EDIT: Carp lines into a DP, and Torres follows with another line out, and the Yankees come up empty.
I think you're wondering correctly.
Not that it wound up mattering a few minutes later. That Astros lineup is brutal, even their .150 hitters.
NYY has led only twice - claiming a walk-off win both times they pulled ahead in any of the 7 games.
HOU could get to within 2 1/2 games of NYY with a sweep today. and yes, I do think the Astros are better.
Xander, it’s been nice having you.
The play in question, Cub runner on first, Morel doubled to left, Cub runner going home. Phils haven't done anything particularly wrong to this point, throw home is fine, gets cut off because Morel has motored about 1/3 of the way to third (not the greatest baserunning). Morel breaks back towards second and the Phillie fires the ball to second and ...
I don't know who that was on the Phils standing about 10 feet behind second when the throw was cut-off ... might have been the 3B in some sort of shift. Presumably not a player who has regularly contemplated "I wonder where I should be in case the throw is cut off." Anyway, 10 feet behind the bag is not the answer. They did make a break for second but couldn't corral the throw ... which was probably a decent throw assuming someone was actually covering 2B.
Now Morel is gonna easily make third but ... as the ball scoots into RCF ... there's not a Phillie in sight. The ball is eventually run down by somebody coming from the direction of 1B. Was the RF covering 1B? Was the CF the guy at 2B? Had neither of them moved since the play began? Anyway, Morel scored easily, probably had enough time he could have kept going and made it to second again.
Wisdome doubles for 7-1 ... I'm not sure many LFs could have gotten to that one but certain Scwarber wasn't.
He's hitting .319/.372/.482 on the season, and he's driven in 35 runs in just 166 ab.
Judge #36, 465 ft., 113.5 MPH
Could be, but not necessarily. All that really matters is October. Remember this bit of ancient history?
1988 Mets vs L.A., regular season: 10-1, 49 Runs Scored, 18 Runs Against
1988 Mets vs L.A., postseason: 3-4, 27 Runs Scored, 31 Runs Against
Mets WERE better, but they didn't win the playoff series. same thing could happen here.
surprised to hear on SNY that Machado is only the second 3B to ever start for both NL and AL in the All-Star Game.
answer is not a gimme - but not totally ungettable, either.
What the hell is going on in that game? 25-3?
I cannot even think of a time when I saw a major league team score over 20 runs. (I'm sure it's happened recently, I'm thinking Braves or Rangers or Cubs for some reason)
At some point in the 21st century, the Indians beat the Yankees by 22 to 0, and the Rangers beat the Orioles by something like 30 to 3.
30-3 is correct. Pretty sure that's the only time a team's scored 30 runs in my lifetime (born in 1991). Braves came close in 2020, beating the Marlins 29-9 (don't remember that one). Most I've ever seen the Sox score was 25 against the Marlins in 2003.
39.2 IP, 2 ER, 11 BB, 58 K, 0 homers, 0.45 ERA
Shohei tonight:
5 IP, 1 hit 0 R, 0 BB, 9 Ks
Crappy defense and crappy pitching.
I did a quick google and came up with this
Rangers in 2007 with 30 runs, Braves with 29 in 2020, Royals with 26 in 2004, Rangers 26 in 1996, Cubs 26 1995, Reds Sox with 25 in 2003... (so my initial thought about the three teams who have done this recently, missed the Royals and Red Sox but got the other three correctly)
I've seen 20+ at least a few times on TV, pretty sure I've never seen it in person outside the softball field.
An unusual pitching line, especially for this day and age: Ort (that name seems appropriate) with 0.2 IP, 7 H, 1 BB, 1 K, 8 R, 0 HR. Kind of a BBTF Golden Age of Baseball moment.
It really does seem like the high scoring teams are the same..
Cubs piled on in the 8th and 9th to win 15-2.
And the Pirates once beat the Cubs by 22 to 0, the game in which Rennie Stennett went 7 for 7.
yeah, the switch to weekly Chatters seems like BBTF's own version of a "mercy rule."
I doubt he was the most recent one, but in his career (1779 PA), Mike Squires had a .321 OBP and a .318 SLP.
