Mid-week night games tend to be a bit lighter, the team not doing as well likely also makes that effect more pronounced. Friday and weekend games usually hold up better, even in our suckier pre-WS post-Bonds years.

I'll have to get to a weekend game. One of my top 5 stadiums.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Over last 85 PA..

Player A: 10 XBH & 16 RBI
Player B: 13 XBH & 18 RBI
Player C: 14 XBH & 25 RBI

Spoiler

Fuck the DH! also yes the comparison is dumb but still!

 

[Corran Horn]

It felt quite empty though. Is that typical or more this year since they are shit?

What xia said. Getting to the park can suck for many since SF traffic is so wonderful or people like me only go on weekends since we live a few hrs away.

 

[Earthbound64]

Dirty Orioles. Soaking players hasn't been a thing since the 1860s.
(Kidding, obviously)

 

[Lexxism]

RIP

 

[3N16MA]

Pour it on. Don't allow the Jays to breathe.

 

[PROh1bited]

That ball was demolished.

 

[CygnusXS]

Off-day rosterbating:

Release Dickey
Move Colon to the pen
Trade Kemp
Trade Markakis
Trade Brandon Phillips
Option Sam Freeman
Release Danny Santana and Emilio Bonifacio
Call up Lucas Sims
Call up Aaron Blair
Call up Dustin Peterson
Call up Ronald Acuna
Call up Johan Camargo and Lane Adams
Call up Ozzie Albies

They'd still lose most of their games but at least I'd want to watch them.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

We suck again!

 

[3N16MA]

CC can implode at anytime.

 

[detectiveconan1]

Clutch double by Stanton!

 

[3N16MA]

Hicks keeps on hitting.

 

[detectiveconan1]

Stanton just saved a run too.

Still waiting for Locke to implode.

 

[BigAT]

Uh oh, Gary found his power. RIP rest of the league.

 

[Lexxism]

Ugh. That was supposed to be a K. Damn

 

[3N16MA]

Those two shots from Gary were crushed. The last one was a bullet.

 

[Chris R]

Honestly thought we might only take one from the Rockies. 2 wins was my goal for this trip down, anything we do to the Rays is gravy

Minus being swept

 

[detectiveconan1]

Great start by Locke tonight!

5.2 IP 3 H 1 ER 0 BB 7 Ks

 

[Chuck]

These are the Orioles that have been missing the last few weeks

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Hicks keeps on hitting.

Dude has broken out!

With that 2nd inning HR, Ronald Acuna is now hitting .417/.468/.667 in AA

[detectiveconan1]

Lol walking two trash hitters to lead off the inning leads to another blown game by our bullpen.

 

[Icedburden]

Wade Miley with a sub-3 era too. Never thought that would happen.

 

[Choomp]

SF gaf, I was out in San Fran on business this week and got a chance to go to the park last night. Beautiful park.

Lucky. Always wanted to go. I really haven't ventured out of NY in terms of baseball parks but that, PNC and Petco have always seemed like the prettiest on TV.

 

[Line_HTX]

Psh... Gary.

 

[Earthbound64]

Showalter is such a joke.

 

[Icedburden]

Here we go....

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Damn is Hicks an allstar at this point??

 

[3N16MA]

Dude has broken out!

He is at it again.

 

[Malo]

Damn is Hicks an allstar at this point??

If he keeps this up; he should be.

 

[TheGameshark]

Wade Miley with a sub-3 era too. Never thought that would happen.

When he keeps the walks to a minimum he's as effective as Bundy.

 

[clemenx]

Fuck the Yankees forever but I'd love to see CC make a push for the HOF having a couple more decent to good seasons. He's awesome.

 

[3N16MA]

Always feels good when the Yanks crush a team. Now do it three more times.

 

[Icedburden]

When he keeps the walks to a minimum he's as effective as Bundy.

Imagine if Jimenez didn't walk twenty batters a game!

 

[boxter432]

Triple play!

Sano to Dozier to Mauer!

Twins at Angels.

Who the fuck uses CHA/CHN/NYA/NYN? It isn't like these teams don't have well known three letter abbreviations or anything.

 

[Earthbound64]

Who the fuck uses CHA/CHN/NYA/NYN?

Plenty of Baseball-related sources.

Although Washington should be WSN.

 

[TheGameshark]

Imagine if Jimenez didn't walk twenty batters a game!

That's impossible

 

[Corran Horn]

Nah it really should be MON

 

[SD-Ness]

lol at Mr. Met

What are peoples' thoughts on:

1. Starling Marte

2. Jameson Taillon

Marte obviously isn't recovering from any injury, so he's got that going. You think he'll be able to get back in the swing of things after such a long break?

I've read that Taillon is feeling good. But it's tough to say. Not your usual type of injury.

 

[Beckx]

Taillon had emerged as the real ace of the staff and I think he'll be fine. He's been through a lot and bounced back.

Marte will be fine too, we sorely need his defense and offense. It won't save this lost opportunity of a season though.

 

[Earthbound64]

Nah it really should be MON

True.
RIP MON.

 

[Chuck]

True.
RIP MON.

Jeter will help the Expo Phoenix rise from the ashes...

 

[3N16MA]

Yanks entire starting OF is within the top 11 in fWAR.

Judge - 2nd
Hicks - 8th
Gardner - 11th

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

lol Molina batting cleanup

Fowler-Carpenter-Piscotty is actually close to ideal for 1-2-3, IMO, but lol at Molina batting 4th

also lol at Sierra playing LF and not CF

Better than us using Grandal at the same spot. JT please come back soon

For those keeping score at home, Blaylock has 71.8 career win shares, which is slightly above average for an NBA player after 13 seasons

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Lackey grooved a pitch to Fowler for his homecoming.

Sad!

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Fowler! Don't know about his HR surge but I'll take it

 

[jello44]

Fowler! Don't know about his HR surge but I'll take it

So will my fantasy team.
