Re: 2017 MLB Thread
89 should be on here bragging on his Nats. They're running away with the NL East. Definitely WS-bound. ![Cool 8-)](./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)

Re: 2017 MLB Thread
While saying Nats are Series bound is a bit premature, I think it is safe to say they are playoff bound barring major injuries.

Rockies still holding up, can they be for real?

They're good at home and away. Rockies are just mediocre at home and great away.Ivytalk wrote:Even the red-hot Astros are better on the road than at home.89Hen wrote: 15-13 at home and 21-10 on the road.

Re: 2017 MLB Thread
The Rockies winning on the road is something new. 2009 was their best coming into this year at 41-40. I attribute this year to much better hitting on road and consistent starting pitching, a rarity for the Rockies.

Re: 2017 MLB Thread
Max Scherzer is just an absolute beast and crazy competitor. 14 K's in 7 innings last night at the Dodgers, including 11 K's in the first 4 innings (had to record four outs in one inning because of passed third ball on a K). 38 K's in last three starts. He gets fired up on the mound. ![#thumb :thumb:](./images/smilies/thumb.gif)

Re: 2017 MLB Thread
Can't let the day go on without recognizing one of the most impressive offensive displays in baseball history, by one of the least likely players.
Scooter Gennett of the Cincinnati Reds went 5 for 5 with 4 HR's and 10 RBI's in last night's game.

http://www.espn.com/blog/sweetspot/post ... mance-everHe entered the game with three home runs all season, just 38 in his career, and just one two-homer game. It makes him the least likely member of the four-homer club, at least since Bobby Lowe all the way back in 1894.

Strasburg and Kershaw dueling it out. Nats get an HR from Zim in the 2nd and Stras holds them to 1 hit through 5 but then gives up 2 runs in the 6th. ![Mad :x](./images/smilies/icon_mad.gif)

Will Strasburg be healthy until the All-Star Break, or will he visit the DL after?89Hen wrote:Strasburg and Kershaw dueling it out. Nats get an HR from Zim in the 2nd and Stras holds them to 1 hit through 5 but then gives up 2 runs in the 6th.

That'll happen when the division leader only has 18 losses. A wild card berth would do just fine.CAA Flagship wrote:Still 12 games out of first.
