First time as a kid I ever cried after a game. Garvey raising his arm rounding first in game 4 followed by Durham's stuff in game 5. More I think about it I don't remember crying ever again after a game in defeat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Been working all afternoon and wonder if Baez had been suspended. If not the MLB is so hypocritical. They suspended Garrett 5 games for yelling at Rizzo and Castellanos for 2 games for flexing over a player. I will be disappointed in the starting pitchers tonight if he doesn't throw at Baez.

IU Scott Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 The Refs pitchers just can't have an easy inning ever. I bet I can count on two hands the amount of 1,2,3 innings since the all star break. Everytime we get a lead it seems like our pitchers let the leadoff hitter on.

IU Scott Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Even with a 7-2 lead going to the bottom of the 9th is not safe with this bullpen. Garcia came in a gave up two solo homers and only got one out. Garrett walked his first batter but did get the final two outs for the win.

Billingsley99 Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 A great trivia question 1 day. Abraham Toro became the 1st player to Homer for a team one night and then Homer against that team the very next night. Abraham hit a homerun for the Astros against the Mariners and then was traded to Mariners and hit a homerun in 1st game with Seattle against the Astros 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just wait until the end of the series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Kimbrell, Bryant, and Tepera will go for sure. Maybe on Baez, Davies, and Rizzo. On the other hand, this is the Cubs, so who knows. I wouldn't be completely shocked if a trade came for someone unexpected like Contereas etc. depending on who they can get in return...I saw one site claiming cubs were maybe trying to get Dodgers top catching prospect Ruiz....which might make Contreras suddenly available.

TheWatShot Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 With a win last night, the Detroit Tigers matched their win total from the 2019 season, with 59 games to spare. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) Reading the story about the Reds trade on the score and the comments from the Yankees fan was hysterical. They were discussing who the PTBNL could be and they brought.up Suarez or Winker. They are nuts to think either one of those two would be involved in this trade.
