Happy 82nd Birthday Mr. Clemente

 

I'm old enough to have seen him play. He was impressive.

Pretty sure Terry Collins hates his pitchers.  DeGrom didn't have it tonight yet he left him in to give up 8 runs on 90+ pitches

On July 25, 1956 Clemente hit the only walk-off inside the park grand slam in baseball history. He ran through the third-base coach's stop sign to do it.

Looks like they could take votes away from each other.

Just read this...Pretty funny.  Dude was decent but limited here.  Wonder how many DL visits he'll accumulate in Pittsburgh over the next 2 to 3 seasons

Trumbo hits his 38th home run today.

Adrian Gonzalez has three HR and 8 RBI for the Dodgers.

from ESPN:

Gary Sanchez: 8 HR in first 19 games, most ever by a Yankee in his first 19 games played. His 8 HR since August 10 leads MLB

(post was edited to reflect the second home run. Kevin Maas had held the Yankee record with seven.)

What in the Wide World of Sports is going on with SF?

After starting off 57-33, they are just 11-23 since the ASB????

Danny Valencia punches Billy Butler in the head ..: locker room fight. Butler heading to the DL. Heating up in Oakland.

Aybar HR!

Dodgers traded Aj Ellis to the Phillies for Carlos Ruiz. Ellis was Kershaw's personal catcher.

Upon hearing about the trade, Ellis and Kershaw had a cry together.

Seriously

Corey Seager hit a bloop single to right with two outs in the 9th inning to ruin Matt Moore's no-hit bid. It was Moore's 133rd pitch.

It was also Corey Seager Bobblehead night at Dodger Stadium.

Seager should be in the NL MVP discussion. He's been hitting about .380 since Kershaw went on the DL... one of the reasons they've continued to win.

Cubs come into The Latrine tonight for what should be a preview of the upcoming playoffs.

Cubs are missing set-up guys (Strop and Rondon) but they should both be back for October.  Should be fun baseball to watch.

Another huge night for Gary Sanchez as the Yankees crush the Orioles.

Single, double, HR, 4 RBI.

Ten home runs this month is a Yankee rookie record.
