I wonder what he'd look like in a full season... this is his 43rd game, and he has 14 homers and an OPS around 1.000...
He's only had one season with more than 331 PA, and that was 4 years ago.
The Dodgers are in line to becomes the 2nd team in MLB history (the other being the 1936-39 Yankees, 82 yrs ago, possibly the greatest dynasty ever) to
- lead their league in scoring the most runs
- lead their league in allowing the fewest runs
- four years in a row
This combination has only happened about 1/6th of the time in any single year. And less frequently in more modern history. So it's quite a feat if they accomplish it.
Yanks up off the mat as Judge ties it in the 8th with a two-out 3-run homer vs. the Twins.
Next up: 3 games @ Baltimore. Could be an opportunity there.
AL WILD CARD partway thru Mon (TWO slots)
TOR 81-63 --- (W)
BOS 81-64 --- at SEA late
NYY 80-64 0.5 (W)
SEA 77-66 3 vs BOS late
OAK 77-66 3
ATL 76-66 ---
PHI 72-71 4.5
* - Mets have been taken off the board unless they get back within 4 G this week
.................
the second NL WILD CARD goes to one of, mostly thru Mon:
SDP 74-68 --- at SF and trail 5-1 in 3rd
CIN 75-69 ---
STL 74-69 (W)
PHI 72-71
Siri tonight became the first player in major league history to get four hits and 5 RBI in his 1st major league start (not debut). Two of his hits were homers, the first two of his ML career. Well done, Siri.
And the Red Sox following. I think the Sox and Pads will be the ones without a chair when the music stops....
kids, it's 2021. check the other rosters.
On the morning of August 28th, the Blue Jays were 9.5 games back of the Yankees, who held that position.
They also had to pass Seattle (2 games ahead of Toronto), Oakland (3 games ahead of them), and Boston (6.5 games ahead of them).
They passed them all in the span of 17 games.
I still cannot get my head around the Crew being up 14 games. Incredible.
I know Cecil Cooper drove in 39 runs in July 1983 only because my family mentions it every baseball season.
While really impressive I assume someone has driven in a lot more especially in the old days when there was more offense and doubleheaders.
So, 50?
Most RBI in a single month:
EDIT: Apparently he has an Instagram titled "The Joe Ryan Experience."
I suppose it is amusing that Darling and KHernandez are broadcasting a live game and commenting or being commented on simultaneously in that documentary.
...................
so 21 pitchers so far have tossed 162 IP to qualify for the ERA title, and another 22 are on pace to get there.
15 qualifiers in the NL and another 10 on their way.
6 qualifiers in AL and another 12 on their way.
no quite as bad as I feared - 43 would be about 1.5 per team.
but 200 IP? the top 4 - all from NL - should get there. that's Wheeler, Wainwright (!), Alcantara, Buehler. 195, 190, 189, 186.
in AL, leaders are Berrios and Ray of TOR - 173 and 170 - then Montas is next in AL with 166. no way he gets home.
will ANY AL pitcher reach 200 IP? well, Cole was at 164 and has pitched 5 already tonight, so he needs to be mentioned - maybe.
Moot, as he walks the guy anyway. Getting yanked now after walking three of the four batters he faced.
Sacks full for Conforto with only out. Will we get the go-ahead hit... or the inning-ending DP ground ball?
I doubt Al-Cardinals TV showed it, but after the last half-inning, Molina gave Ponce De Leon the "what for" in the dugout for that wildness, or something. Youth Boy tries a half-hearted defense, but Shildt and a coach backed him all the way toward the clubhouse. time for a shower, meat.
minutes later, Molina hits a grounder to short, and Lindor sees that Molina is not running. so he takes his time, then tosses a wild throw, high. Mets announcers claim Molina would have been safe if he had hustled, while conceding that this is a 39-year-old catcher in mid-September. I'd say that if Molina had run it out, Lindor would have easily tossed him out.
current perfect storm for Mets - they lead, and STL CIN ATL and PHI all trail...
#yougottaboolieve
Part of being a leader is knowing when you need to break the rules, especially if they're unwritten. #intangibles #firstballot
Then they stopped hitting batters. If they complete the 9th inning tonight without hitting a batter, it will be their 23rd consecutive game without hitting a batter. The last time they had a longer streak was in 1988, when they went 26 games without hitting a batter. That season they hit 18 batters total. (They have hit 82 thus far in 2021.)
he may not prefer these terms of engagement, but it is what it is and he is reaping the rewards now.
The Mets had zero hits between Baez' first-inning RBI bunt and his 9th-inning solo HR.
Then they storm ahead with three (so far) in the 11th, with Jose Rondon (who?) and the .184-hitting pinch-hitter Andrew Knizner delivering key hits.
ATL 76-67 --- (L)
PHI 72-72 4.5 (L)
NYM 72-74 5.55 (L)
.................
the second NL WILD CARD, thru most of Tues:
STL 75-69 --- (W)
CIN 75-70 --- (L)
SDP 74-69 0.5 at SF
PHI 72-72 3 (L)
NYM 72-74 4 (L)
...............
AL WILD CARD thru part of Tues (TWO slots)
TOR 81-64 --- (L)
NYY 81-64 --- (W)
BOS 81-65 0.5 at SEA
SEA 78-66 2.5 vs BOS
OAK 77-66 3 at KC
According to the Mets' announcers, the Mets' last 9 losses have all been by one run---the longest streak in MLB history.
