July 2017 MLB Game Thread

- Start date
I only turned MLB.tv on to watch for a while after finishing work but can't turn it off now - HR number 7 just landed in right-centre field. 0 out in the 4th and 7 HR in the game, plus Travis Shaw hit one for the Brewers in the top of the inning. Has DC been elevated due to some seismic shift?
Probably because it was the third inning and they didn't want to mess up their bullpen for a week. That's just a guess there could be lots of reasons.
The first reliever in got shelled too so they probably didn't have many great options.
Gibbons as well. How bad were was the strike zone?
This is a pretty interesting read

I only saw the pitch they got tossed on but that looked to be a ball to me.
Ump had a ridiculously quick trigger in any event but all those fans who came out to see him will go home happy.
The Twitter link I referenced has some nuggets.
Six walks for Stroman, none for the A's
This was my favorite:

my gf told me "suck my tiddy hoe" i said "bitch i will" little did i know her father was behind me
I was reading the baseball links, like the A's previous troubles with Little. Your interests may differ
It was more the fact that the ump ejected him just because Stroman stared in. He didn't even say a word. Totally unprofessional.
But ya, they tend to chirp and are definitely feeling it.
The video I saw on barstool sports showed Stroman chirping at the ump. He appeared to say something about the ump needing to get his eyes checked.
The Mets lost 7-5 to San Diego on Thursday night. Twice they pinch-hit for a pitcher ... with another pitcher. In the fourth, with a runner on and two out, deGrom grounded out. In the seventh, Matz bunted into a force play at second with no one out. The Mets were trailing 7-1 with the leadoff man on, and Collins sent up a pitcher as a pinch-hitter to bunt. NY wound up scoring four in that inning to create the 7-5 final
I watched portions of this game thanks to MLBN. They mentioned that the Mets were operating with a two man bench and one of them had a sore neck (I think it was neck) and the other, Jose Reyes was getting one of those "defintely not being used" days off.
What I do not understand is why use a pitcher to PH? It's not like he's sending Bumgarner to pinch hit. If you need a bunt, why not use the pitcher that's actually in the game?
And the very next batter proceeds to ground one off of the new pitcher (uninjured).
Cardinals' broadcast reported 108 mph as the exit velocity of the ball that struck Ray.
No Correa. No Springer. No problem for the Astros. Come from behind 6-5 win over the Tigers. Former "Tigers Closer of the Future" Bruce Rondon entered with a 5-3 lead in the 8th. His ERA on the season was 10.50, and he still managed to add almost 2 full runs to it... single, single, 3-run homer by Josh Reddick. Rondon was ejected from his last appearance for hitting Mike Moustakas.
Jordan Zimmermann actually had a solid outing tonight (7 ip, 3 er... left with the lead), but how terrible has that deal turned out for Detroit? In his first 5 games in a Tigers uniform, Zimmermann went 5-0, 0.55 ERA. Since then he's 10-15, 6.15 ERA. They still owe him $74 million over the next 3 seasons.

ELIAS: The Dodgers are 38–6 (.864) since June 7, best record for any MLB team over any 44-game span since 1942, when the Cardinals went 38–6

Steve Pearce hit his second walk-off grand slam of the week, as the Blue Jays came back from 10-4 down in the 9th to win 11-10.
Chris Christie got in a fan's face to yell at him during today's Cubs v Brewers game.

Jesus, with that get up, you'd think he's trying to accentuate his morbid obesity.
The Dodgers have some serious mojo going. Another win in extra innings. First major league AB wins it. Kyle Farmer.
The thing is, I could see them getting bounced out of the playoffs in the first round. I wouldn't predict it but it wouldn't shock me. Do they have a great offense? Do they have great starters? After Kershaw, who's had troubles in the playoffs, who's the lockdown Dodger playoff starter?
