Bryce Harper 2-24 in his last 7 games, including tonights

RIPeavy

this davies kid on the brewers looks like he belongs in little league

(brewers/angels the free game today)

he's one inning away from a quality start, which is kinda significant given how much Milwaukee pitching has been getting knocked around

triple and a dinger for trout today

Hey Bill: When everything is taken into account, how do you see Bud Selig's legacy as commissioner?

I think he's the greatest commissioner any league has ever had.

Ouch.

wow bryce was tossed arguing a called third strike from the dugout and a nat just hit a walkoff rt after

which i think a fan reached out to grab lol

this was an entertaining game, that the espn booth just talked abt venezuela all throughout (which was actually fine + interesting tbh)

boof bonser will be inducted into the hagerstown suns hall of fame on saturday

Bonser, who will be joined by his family, said that he is “very pleased” with how the bobble head has turned out and is “excited to be back in Hagerstown”.

brendan ryan to the angels for (no-doubt miniscule) cash considerations

michael bourn to the diamondbacks on a minor-league deal (and assigned to double-a mobile, yikes)

@dschoenfield
We're through 12 innings in Houston and Terry Francona has already burned through all EIGHT of his relievers....

just gotta k cabrera and the martinezes for the record. easy peasy.

miggy down

"We still see him as a reliever going forward." -- Diamondbacks front office

that arm will look mighty nice right next to wood's on dusty's mantle

i knew that comment was coming

didn't get there until the end of #19 but damn that's cool

so happy for him. dude deserves it all and much more.

96 strikes, that's fucking nuts

Good thinking by Ausmus to leave Castellanos on the bench and have McCann (.108/.175/.108) hit with the tying run on base.

sort of creeped out by that pair of disembodied legs i thought was a pause sign at first

i wonder how much him being with the tigers until 2014 had to with it

@BNightengale
And to think the #Dbacks actually traded away Max Scherzer to #tigers, convinced that he would break down. Oops

Only three "Whoa!!!!"s from William Ladson this evening. He must be feeling under the weather.
