Another no-no.

They seem to be becoming more frequent, or maybe I'm just old.

5 this season already ....

130-some pitches

Sweet.

Today is the 7th day in MLB history with both a no-hitter (Mike Fiers) and a 3-HR game (Yoenis Cespedes) ... 3 of them have come this season

Fiers? I dropped him in fantasy baseball 3 days ago. He killed me all year. Typical.

C.C. Sabathia lasted just 2 2/3 innings in today’s start before leaving due to pain in his right knee. The veteran lefty will at least be shut down for a while, though Yankees GM Brian Cashman told reporters (including MLB.com’s Grace Raynor) that he presumed Sabathia will need a DL stint “just because he walked off the field without even throwing another pitch.” Sabathia underwent surgery on that same knee in 2014 and has been bothered by pain for much of this season, which could partially explain his rough 5.24 ERA over 135 2/3 innings. The Yankees had planned to expand to a six-man rotation upon Michael Pineda‘s impending return from the DL, though those plans are on hold with Sabathia sidelined.

The Orioles announced that shortstop J.J. Hardy has been placed on the 15-day DL with a left groin injury, and he’ll undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the injury. Hardy, who also missed all of April with a strained shoulder, has hit only .220/.251/.313 in 353 plate appearances this season, his first under a three-year, $40MM extension signed last October. Ryan Flaherty will likely handle shortstop duties while Hardy is out, though the O’s also have Paul Janish at Triple-A.

Joc Pederson has lost his job as the Dodgers‘ everyday center fielder, manager Don Mattingly told reporters (including ESPN’s Mark Saxon). Enrique Hernandez will take over in center for the time being. Pederson enjoyed a huge start to his rookie season but has been in a protracted slump since early June, hitting just .168/.328/.298 with six homers over his last 259 PA.

Happens to almost all of em.
The league catches up.
And then the talent figures it out, and makes a career work.
Patience I believe it's called.

They need to become grinders

Some make it

Some don't

But yeah, guys like Gardy apparently need veterans, and cannot handle younger players.

And guys like Gardy don't get managing jobs again.

The Pirates Alvarez matching his errors and homers. (20).

Growing pains allowed more readily in other places.

Manny Machado would have been moved to outfield by now had Gardy been his manager.

Machado honestly looked like it was too much to ask, to bend over to field the ball in extras.
I love Showalter .... He had to be EXPLODING inside.

Ernie was about to have a stroke over them.

THe 3rd baseman's attempt looked high-school-ish on the ball that scored Pesky.

That was embarrassing defense behind Liriano yesterday. I caught some of that game and it was brutal. What is wrong with Alvarez? No doubt I could outplay him at 1B.

They've hoped to hide him.
Nope.
Simply not good enough.
Needs to be one of those high-paid AL slugs who only hit. Think they call em DHs.

Perkins would have paid someone to beat him up.
If he thinks his D has been brutal, he shoulda watched that.
Really embarassing. A couple went thru Alvarez. Thru him. Not sure how.
At least have enough pride to beat it up and keep it in front of you. As an infielder, that's always in your bag.
Teammates and managers will stick with you if you're at least willing to do that for them.

And he didn't even get charged an error (nobody did) on that popup that 3 guys let drop. The very next play he dropped an easy throw from the 3B.

How would he look at the top of the Twins rotation right now.

Ten individuals hit homers in last nights Phils/Mets game.
All-time record.

Yanks and Astros with a playoff preview maybe ... 1-0 with another BelTRAN walk-off.

Danny Vee with his 12th last night.
Loving it in Oakland

Our old buddy Ronny Wash installed as the new third base coach in Oakland too.
Mike Gallego was the third base coach ... Had gotten 20 runners thrown out at home. 20.

That's a lot of outs.

Val has found life beyond the Gardy-dome, that's for sure.

Sabathia out/year? Girardi is piecing it together a game at a time.

O's drop/add guys after the Twins sweep. Yeah, Buck is seething.

They've fallen back to .500

Seems like this year teams in that hunt get hot, then freeze. There is little consistency by a number of teams.
