2016 MLB Regular Season Thread: I'm the Captain now

[Melena]

the moneyball A's losing to the Yanks after starting up 2-0 was pretty terrible too

That series and the Giants blowing a 3-2 series to the Angels in the world series cause Dusty is a fucking moron are probably my two most heartbreaking series losses as a fan.

Estrada has been pitching for the better part of three months with a herniated disc.

Padres GM suspended 30 days by the MLB without pay.

From what I saw, he kept medical information from 3 teams they traded with and the teams complained to mlb. If so, he should be fired not suspended.

The Rangers being 1 strike away from winning the 2011 World Series... TWICE. The Cardinals coming back from down 2 runs in the bottom of an inning... TWICE. Once in the 9th inning and again in the 10th. Winning it in a walk off in the 11th.

FUCK Neftali Feliz... FUCK Nelson Cruz... And FUCK DAVID FREESE... TWICE!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck you guys and your heartbreaks. This was the motherfuckin World Series. Would have been our first, but instead gave the Cards their 11th.

FUCK EVERYBODY... TWICE!

yeah that's probably the worst

Another Casilla appearance, another blown save

[Obsidian]

Meanwhile the Orioles (and Tigers) finally lose a fucking game, and the Jays score one run on 9 hits against the goddamn Angels.

Thanks God the Angels don't have anyone who can actually hit batting in front of Trout.

[Obsidian]

Jon Gray also pitched a complete game shutout tonight with 16 strikeouts.

[BadKarma]

The Mets are somehow continuing to not suck despite 4 of their starting pitchers being donezo.

Who the fuck is TJ Rivera and where did he come from

BREWERS take 3 out of 4 at Wrigley, and BRAUN hit 3 more homers pushing his total to 30.

[Moss]

doesn't look like the Braves will catch the Twins for the #1 pick next year but it's nice to see Swanson playing well and Freddie Freeman is raking.

[Melena]

Giants blew another save. Thirty times now this bullpen has blown a lead.

[archibaldcrane]

Will Smith hasn't given up a run in his last 13 appearances, maybe use him in higher leverage situations?

[Obsidian]

Blue Jays had all 9 batters reach base and scored 8 runs on 8 hits without recording an out in the 4th inning against the Mariners. If we'd had one more hit for Edwin to score, all 9 batters would have scored too.

[NynJa]

OT question about earned runs
Presuming bases loaded and 2 outs: someone fouls out but the fielder flops it. Batter then hits a grand slam. All of those runs are unearned, right? Follow up, are any subsequent runs that inning considered unearned since the pitcher theoretically should have been out of the inning, or is he considered to have a clean slate and anyone who crosses home is an earned run (presuming no other errors?)

[Obsidian]

Dunno about dropped foul balls, but I'm 99% sure any run scored after an error that would have ended the inning is an unearned run.

[Obsidian]

JA Happ becomes the 6th pitcher in Blue Jays history to reach 20 wins in a season. Last one to do it was Doc in 2009 (I think?).

Edit: Doc did it in 2010 (21 wins).

[Melena]

Obsidian hit it. Any runs that score due to an error on the play would have been unearned. If the error occurred with 2 outs, any additional runs would be unearned.

Giants actually got a fucking save, Romo pitching a full inning.

[Obsidian]

The fucking grab Freeman just made to steal a base hit from Pillar. Jesus fucking Christ.
