Say what you want about the stat, but it's extremely rare to have a gamescore over 100. Kershaw threw a 102 last night.
Also of note: Lackey's game yesterday is the highest gamescore of the season for a no-decision.

neat trick, though I still think he was out after seeing a couple of replays. Tagged on the left knee/shin before the right foot gets on the bag. Centrefield camera replay shows it clearly in this video:DrewDawg said:Jayson Werth:
I remember Marty Barrett doing this back in the 80s for the Sox.

In BP, Matt Joyce hits a ball that bounces off the cage, then back into pitching machine, which fires it towards the plate again before Joyce is ready.

I've drilled a line drive right back into a JUGs pitching machine before, which proceeded to fire it straight back at me over the plate for a strike before I even knew what happened.
I've put a few right back through the pitching hole in the machine. Never had it fire it back at him. I obviously have never hit off the Roger Clemens model.Lowrielicious said:

Reds called up Jumbo Diaz, a reliever and 30-year-old career minor leaguer listed at 315 lbs. He's destined to be Twitter's favorite player.

Watching the Braves-Nats game and Rendon ties it up with a homer off Kimbrel in 9th. Ball goes 10 feet over fence, totally and completely obvious home run. They blow the call and need replay to save them.
MLB umpiring is a complete embarrassment...

Toronto trying to erase an 8-0 deficit against the Reds. Currently down 9-8 in the 8th.
EDIT--and now it's tied

And now Chapman gave up 2 runs in the 9th. 11-9 Toronto.
Epic collapse by the Reds.

is anyone else watching the Nats and Brewers on ESPN?
Is ESPN freaking kidding me with the endless TIm K sausage race? They hyped it up in inning 1 all the way through the race now into the 7th. Im somehow still watching.
ESPN is a joke.

Reds have a new manager this year, Bryan Price, but he appears to overuse pitchers like his predecessor, Dusty Baker. He brought Aroldis Chapman into his 4th game in a row, also 4th night in a row last night. Predictably, he didn't have it (wild) and blew the save. Giants had it much worse with a blown save in the 9th and the loss in 11. I actually think Dusty Baker, overall, was a pretty good manager, maybe in everything but in game and pitcher usage (if that makes any sense).
Dodgers give Van Slyke a hot foot: http://deadspin.com/dodgers-work-together-to-give-scott-van-slyke-a-hot-foo-1597824607
Dodgers pitchers have gone 34 games without issuing more than 2 walks. Last pitcher to do so was Josh Beckett during his no-hitter.
