From a practical standpoint, if they want to finish the last 1-1/2 innings there looks like a window of no rain for about 30-60 minutes after this stuff moves out shortly. But I suspect the bureaucratic inertia will prevent any quick decision and turnaround, so...
Sunday looks to be a washout until later in the evening. If the Cubs want to get tomorrow's game in they will be tired on Monday for sure.
At least the Nationals had a nice Ring of Honor ceremony for the Werewerth to ease the pain.
Also, let it be known that SOMEBODY finally took the Nationals Park bullpen cart tonight: Sean Doolittle.
So he's not perfect and Bryce Harper got him. Means the last 3 months didn't happen. Got it.
Which they didn't between the games and delayed the start of the 2nd one by a half hour. Good work.
With the way the Cubs have looked this week? Five minutes ago.
:D
HOW WILL THE CARDINALS REGRESS TODAY?
(SUNDAY EDITION)
By being no-hit apparently.
we are being no-hit by a pitcher with a 3-10 record.
Tim McCarver is really pushing that point. "again, Fulmer has entered the game with a 3-10 record...someone is getting to him this year."
And of course McLaughlin is talking about the ton of strikeouts this series...."Cardinals struck out 12 times Friday, 14 times yesterday..." and then realizes that this game is a bit different, so mutters under his breath "and four times this game." (note paraphrasing a bit.... the numbers might be mixed up a bit)
you gotta be kidding me ... a rally squirrel?
wild.
and tigers RF drops an easy fly ball, run scores. 2-0.
this is nuts.
That was just a bad play by the Tigers rightfielder.
da-yum, those rally squirrels are something else. martinez with a seeing eye hit, another run scores.
... and the unfortunate matt adams bookends the inning with another out.
Did they ever get a reason for that?
Chase De Jong is no-hitting a Royals team whose 789 hitters are Brian Goodwin, Rosell Herrera and Cam Gallagher.
munoz with a really dumb slide into first.
what the hell -- why is hicks shaking off signs? now hes walked someone he should have been going after.
wow, carp pissed about that punchout. i don't blame him one bit.
he got right in the ump's face, and the ump just took it. i wonder if he regretted the call, carp is known for having a good eye.
whatever.
the jose oquendo as manager of the cardinals era begins.
detroit down to their last strike.
i'm just noticing -- lots of cardinal fans in town.
CARDS WIN11!!11!11!1
GOOD AFTERNOON AND GOOD LUCK.
Did they ever get a reason for that?
He said he didn't think he had a throw home and would do it the same way again. No one really challenged him on it, I think he was just rusty and not up to game speed after not playing much lately.
Still nothing happening in DC.
This has to be just him speculating. They'll just have to have it as a potential makeup after last day of season if necessary. No other option. At least it's a night game tomorrow.
#### that.
Good news, they should be able to get the game in just ahead of Hurricane Florence hitting town!
batting avg .238 OPS .665
Yankee opponents also just as bad tho
batting avg .211 OPS .670
Can it be broken down by month?
And what's league average?
If you want to break it down go to Baseball Musings then go to the Day by Day Database.
That’s the area where the stat geeks can influence the game on field. Help managers understand the win expectancy of plays on reviews rather than just “do we have a good look at it.”
Though the 'Stros have won less games so far this year, I still consider them the favourites to represent the AL in the world series.
Still time for injuries or slumps to change things a bit, but any team getting past the Astros will have done something special, IMHO. They're very good.
C'mon Rick, just give us that 6 1/3 IP, 3 runs thing and I'll be happy with that.
Their W-L record against the best opponents they have played is 19-16, FYI (CLE OAK HOU ATL NYY).
I agree that overall, Hou and Bos are about evenly talented, with Hou a slight edge unless Sale is healthy.
One thing about the AL playoffs is that Boston, Houston and Cleveland have bullpen concerns. I think it’s highly likely that we get a few truly memorable games this October with those teams involved.
1) What the hell kind of parent makes their kid do that in the middle of a Wal-Mart? And
2) What the hell kind of kid is willing to do that in the middle of a Wal-Mart?
But no, that's not it. The sound I'm talking about is kind of like an amped-up and elongated version of the "pyoo" sound that people make when they're imitating the laser blasters from Star Wars or something.
What you seem to be describing is something that doesn’t happen anymore but did when I was a kid. Anytime a ball would be fouled onto the screen the crowd woudl go woooooOOOOO as it rolled down getting louder throughout. I miss that.
Everybody, every game?
EDIT: And I should have added that I'm rooting for the Astros, so this wasn't a laundry driven opinion.
Only if Severino recovers his early season form and Tanaka and Happ keep up what they've done recently. It'd also be nice to get Sanchez and Bird over .200 and not let Walker and Gardner slip below it.
Why even have replay then
Wouldn't bother me a bit if they got rid of it, especially when a runner gets called out when he lifts his toe off the base for about 1/10th of a second. My gripe with umpires is personalized strike zones, not bang-bang plays on the bases.
, if not to overturn the clearly wrong calls? Doesn't matter how close it was.
YMMV, but I'd think the standard for overturning a call should be a bit tighter than "He missed the tag by an inch, and you can only tell that from one camera angle".
I think the Bird has flown for this year, Voit with another 2 hits tonight.
Not saying it's going to last, but it's clear he's going to get the vast majority of playing time until he proves otherwise ...
EDIT - Duh, that would lose them the DH.
That's a perfectly logical argument, but then what's the point of the way the announcers keep saying that the call on the field will be upheld unless there's clear** evidence to overturn it? The only time there's no clear evidence is when none of the cameramen were stationed in the right position. As long as the camera catches the critical angle, there's always going to be a clearly right decision.
** or whatever word you always hear from the announcers when the umps go to their headsets
