2016 regular-season game chatter

daamn

"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

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.

@pedromoura
Max Scherzer had more strikeouts tonight than Jered Weaver has in 2016.

just a bunch of outs

from the comments section on fangraphs:

Brad Ausmus has been involved in three of the five 20K games. He struck out twice against Kerry Wood in 1998, he struck out once (and got a hit) against Roger Clemens in 1996, and now he managed the Tigers against Max Scherzer.

thor wants some attention, decides to hit two homers against kenta maeda

No walks in all four 20-K games.

didn't realise that last year's no-hitter vs the mets was the game with the most strikeouts for two teams in a 9 innings game: 35.

that "k" pic looks like someone was leaning on the keyboard.

Giants, Angels and White Sox most interested in Freak

the rangers have called up 2004 first overall draft pick and intermittent jailbird matt bush to make his major league debut

whoa

Major League Baseball has suspended Colorado Rockies shortstop Jose Reyes without pay through May 31 for violating its domestic violence policy, the league announced Friday.

Reyes will not appeal. The suspension is retroactive to Feb. 23, when Reyes was first put on paid leave by the league. Through Thursday, he had missed 34 games.

such a brave loss

ST. LOUIS -- They have determination, they have grit.

Martinez finally found a rhythm and managed to get through five innings.

Arrieta's game score, 40, was his lowest in more than a year. That, perhaps, is something to feel good about even if an eight-game deficit in the division standings isn't.

One fateful inning did in Martinez, much as it had Wacha the night before. Martinez worked a good inning before it and three good innings after it. In the second, the Cubs hit line drives all over the field.

Martinez puffed up with pride a bit when describing how he was able to regroup and stay in the game without a long reliever available.

They must avoid fateful innings and focus on making statements.

martinez was ace-like except for that inning where he gave up six runs. arrieta meanwhile is basically trash.

dan uggla had a 33 game hitting streak in 2011. just wanted to mention that.

and he ended up with a .233 average. how did that even happen?
