Some people were calling it accidental too, but when you watch the replay Flowers points at Anderson twice and makes zero attempt to catch the ball. I had a good laugh.

Bottom of the 15th, down 6-4, 2 outs, 2 on.

Up steps to the plate none other than recently acquired...relief pitcher Jordan Lyles, a career .123 hitter.

He walks in 5 pitches.

Backup catcher Erik Kratz, who has caught 15 innings already, squeaks a 2-strike single 6 inches past a diving shortstop to score 2 and tie the game.

And then Orlando Arcia, arguably the worst hitting regular player in baseball, hits a grounder through the right side to score Lyles from 2nd.

BREWERS win, 7-6.

Gonna take the newborn to meet the rest of the family in NYC next month. Little sister being as awesome as she is bought tickets for the opening game for Yankees/Red Sox series for me and our little brother.

They are a fun as hell team to watch, Davis is a fucking monster, and you're watching a team that is now currently 56-0 after leading after 7 innings. The only team in MLB to not lose a game after leading after 7. Oh and they also have the Major's best record since June 15th and are something insane like 17-1-2 in their last 19 series.

You sold me. Better than watching Raw. True story, when I bought MLB The Show 16 a few years back I drafted Davis during my fantasy draft for Franchise. He's my #8 hitter but is like, 2nd in the league for average (I just play normal mode). And about that game, I just picked up players in the later rounds I thought looked like they had nice stats. Judge, Story, Nola, and David Dahl. Harper was one of my early picks and he's probably 7th best hitter on my team.

I'm your brother now. See you there.

I’m curious as hell about the Yankees record this season against sub .500 teams.

They play to their opponents level unless it's the Red Sox.

[Boyiee]

Like 60 home runs are on the DL lol.

[Xno Kappa]

What the fuck!? Watching the yankee game with the Boston/Miami scoreboard on the side. Step out the room for a few minutes, come back and they’re fucking up 14-5? How the hell did that happen? Did they hit multiple grandslams back to back to back?

[Obsidian]

They scored 11 runs in the bottom of the 7th.

Andrew Benintendi was all three outs that inning which I found hilarious.

[Obsidian]

Equally as funny, the Reds and Brewers are tied at 10 in 7th, lol.

[archibaldcrane]

Christian Yelich is the 4th player in MLB history with a 6-hit cycle.

Jesus Aguilar just broke the 11-11 tie in the top of the 10th with a solo bomb to straightaway center.

This game has been insane.

Today's Twins Vs Indians game was limited to Facebook's new streaming platform Facebook Watch and wasn't available on traditional TV. Fans of both teams are pissed.

[Obsidian]

Jays game earlier in the season was like that. Pretty much unanimous hatred for it among fans.

Stanton fifth fastest player ever to get to 300 homeruns. Last few games cost him and let Arod stay in front lol.
