He's an RBI MACHINE.

Listening to this broadcast makes me think of one of the new Beavis & Butthead episodes this year when they were watching a youtuber and Butthead said

"Your mouth works mam, you can stop testing it."

 

[Rebels57]

Wtf is Topper doing? Once again he brings Kimbrel into the 8th..and its not going well.

 

[Cody Webster]

Yuge W!

 

[Jack Straw]

3 games up on Arizona for the top WC. 5 games up on Miami&Chicago although Miami owns a tie-breaker against the Phillies so it's more like 4 games up. (Phils hold tie-breaker over Arizona and Chicago)


If Phils went 3-6 then Arizona would need to go 7-2, Cubs need to go 9-0 or Miami go 8-1.

Couple of not great teams to end the season. It's magic number szn!

The weather forecast looks bleak for Saturday and Sunday. That tropical storm developing off the coast is going to move up and looks like starting late Saturday afternoon/early night we'll get pretty steady periods of solid rain.

Should probably do a DH today with the weather fine and then start Saturday's game at like 12PM and just try to get it in with some delays possible.

A's gonna A's. Not only did they give him an $80 bottle of wine....

There's really no excuse for this because earlier this year the Marlins gave him like a bottle of tequila or something and there was posts made about how he was a recovered alcoholic then.

Teams are going away from the traditional closer role and matching RPs in the late innings, against the batters they'll face. So he may have felt Kimbrel was a better match. Good to see Alvarado come up big, they need him and SD to step up for the playoffs. When on, they're both dominant.

Castellanos week

He is so frustrating to watch (JT as well). When he lays off the low breaking ball he's an Allstar caliber hitter, when he chases the slider away he flirts with the Mendoza line. You'd think after a decade he'd figure that out!

Orion Kerkering being called up.

Sounds like a Hunger Games character

Love it. They need a big swing like this. Might end up being a disaster but if the kid ends up being lightning in a bottle its worth the risk.

Routinely clocked at 100 on his fastball and in a recent appearance hit 102 on multiple guns at the ballpark/scouts in attendance.

Scully was the absolute best. "Anyway, we were talking about heterochromia..."

Of which Scherzer is quite familiar with...

I never liked him, always felt he talked too much.
