Proud2BAHoosier Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) Holy Cow Batman!!! The Yanks turned their 3rd triple play of the season!! It couldn't have come at a more important time of the game. The Yanks had a 2-1 lead on the Oakland A's. The top of the 9th and in comes Chapman, (man it's a real adventure when he is in), and promptly has runners on 1st and 2nd base with no outs. He induces the hitter to hit a smash to 3rd base and BOOM!! A triple play to end the game!! The Yankees also managed to take the series 2 games to 1. How sweet it is!!!

IU Scott Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) Reds just got swept in a four game series to SD 3-2 in today's game. For me baseball has to be the most frustrating sport to he a fan of in all of sports. Even if your team is good you will have to go throughout 65-70 losses a year. For anyone who Hates losing it is tough to follow your baseball team. The Reds came into this series having won 13 out of 16 and 6 straight. SD was coming in having list 13 out of 17 and only scoring 30 runs in those 13 losses. It appears the Reds can beat the bad to mediocre teams but can't beat the contenders.

IU Scott Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 We will see what the Reds is made up over the next 11 game home stand. They still have two games on the road trip at Minnesota but after that it gets really tough. Atlanta 4 games. Philadelphia 1 game make up. SD 3 games. Cubs 3 games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reds just got beat by Houston losing their 4th in a row and putting them 10.5 GB in the standings with a 41-41 record. Cincy would go onto to finish with a 90-71 record and the NL West title. Point being, let's just see how they stand at the AS break. Plenty of ball to be played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to see it but he's losing it. Cubs might need 2 starters now as we approach July trade deadline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molina couldn't carry Bench's jockstrap. Yadier couldn't carry Carter's or Fisk's either. Nor could he carry Munson's. Molina is just fortunate that he plays in this era.