In fairness, back in 75, the Pirates did beat the Cubs 22-0. It may not be so much the same "teams" as the same parks. The two highest scoring games in history (unless there's been one since) were at Wrigley, both Cubs-Phils; 26-23 Cubs in 1922 and 23-22 Phils in 1979. Granted not in Wrigley and not yet even the Cubs, the White Stockings apparently hold the all-time one-team scoring record with a 36-7 win in 1897. The Cubs beat the Cards 23-13 at Wrigley in 1954. Another article points out Cub Wrigley losses 17-15 to the Expos and 18-16 to the Phils (again!).
The Rangers have been another popular big scorer though I didn't check how many were in Texas. I assume there are a number or crazy ones in Coors.
That was Schmidt's 4 HR game.
4 of the 5 Cub relievers that day had 30 save seasons in their future.
Also back in the majors is The Great Baddoo. Alas, picking up where he left off, 2-18 since his return.
EDIT: I now see that this transaction was deemed worthy of its own thread.
My favorite fact about that game is that a relief pitcher hit a triple in the first inning.
Daric Barton hit .216/.323/.284 in 600 PA from 2011-14. Barton had a career .356 OBP and .365 SLG% though.
Dave Magadan was mostly a 3rd baseman but he did play 1st in 1991 when he hit .258/.378/.342 (517 PA).
hmm. 559 Games Started at 3B, 450 at 1B.
Carpenter now at .333/.453/.874, for a 1.327 OPS.
Along with Judge’s earlier RBI double, that HR puts the Yankees up 2-0 in Baltimore.
Goldy is 296th on the career RBI list tied with Freddie Freeman. The active players above him are Pujols, Cabrera, cano, Cruz, Longoria, Votto, Molina and Upton. Behind Freeman and Goldy are Stanton and Arenado.
Home: 371/522/1143 (not a typo) ... not that the road numbers are shabby.
vs LHP: 400/500/1085 ... 10 for 25 with 2 doubles, 5 HR and 5 BB.
Men on: 415/529/1146
2outs, RISP: 600/636/1900
Late & close: 083/353/333
In April and September of that year he had an OPS of about ,
.575.
In May- August, he was hitting like he is now. In fact august of 2018 he was being touted as an MVP. He never played well again. Just stopped hitting until now.
He could always take a walk though
If he doesn’t develop his power stroke, he’ll go down as another Phillies 2010s first round draft bust.
Rehab. Molina is still on IL. Waino is vaccinated.
Rumor has it that the cardinals have added Spanenburg, Gomez and Capel to taxi squad so it seems like we have at least three unvaxxed.
Yet their manager pulls him for the platoon advantage(?) in a close game... I just do not get the Yankees, but heck they have the best record in baseball so I guess it doesn't matter.
in 2015, the Mets decided to go for it and acquired Yoenis Cespedes. yada yada yada, the Mets win the pennant.
in 2022, the Mets after 90+ games clearly are running on fumes as the Braves prepare to pass them. an infusion of new blood is badly needed - look at the Braves since they recalled 21-year-old CF phenom Michael Harris two months ago.
so the Mets go back to the Pirates well - but this time it's for Daniel freaking Vogelbach and Michael focking Perez.
color me unimpressed so far, Mr. Cohen.
I edited that comment in case someone sees your comment, after I realized what I typed was massively wrong. I didn't know about the Bader injury though.
Maybe but the Cardinals have been living off of the taxi squad all season long(mostly on the pitching side) but considering the previous manager, (not Shildt, but Matheny) there is a possibility that there are still idiots on the team, just not sure if they are actual players or peripheral players. I guess Gorman is young enough to be an idiot which might explain Spaneburg.
Such a shame, the O's fans just had to settle for seeing a 6-3 win for their guys.
Note I was more or less just joking as I wasn't watching the game. Just noting that the Yankees are behind and took out their best bat. (and by behind, meaning when I made the comment, not when it actually happened)
No they weren't. Just because Yankee fans are louder and more obnoxious than any other fans in the world doesn't make them more numerous.
