I know nothing about posting here, but I do want to mention to dwfgator that the D-Backs will play the Royals the final three games of regular season.  The Royals was a really good team, but their decline does please me in so many ways.  Rockies will be playing the Dodgers for the final three games of the regular season.

Which means.... [drum roll, please] --- D-Backs just may get the Wild Card!!!  Wheeee!
@Slip18
Yeah, it's gonna be tough for the Rockies to make it.

I agree.

Rangers....   Way to kick a team / city while they are down.  We won't forget.

Rangers really pissed me off on this one.     So they don't want to extend the road trip????? What do they think they're doing now by having these next three games in Tampa?     They could have shortened the current road trip and extended their upcoming homestand.   It made no sense.

Meanwhile, kudos to the Dallas Cowboys for allowing the Texans to use their facilities.  Their game has been moved from Houston to Arlington.

With that kind of thinking, they'd make a great political party. ;)

I dunno.  The Dbacks are up against LA next few games.

Royals scoreless through 2.  So the streak is now at 45 innings.

On the off chance someone saw this the other night...

My (blind) father is very curious about the play between the Yankees and Mariners where Joe Girardi got thrown out of the game.  The announcers and the stories I've seen written say that Girardi was asking why the umps weren't following the rulebook, but I didn't see the play itself.  Was there actually a problem with the baserunning?

Are the umps out of control this season?

The umps need glasses!  Or the new Statcast pitchers' "real" pitches at home plate.  What a joke when it is obvious that a ball is called a strike when it is three feet outside the zone.   They have to call it a HBP if it is three feet inside the zone because the batter gets hit!

What a game last night between the Dodgers and D-Backs! The last two innings had me shaking.  In the 8th, The Beard gave up a run.  Then in the 9th, Rodney threw a HBP!  It made my curly hair curl even more!!!

Go D-Backs!!!

Yeah, but nobody got a hit after the HBP.  There's that.  It's a pity Colorado beat Detroit too.  The chase for Wild Card continues...

Here are some of my commentaries about the umps this season . . .

Thank you.  My dad will enjoy these (there's something so American about the bonding of a son reading baseball articles to his blind dad...they are moments I treasure).

Bucknor's strike four

No discussion of incompetent Umpires could ever be complete without a piece about Bucknor.  That he is still calling keeps me in everlasting amazement.  Your article about "the fourth strike" was very similar to an at-bat I saw years ago at a Diamondbacks game (don't remember who the incompetent Ump was that time). Ball four sailed by, and as the batter was starting to head for First, the Umpire called out "Ball three!"  Eventually he was struck out, and immediately afterwards the broadcast guys did a replay showing 1-2-3-4 balls.

Nevertheless, the batter was out.

I am a "newbie" on TBR, so please forgive me if I mess up!  Just trying to find my way, ya know what I mean?

Tonight we have Robbie Ra6 pitching for the D-BACKS Backs.  He was hit hard in the head about a month ago by a line drive.  He pitched about five innings about a week ago.  Stellar performance!  Without "luck,"  Robbie will keep the Dodgers at Bay.  Dodgers will finally sink below .700!

Other teams are watching!

Rockies are on a spiral slide to the losing side, IMHO!

Glad that you decided to join in here.  I remember you from another place that I shall not mention.  Your other half is a veteran here so he can help you if you need it.
