You guys needed these vs whatever that was we ran up there as a lineup. 9 games out. Wild Card only....unless the 69 Mets are going to be reincarnated.

Not sure what the Padres have left as far as schedule, but hoping it is a heavy dose of Giants and Dodgers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up until the All star break I was rooting hard for the Padres. Since gonna hope they lose every game but they are fun to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crap the Cubs organization has been running out there shouldn't be beating anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed David Ross @IU Scott's "lowly Cubs" comment during the 2nd inning, hence the fired up Cubs hitters... 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud2BAHoosier Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 So... Right on cue "Homerun Heaney" gives up a homerun in the very 1st inning!!! I don't know who in the he double hockey sticks convinced the Yanks to take this guy, but they should be fired!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know who in the he double hockey sticks convinced the Yanks to take this guy, but they should be fired!!! Looks like I need to eat crow tonight as Heaney actually pitched a good game and got the win as the Yanks swept the Red Sawks 5-2 and completed a 3 game sweep!! But it didn't come easy as in the top of the 9th and the Yanks leading 5-1, Chapman came in to close the game. He got 1 out but the next batter hit a towering homerun and 2 batters later, had runners on 1st and 3rd. Boone saw enough and took Chapman out and replaced him with Lucas Luetge and thanks to some guy named Anthony Rizzo ( anyone remember him?) made a sparkling play at first base to end the game! Rizzo also had a 2 run hit earlier in the game. This was his first start back since coming off the Covid list. How SWEEP It Is!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted August 19, 2021 Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 It is sad that the Reds can't beat a minor league team. The Reds are way to inconsistent to ever put a huge run together. They have gone from 8 down to 2 down and then back up to 8 back to 3 and back up to 8 back to 4 and now back to 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said the Reds better keep an eye on the Phils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they get into the play-offs they will have earned it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at this lineup. Somehow back in May I didn't see this would be the Cubs lineup in August. Haha...and I know Happ has to have photos of Ricketts or Hoyer somewhere.

Proud2BAHoosier Posted August 19, 2021 Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 (edited) I know a lot of you guys are NL fans, but here is something that every ball player dreams about. Yankees have a player named Andrew Velazquez. He played a very big part in last nights game against the Red Sawks. He drove in 2 runs and made the spectacular play to first basemen, Anthony Rizzo, to end the game. It's a feel good story because he is a native of the Bronx and had dreamed of wearing the pinstripes.

I thought the runner was safe until replay and like usual he got it right on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Votto is tied for 3rd in the NL in Home Runs Joey Votto missed 30 games earlier this year due to injury. With a strong September, he has to enter the MVP conversation doesn't he? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
