Votto has been turning things around. 

Stanton looks completely lost. Over the last month he's hitting .115 with 43 SOs in 88 ABs. Dude is striking out in half his at bats.

FIRE BONDS!!!

Stanton is making Pujols contract look like a good deal.

Don't get too excited ... there's a huge age difference.

Stanton just needs a good Home Run Derby to set things right.

John Lackey  2-0 this week

0.00 ERA

13.2 IP

Xander bogaerts is a machine

Juan Uribe (testicular contusion) said no BP today. Asked why he doesn't use a cup, he said: "I don't think the trainers have my size." Oh.

[fan_since79]

Mildly interesting, random stat: Bryce Harper is now 0-9 vs. John Lackey. It's the most AB's for Harper against any pitcher without a hit.

Ripley's has been alerted.

Even stranger, he's got three career grand slams.

Good battle today WSH vs Cubs.

Strasburg vs Hammel tied 1-1 after 7. Neither pitcher has ever lost to either opposing team.

Strasburg wont get a decision (done after 7) and Hammel is still pitching. 

[Homebrewer]

3-3 top 12th..good game with 2 good teams.

On MLB network now.

Texas making the AL West their b!tch and running away with the division title 

[fan_since79]

Freddie Freeman of the Braves hit for the cycle yesterday.

307 cycles in MLB history, 295 no-hitters.

 

[fan_since79]

Colby Lewis perfect through five innings in Oakland.

But Texas has only one hit in a scoreless game.

 

[nando714]

Lewis no no thru 8

texas just cruising so far this season. Definitely look like the best team in the AL. Respect

Escobar is having a great offensive season and is solid on defense, but Freese was a presence in the clubhouse that the Angels dearly miss.

Right now, field presence is WAY more important than a clubhouse guy.

This team needs players, not presence.

cubs Almora jr. is 9-21 to start his big league career.  

[fan_since79]

Cubs win 6-0. Arrieta now 11-1 with a 1.74 ERA.

The Cy Young race is going to be great this year.

I've been watching him. He's had game winning hits and scored game winning runs in his first damn week. He has speed and a great glove. Looks like he's been in the league for years.

Unreal.
