Thornton tore his achilles with that trip.
They’re also only 2.5 games behind the banged-up Astros in the division.
That fucking sucks. I have no dog in the AL hunt, but that’s a lousy way to end to a season.
In typical Cub fashion, one of the pitchers they acquired at the deadline, Michael Soroka, left his first start with the team after two innings with shoulder soreness.
Interestingly, they were playing the Reds, whose starter Nick Lodolo also left the game in the 2nd inning, with a blister on his index finger.
Even with the suspensions, the Guardians aren’t going away. Entertaining game last night saw Cleveland choke away a lead but came back to win it in 10. Guardians are now 17-7 since July 7
Even better when it happens multiple days in a row.
Yowza.
Aaron Judge off the IL.
Judge didn’t help, the Yankees are now in the last WC spot, only .5 games ahead of Texas. And the BoSox keep on rolling.
‘Tis a great season for those who enjoy Yankees suckitude.
Milwaukee was smart to walk away from Devin Williams. A night after Williams gave up a game tying homer in the ninth, managerial genius Aaron Boone decides to stick with him no matter what happens. Give up a hit and then two walks to load the bases, and then a lefty coming up? Why, you’d be crazy to bring in Tim Hill.
Of course the Yankee ‘offense’ did zilch so it didn’t much matter, anyway. Eovaldi is having a nice season. I always liked that guy.
It’s America’s past time. The only thing I do every day is check to see if the Mariners won and if the Yankees lost.
In their last 60 games, the Brewers are 44-16; it’s the best such stretch in franchise history. They now have a four-game lead over the Cubs in the NL Central.
I’m semi-sorry to hear that. I’ve adopted the Mariners as my team when the home squad are no longer in contention. Maybe this year is the year.
Juan Soto homered with 1 out in the 9th to ruin Gavin Williams’s no-hitter.
Juan Soto replaces Kyle Schwarber as Cleveland’s most hated current player.
Swept the Mets tho so that’s pretty cool. We’re 6 out of first place. Seems like a lot but I think we were 19.5 out at one point.
According to Baseball-Reference, the farthest behind for Cleveland this season is 15.5, but that was on July 8, less than a month ago. If they keep up that pace, they’ll win the division.
The first female MLB ump will be calling games this weekend.
I support that decision.
Cubs pitcher Andrew Kittredge threw the 120th immaculate inning in MLB history.
Kid looks to be the real deal, so as a Sox fan zero complaints. Tons of incentives too.
Or he could refuse to fill in as a relief pitcher and wind up getting traded for a couple guys in A ball so the team can get out of his contract.
There’s always hope though.
