Probably for the best not to think too hard about the rumor that he was the guy the Pirates offered for Jon Lester.With 3 homers today, post hype Josh Bell is one off his career high already.
After the first two guys got out! That has to be as infuriating a way to lose as there is.Dodgers walk off against Dbacks on 5 consecutive walks.
Holland was visibly shaking on the mound. Don't know why they left him out there.After the first two guys got out! That has to be as infuriating a way to lose as there is.
Someone please swap out Trout’s bones with adamantium.Tommy La Stella fouled a ball off his leg last night and has a fractured tibia, out around 8-10 weeks, the Angels say.
Lowest average FB speed in a game for him since 2013, 94.9.Kimbrel just blew a save and the game to the Pirates.
He looked horrible.
Amazing given that Milwaukee (-7) and Pittsburgh (-47!) have a negative run differentia.The Reds work around a Christian Yelich double to lead off the 9th and hold on for a 1-0 victory. With Cincinnati's third straight win over Milwaukee, the entire NL Central is now within 3½ games of each other.

I thought it was smart for NY to trade Cervelli after 2014 because he had already had a few concussions then, I'm surprised and impressed he lasted at C as long as he did.Relatedly, Cervelli retires after his 6th concussion.

Not quite retiring, but unless he hits more, he'll be done after his next chanceRelatedly, Cervelli retires after his 6th concussion.

That was definitely a cheap and dirty play. And maybe he didn't try to specifically whale Lucroy in the head, that was the main point of contact. That was a brutal hit and could possibly warrant a suspension. Marisnick is a pretty big dude, too.Catchers seem more protected than ever with the new rules. that's the first this year I can recall going out of the lane for a collision. Marisnick lost his mind for a second there.
100% dirty. Even if he didn't veer specifically to make contact with Lucroy (which he clearly did), hasn't the Pete-Rose-style shoulder block into the catcher maneuver been banned anyway? Aren't players supposed to be sliding into home same as any other base? He absolutely deserves a suspension. A big one.That was definitely a cheap and dirty play.

Big and fast and going full speed. It was a brutal play. It’s not like Lucroy changes levels. He was in his crouch before Marsinick left his feet. I hope he gets a long suspension.That was definitely a cheap and dirty play. And maybe he didn't try to specifically whale Lucroy in the head, that was the main point of contact.

And he appealed it, so he'll probably only get 1 game, which he's a 4th OF, so who cares? Actually, he should get a month to reflect his relative playing time. And force the Astros to keep him on the 25 man to boot.Marisnick only suspended for two games, should have been two weeks IMO.
The real crime is that they will also pay him $21 million next season. And the season after that. And the season after that. Additionally he has some deferred compensation. The Orioles will be cutting Chris Davis a check for $1.4 million in 2037.Let's just take a moment to admire the long-term uselessness of Chris Davis. Over his last 1,000 at-bats he's put up a line of .185/.267/.347. He has hit 44 home runs over that time but struck out in 42% of his at-bats. During which the Orioles have paid him $53.5M for his contributions.

Doesn’t this happen every year?
Mike Leake really helping his trade value by giving up 7 runs to the Angels in the 1st.Dylan Bundy really helping his trade value by giving up 7 runs to the Rays in the 1st.
Also the Angels had 45 wins coming into tonight.Tyler would’ve been 28 today. It took 28 Seattle batters to record the no hitter.
Skaggs’ birthday happens on July the 13th. The Angel offense produced 13 runs tonight.
Relatedly, Cervelli done catching after his 6th concussion.
Thanks to @santadevil for the closer read.
