[QUOTE=72-10;14386342]I'm unfamiliar with such a claim. Dude was money with the Astros, he looked like he'd be the ballot.[/QUOTE]

What's your obsession with average players? You make a living asking about them in the NBA :lol and now you ask about Dotel. Dotel was supposed to be great, I remember him coming up with the Mets. He couldn't cut it as a starter so he became a relief pitcher. Had good stuff, pretty sure he closed elsewhere. But never amounted to much more than a good relief pitcher. I remember him walking a lot of people. That's problematic for a reliever.

You're a ***. His Career ERA was 3.78. What the **** is average about that? His five seasons with the Astros are gold.

What other player did I even mention?

Bauer suspended by MLB and Kershaw placed on DL with injury.


The Dodgers........DONE. San Fran and San Diego look way stronger anyway. I'm thinking it's either Boston or Houston coming out of the AL and it's either San Fran or San Diego coming out of the NL.

Good thing making correct predictions hasn't been your thing around here lately...White Sox vs Giants World Series :rockon:

I would prefer the White Sox make it out of the AL. I like parity in sports, but the Red Sox and Astros have the experience so I'm kind of leaning that way. We shall see. I'm still hoping the Braves turn things around, but it's not looking that way, unless they make several trades.

The Dodgers are not done. They've dealt with as many injuries as any team in the league so far and are still 20 games over.

They'll end up with at least 95 wins still and if they can get healthy for the playoffs are still the favorites.

The only teams the Dodgers will play for the rest of July are the Rockies, Dbacks and Giants.

It's more likely the Dodgers take the division lead by August 1 than fall behind the Padres.

Cole will probably get shit for this but I like it.

Mets give up 9 runs in the 8th and 9th combined

Pirates win with a walk-off grand slam.

Mets bullpen implodes, especially their 2 best guys Lugo and Diaz. Lugo I'm good with but I can't stand Diaz. Dude is as fraud as it gets. When he's not well, he'll blow a 6 run lead (pretty sure he did that a couple years back against the Nats... with a walkoff grand slam given up... sound familiar? :lol )

Never underestimate how deflating a blown lead like Diaz pulled last night is... luckily the Mets are a resilient team and came back and won it with a 2 run HR in the 9th... blew it last night, stole it back today :lol

This. I miss the Sox/Yankees rivalry of the mid 2000s. When they actually disliked each other. Now everyone wants to be friends.

Well, I think it's happened 508 times in MLB, but Miguel Cabrera tied the single-game ML mark for Sacrifice Flies tonight with two. I think it's unclear at this point, but it's rumored that Ruth might have had three once before the stat was officially recorded. Pretty rare a major league record gets tied these days. IIRC the New York teams have had three Sacrifice Flies in an Inning for each league, probably the most amazing record for the stat. edit: the record is in fact three in each league

Would be interesting to compile a list of un-intentional Walks with the Bases Loaded.
