poor season. He's been exactly like he always has, the only difference is that the Twins own him this year and he's faced them 5 or 6 times already, which shot up his ERA.

 

He'll be fine. We just have to hope that he can avoid Minnesota next year.

I'm not worried about Sale. He'll own the Twins next year. Remember when the Indians had his number in 2013? The Tigers in 2014? He has a team every year that is his bloody kryptonite. Probably be the Royals next year.

Remember when people thought the Rangers traded for Hamels for next season? If the current score holds, they'll be leading the West. Hurts to think we were ahead of them at the Trade Deadline.

Bryce Harper is amazing

Strasburg tied his career high with 14 Ks tonight. He had 14 Ks his first career start.

Wow! Anyone got an explanation for that?

I guess it's different if you are using the Sale yardstick vs. the MLB yardstick.

 

It's no different with any pitcher. They either own a team or get owned by a team. The peculiar one is Danks vs. opponents.

 

I'm not a fan of shutting down a hard throwing pitcher. I can only think that trend started with Strasburg. They treat some of these pitcher like they are glass. I think it was Woody Fryman who started the season with four man rotation. Taking away the competition from athletes based on they competed too much makes no sense. Pitching is just as much a mental game as it is physical. Mark B. knows how to get people out throwing at 89 and Nate Jones thinks he can get everyone out throwing 98.

At least with Strasburg, there were already existing legitimate arm health issues. People want to shut down Sale merely for the possibility of the arm health issues

Wow! Anyone got an explanation for that?

The West sucks. I think the White Sox are 19-10 vs. AL West teams.

The Rangers are 27-34 vs AL West teams

Wow! Anyone got an explanation for that?

 

They were 50-52 on July 31. They’ve gone 27-15 since then.

 

The Sox were 49-52 on July 31. They’ve gone 19-23 since then. Although even if the Sox had gone 27-15, they’d only be in 2nd place in the division and one game back for the 2nd wild card.

 

A's called up Barry Zito.
