As for the two basebrawl games:

* Tyler Austin (Yankees) did try a dirty play on that slide into second where Brock Holt (Red Sox) wasn't even thinking
of going for a double play. What a shock that he was liable to be brushed back later in the game.

* The least surprising brushback had to be Nolan Arrenado getting one behind his back, considering his Rockies
were throwing a little too often at the Padres over a couple of games' worth.

* Aaron Judge shows himself this generation's Frank Howard---the gentle giant. During the Yankee-Red Sox scrum,
after Joe Kelly brushed back Austin, Judge managed to wrap Kelly up in a head-and-shoulder lock and escort him away
from the brouhaha with a big grin. Of course Judge only looks like he could crush your skull between two
fingertips, just like Frank Howard looked like half an offensive line by himself.

Agreed, I'll have to take your word for it because I haven't been watching that series, and agreed.

Most of the snakes are healthy.  Lamb and Peralta are out, but due back any day.  Relief Pitcher Delgado is headed to Minor League rehab.  It's nice to see so few DLs, it seemed the past few years we were always out some of our best talent coming out of Spring Training.  Only Right Fielder Souza remains injured from ST.

Pitcher Shelby Miller is out for quite a while with Tommy John surgery, maybe back before All-Star, but I doubt it.


Watching Ahmed and Lamb playing is great.

Ummmm, I believe they just took the Astros out of first place in the ALW last night.



Almost 150 to go.  If you can find anyone who will do a straight up bet and says the LAA wins ALW over the Astros, let me know. :cool:

Meanwhile, that'll be my New York Mets sitting with the best record in baseball so far . . . 11-1 (.917) . . . (they beat the Brewers
6-5 this evening) . . .

Emphasis on so far . . .

I saw this headline earlier:

Quote
Cubs score 9 in 8th on just 3 hits, rally past Braves 14-10

...

The Cubs scored nine runs — all with two outs — during a loony eighth inning in which they had only three hits. The Braves did their part with five walks, two hit-by-pitches, a wild pitch and an error.

Continued at: https://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/cubs-score-9-in-8th-on-just-3-hits-rally-past-braves-14-10/

I was wondering how they did it, still, pretty amazing.

I wonder what the most walks allowed in an inning are, for both teams and for just one team.

7 walks, the Cubs got in that one inning, I doubt if I've ever watched a game with more than 4 walks given to one team in one inning.  It really must have been wild.

@TomSea
They fell three short of the major league record---11. The Washington Senators (as in the old saw, "Washington---First in war, first in peace, and last in the American
League) walked 11 Yankees in the third inning of a 1949 game. This year's Cubs also fell two short of the National League record, set in 1957 when a very different
collection of Cub pitchers walked nine Reds in the fifth inning of a game.

Is anyone watching Astros-Rangers tonight?
44 yr old Colon perfect through 5
Verlander, only one hit, but it was a solo home run.
1-0 Rangers.
Wow!

Tortilla Fats through seven innings: Nineteen first-pitch strikes; twenty called strikes out of 45 total not counting
strikes put into play by the hitter; no hits through seven; no walks through seven, seven punchouts.

Yep, going into the 8th now.
On paper, I figured an Astros win.
Ranger fans can be glad they don't play on paper.
Astro fans like me, wished they would have tonight.