3-2 pitch - and a feeble grounder to second and the Mets' season ends on an appropriate note.
Bruce Springsteen got it right, as he so often does:
Seen a man standing over a dead dog
Lying by the highway in a ditch
He's looking down kinda puzzled
Poking that dog with a stick
Got his car door flung open
He's standing out on Highway 31
Like if he stood there long enough
That dog'd get up and run
Struck me kinda funny
Seemed kinda funny, sir, to me
Still, at the end of every hard day
People find some reason to boo-lieve
............
(Baez had a 3-0 count when he was IBB. went 2 for 2 with a HR and 3 BB with the Mets' season on the brink.)
With the count 3-0 and a slumping hitter on deck, and it set up a potential game-ending DP. Which almost happened, but McNeil beat the relay.
It's storming here in St Louis, my poor doggie hates the storm, so we had to hide out in a environment safe room (actually the bathroom with the exhaust fan running to drown out the thunder) until it passed, so I missed this game, would have been nice to watch some of it.
I haven't seen Molina and Ponce DeLeon other than the highlight on MLB.com which is just them jawing in the dugout so I have no clue what it's about.
Tyler O'Neill is having himself a heck of a season, imagine if he could have played another 20 or so games, he might actually be top 3 in the NL in War.
Almora is 0-14 as a PH this season. I don't know what he's even doing on the roster, let alone at the plate with the season on the line. I think Guillorme was still available.
Just saw the "highlight" of that play, that was horrible. When the Cardinals have at a minimum 3+ defenders (for the corner) for someone like Rondon to be out there is just bad luck/timing. (not sure why Rondon was out there to be honest, not a double switch as far as I can tell)
And it makes me fear, we'll see the same thing with baseball embracing gambling. I have no issue with gambling personally. I have issue with it interrupting my baseball coverage though. Gamble if you want, heck I might even do some draft kings sometime in the future, but nothing relating to gambling, other than crippling addiction, should be covered by mainstream press in the same way as actual sports related news.
Shildt originally pulled the RF Carlson and replaced him with Rondon as an extra infielder when the Mets had the winning run at 3rd with one out in the 10th. He then played a "normal" right field when he came out for the 11th, with the Mets' announcers at the time wondering why Rondon---a career infielder with 58 innings of MLB OF experience---didn't stay in the infield with Tommy Edman, who's started 65 games in the OF, going out to right.
They also noted how shallow Rondon was playing, allowing a ball to go over his head, when he should have been playing deep in a "no doubles" defense. (That's on the coaches.)
Gotta admit, my favorite games to watch are when the Cardinals play the Mets and I can enjoy the Mets' announcers. They are really fun to listen to.
- made worse in comparison by the huge crowds at the Raiders' game in Las Vegas in their new pleasure-palace, and of course the wild finish in the Raiders' favor - so different from the bad luck they seemed to find in their last go-round in Oakland. Compare that crowd to the attendance at last Wednesday evening's A's game last week at the Coliseum, which couldn't have been much more than 5,000 people.
Bichette has homered and driven in five so far today, and is at 25/93. Never say never.
Oh and Robbie Ray has struck out 11 Rays so far, and walked zero. In his last seven starts, he's whipping it in there at a K/BB ratio of about 9/1. Oh wait, he just struck out Yandy Diaz to make it 12. Every starting Ray has been struck out at least once.
09.15... Mets optioned OF Albert Almora (Free Agent) to Triple-A Syracuse.
Spin: The slick defensive outfielder was just 6-for-52 this season at the major league level and is likely better suited for Triple-A at this stage of his career. New York activated José Peraza [hitting .205] from the injured list in a corresponding move.
...............
[MGR Rojas kept his lifelong streak alive of never questioning his decisions that turn out badly, during his weekly call to WFAN sports radio. he said he "liked the matchup" with Almora, which if the pitcher is more than 8 years old makes no sense. why use Guillorme - .279 AVG, 104 OPS+ - when you can go with the minus 11 OPS+ !
host later said he was so disgusted that as far as he is concerned, there is no point in talking to the guy ever again. these chats have gotten a bit rude, even by Noo Yawker standards.]
After several moments of eye-watering uncomfortable silence, Ken Singleton reminded us all that the count was "no balls, and two strikes"
Still the Cardinals chances at winning the second wild card is strong, and more importantly winning it with a few days left so that Wainwright is the pitcher for the wild card game is a real possibility. That is the goal the team is really seeking. Win the second wild card, and have Waino pitch the wild card game.
The Padres have three games against the Cardinals remaining, so they do have control of their destiny, mind you the rest of their schedule is literally the Giants, Dodgers and Braves... so they are going to be facing great teams but at the same time teams that really don't care about the result of the games as it more than likely won't change anything for them going forward.
I know that the Padres are probably the third or fourth best team in the Nl and just have had bad luck and a tough schedule that just doesn't get better.
The Reds have no control over their destiny, they just have to win more games than the Cardinals. They do have an easier schedule than the Cardinals with 8 games remaining against the Pirates, 2 against the Cubs, and 4 against the Nationals, only a 3 game set against the Dodgers features a team with over a .500 record.
The Mets and Phillies can have a chance, but they do not control their own destiny, which is a big thing to me for the wild card. I almost feel like they are an afterthought right now... but considering that among the wild card teams, the Cardinals probably have the second hardest remaining schedule, it does make it a reality that the other four teams have a chance as long as they play over .600 ball going forward.
