Serious question: is the measurement system comparable with the one that had Nolan Ryan's 100.5 as the fastest ever for decades?Chapman just threw a 104mph fastball
Brandon Crawford has seven hits tonight, just put the Giants ahead in the top of the 14th with #7.
Nice. Crawford's my favorite non-Red Sox player. Bay Area native too (not that I am).MLB history
Sounds like he's OK.Tito missed managing last night's game, complaining of dizziness, sweats & chest pain!
Yeah, the offensive... offensiveness has finally been followed by the pitching going from great to pretty good (Harvey -> Verrett doesn't help), which creates a sub .500 team.Mets getting blasted again by Arizona at home looking to finish off the sweep, 9-0 in the 6th. This will drop them to .500, things are looking ugly in Queens.
At some point I'm sure we'll see a deeper dive into this, but the Mets had a very odd combination of power with low batting averages, which has led to a lot of solo HRs but very little big innings... and with Cespedes/Duda/Wright out (and Granderson also struggling), even the solo HRs are gone.In their 3-2 extra innings loss to Arizona, the Mets went 0-for-3 with runners in scoring position, dropping their season average in these situations to .203. Only the 1969 Padres, who hit .201 with men in scoring position, were worse, dating back to at least 1913 (the earliest season Baseball-Reference.com has situational statistics).
They came into Wednesday’s game in a tie with the 1968 Mets (who hit .204 with runners in scoring position) for the second-worst mark ever.

Edit: Wow, they've given up 13 SBs in the 3 game series, most in team history.
Zach Duke would fit right in to the Sox pen right now. Starts the 11th: single up the middle, infield dribbler for a hit, bloop to left that hung up for an out, walk, then K's Bryant somehow, and walks Rizzo on 5 pitches to end it.
Guess who's the home plate umpire?Rizzo should not have walked. It was 100% a strike
I like your style.Motherfucking Orioles. I hate that team with a passion.
This has to have been intentional, right? A political statement and/or publicity stunt by the DJ.Not sure where else to put this

The Cubs said an employee played Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up" after Chapman pitched the ninth inning of a 6-4 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. That employee was fired Monday.
Political statement? Dude was suspended for beating up his GF in the offseason. Seems pretty cut and dry what happened.....This has to have been intentional, right? A political statement and/or publicity stunt by the DJ.
Nice. I never get tired of hearing Johnnie Miller calling a game. Started listening to the sox when he was doing play by playThis is a peak hunter pence catch

Brett Gardner just robbed CJ Cron of a HR leaping over the short LF wall in Anaheim.
