Only 4 hits for both teams, with the Dodgers only run coming on a Peterson lead-off home run.

No Correa or Altuve this series for the Astros.

Good win, but if we don't get out of these offensive doldrums we are going to be in trouble.

Verlander strikes out 14 in the Astros win over the Dodgers last night, 2-1.
Verlaner went 7-2/3rds for the win.
Only 4 hits for both teams, with the Dodgers only run coming on a Peterson lead-off home run.
Springer knocked in the Astros 2 runs.
Rondon closed it, a 4 out save.
Dodgers 1st baseman  Muncey looks like he'll be fun to watch in the future, already tearing the cover off the ball this year.
No Correa or Altuve this series for the Astros.

As a fan of the snakes, I was glad to see that, it gave us the chance to tie up the top slot in the Western Division.

Dang, I hadn't looked that closely at the NL standings for a while. 

Talent alone,  the Nats should make the playoffs.  OTOH, and I don't know how you will take it or respond, but how much of the Nat's woes have to do with Harper's clubhouse presence?

We got a huge argument in our ranks about that issue here after what Osuna might bring. 

Verlander after the Osuna's abuse  event, tweeted a very public FU to him.

Personally, I don't think Bryce Harper is a clubhouse issue.  He WAS a lineup issue. 

Everybody is entitled to a slump at that level.  It's also his long-awaited contract year.  He's been waiting for this season all his life.

So...it's self-induced pressure.

Since the All-Star Break; his not being traded IF they can make a pennant push...he's a completely different man in the batter's box.

I've seen him hit crisply to left field more times since the AS break than the entire 1st half of the season.  Maybe because he sees the rest of the lineup barreling up?  He's not trying to jack everything.

Right now, they have no place to put Ryan Zimmerman except 1st base.  And forget that, since Adams in putting up serious numbers.

And Robles' return will create a jam fielding outfielders.  Who sits?

Michael A. Taylor?  Who runs like a deer?  Pennant contenders need great defense up the middle.  He's more than adequate defensively.
IMO...his swing is too long.  And he's a lousy guesser.   :laugh:

Murphy at 2nd is the weakest link at 2nd.  But right now, the ball looks huge.

All good problems to have.

It's like I told you on another thread---he looks like he has the right weight balance in the box now. He seemed to have lost that balance earlier in the season. Maybe part of it was the kind of pressure you put on yourself in a walk year, especially the first one of your career, especially when your name keeps coming up in trade rumours, but when you don't have the balance in the box you don't have the consistent accuracy in the swing, no matter how good you are at reading pitchers and working with what they throw you. Right around the All Star break it looked like Harper was beginning to solve his balance problem. His swings have looked far better since, and he's getting results. He doesn't look awkward in the box. (I suspect the turning point have have begun not long after that incident where he whacked into a double play and didn't run it out---probably out of sheer disgust after doing that with a pitch he'd normally rip for a line drive somewhere.) The biggest point in his favour before that was that he was still sharp enough a thinker in the box to be able to take all those walks and get on base anyway.

If those are their only problems, they should acquit themselves well enough. But watch out for the Braves. They're an anomaly this year---they don't have an all-or-nothing lineup and they're pains in the ass on the bases. That's why they jumped into a pennant race about a year before they were supposed to.

LOL!  I'm conflicted because I was an avid O's fan before the NATS showed up.

And IMO, Nick Markakis, who was a Baltimore town fan favorite and now an all-star with the Braves, deserves this stage he's made for himself.

Strange season.  NL is a free for all, with only about four teams out of the playoff hunt.

Versus the AL, where pretty much everything is set.

True.  In NL Central and West, the fourth place teams are less than 10 GB.

My 'creepy eyes' still work.

Just as I suspected, ...since the All Star Break, 50% of Bryce Harper's hits have been to left-of-dead center field.

He's batting at a .376 clip and seems to have forgotten the shitty first half.


** Creepy eyes is what the Statheads in the Orioles' Usenet newsgroup called it, because I only used statistics to confirm my observations.
It was the Statheads vs the Dugout Boyz.

Dugout Boyz acknowledged the existence and value of team chemistry, which gave Statheads in the group the vapors.  LOL!

@DCPatriot

From the All-Star break through the end of play Sunday, Bryce Harper hit .367 with fourteen runs driven in in fifteen games. And from GM Mike Rizzo telling him the day before the non-waiver deadline that he wasn't going anywhere, even though the Nationals could have gotten a delicious haul of prospects back for him, through Sunday again, Harper hit .471 over those six days.

'Childish Bambino' is one of the greatest teenagers in MLB history
Eddie Matz

[video at link]

WASHINGTON -- That the Washington Nationals were open to trading Bryce Harper speaks volumes.

First and foremost, it speaks to just how disappointing the first half of the season was, for both Harper and the Nats. Second, and almost as importantly, it speaks to just how good Juan Soto has been.

One of the main arguments against trading Harper, an idea that would've seemed blasphemous not too long ago but gained traction as the deadline approached and the Nats continued to hover around the .500 mark, was about this winter: Regardless of whether it made baseball sense, shipping the star right fielder elsewhere -- or even the mere thought of doing so -- might offend him and/or agent Scott Boras and greatly decrease the odds of Harper re-signing with Washington after his current contract expires.

By all accounts, there were no hard feelings around all the trade talk. "He understands this game as good or better than all of us," general manager Mike Rizzo said of Harper last week. "He would think we're not doing our job if we didn't address everything to try and make this organization better."

During the season, every team's fans get a taste of this wonderful idea.

Yep. And it stinks!

I pay for MLB.TV because I'm out of market for my team. I watch a solid 85% of their games,  but I feel cheated when they have one of these ridiculous Facebook games.

I'm in-market, so MLB-TV is worthless to me.  Even when I travel out of town to my favorite Casino, it's still considered "in-market" because it's the same county, so it's blacked out. I bought that last year so I could watch there, but I ended up not watching a single game, and MLB refused to refund my money.  That shit's expensive.

FB TV is the equivalent of "No TV" for me.  There doesn't seem to be a source to stream the video for my Fire Stick, either, so it's literally "No TV" at my house.

I hope MLB can buy a clue by next season and strangle this baby in the crib.

The Orioles are officially eliminated from the Post-Season, the earliest elimination in the Divisional Era (since 1969).

As I had posted on another thread, the AL west and the NL west are getting interesting.
As an Astros fan, more interesting that I would like.

I have been wondering if it hasn't been purposefully made so by the league controllers.
