RIPPA Posted June 23, 2023 Posted June 23, 2023 The Padres are calling up Matt Waldron to start Saturday’s game against the Nats Why this is note worthy is Waldron will become the first knuckleballer in the bigs in two years

CSC Posted June 24, 2023 Posted June 24, 2023 (edited) Another league average utility infielder - yipee Since the whole "Shohei to the Mets" stupid trade thing popped up and everyone laughed at it the Angels have been like "OH NO! We're going to be shitty enough to feasibly trade him by the trade deadline!" Edited June 24, 2023 by CSC
odessasteps Posted June 24, 2023 Posted June 24, 2023 Was it a good decision to have the MLB London series during the Ashes?
RIPPA Posted June 24, 2023 Posted June 24, 2023 So it turns out that Aaron Judge tore a ligament in his toe and he admitted that because it isn't the most common of injuries, there is a lot of uncertainty how long the recover is. And just because he wanted to throw the chaos grenade - Aaron Boone admitted that he can't guarantee Judge will return this season
Kevin Wilson Posted June 24, 2023 Posted June 24, 2023 I am nominating this as fan catch of the year. Catching a 420 foot home run with one hand, while leaning over the railing like its nothing. Very impressive.
Gonzo Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) Well, this game is not going well for the Rockies. It's 23-0, Angels. . .in the top of the fourth inning. Edited June 25, 2023 by Gonzo
Contentious C Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 And all that while Ohtani is 1-6 through 6 innings...
Raziel Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 This being the Angels I'm expecting a spectacular 9th inning collapse. 1
RIPPA Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 You literally can't make it up with that team Friday night Ohtani was a triple shy of the cycle including he and Trout going back to back in the 5th. Rockies rally with 4 in the 8th to win Saturday night LAA scores 25 runs yet Ohtani goes 1 for 7. He was the only Angels starter to not get at least 2 hits
RIPPA Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 Some notes from that game Angels set franchise marks in a single game for runs hits margin of victory They also tied team records for runs and homers in a single inning The margin of victory is the 3rd largest in MLB history since 1900 Rockies pitcher Chase Anderson gave up back to back to back home runs on three consecutive pitches which, it turns out, is the second time in his career that's happened?!?!?!?! 2
RIPPA Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 Oh and then lastly Quote 1B/3B Mike Moustakas will switch dugouts after being acquired by Los Angeles from Colorado for minor league pitcher Connor Van Scoyoc after the game. So the running joke on the internet is that this should become a rule. Beat a team that badly and you get to take one of their players 3
Johnny Sorrow Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 I'm at Coors Field right now with my little league team getting ready for the Little League parade before the game. All anyone can talk about is yesterdays game. 1

RIPPA Posted June 26, 2023 Posted June 26, 2023 Freddie Freeman got his 2000 hit yesterday He is now the 6th active player to reach that mark (Miguel Cabrera, Joey Votto, Nelson Cruz, Elvis Andrus and Andrew McCutchen are the other 5) 8th player to reach that mark as a Dodger 1

The Rockies' "Colorado License Plate" one is probably the least shitty of the one's I've seen but it's clearing a very low bar. The A's, of course, don't have a City Connect uniform at all, and it's pretty obvious now why they never bothered with one 1

It's stupid.

Dolfan in NYC Posted June 28, 2023 Author Posted June 28, 2023 Meanwhile Shohei Ohtani has 10 K's through 7 and has already hit 2 HR's.
