I looked it up because it was hard to believe it was 13.  It was changed to 16 this year.

Good point. Fact checking Blarg is always a legit excuse.

I hope they do extend him, because I don't want the Angels going anywhere near him on a multi-year deal:

Kyle Schwarber in August so far:

9 HR, 19 RBI, 23 Walks...from the leadoff spot.

He is such an odd player.  He only has 18 hits the whole month--9 HR as you pointed out, plus 3 doubles, and only 6 singles.  Lol.

You’d hate him.

I fucking hate the Mariners.

The fight last year, the 4 game sweep this year. 

This is Dipoto's revenge.

Do you hate us more than the Astros though?

Former Angel Kyle Barraclough started the 6th inning with a 4-3 lead (came on in relief in the 5th).  He ends up finishing the game going 4.1 innings, giving up 11 hits, 10 runs, and 5 walks and the Red Sox lost 13-5.  

Don't know the situation with their bullpen but puzzling to see them just essentially punt a game against the Astros.

[m0nkey]

Alex Cobb has a no hitter thru 8

[m0nkey]

"The Martian" going to make his debut Friday for the Yankees. This guy was hyped to the moon when he first signed, and then COVID hit.  Still just 20 years old

Lance Lynn had a rough outing last night.  His FIP as a Dodger is worse than it was as a White Sox, it’s at 5.81.  His ERA is 3.57 as a Dodger which is still good, but dare I say a little lucky?

Acuna became the first player to go 30/60 last night.  Amazing player.
