Monday July 17: Dodgers in town for 3

[Uli2001]

Some good news: Texas tied Tampa.

After every inning, the umps check the pitcher's glove and hand and anything they can think of, just to make sure he didn't have a chance of sneaking an illegal pitch in there.

Then I watch Vesia lick his fingers, and lick his fingers again (not that he's the only one who does this), and then strike Rutschman out.

Wonder how long it's been since any pitcher was called for throwing a spitball?

Vespi looks like a total douche. Mullet, tatted, chain. The works.

If people so obssesed with prospects playing then we should trade a bunch for Ohtani. Stop wanting to prospect hoard and jerking off to top 100 lists

At least Cano and Bautista get another day off.  This offense is the toughest we have faced.  No easy outs. Tons of tough at-bats.  Some others have more raw talent, but this one grinds you up. 

Atlanta was just like this imo. Almost no weaknesses.

[Just Regular]

Like Vesia, both Brusdar and Evan P. pitched both SAT/SUN.

I took a walk when Baker was called in, but in looking at the boxscore I see no error was given Hicks for failing to catch that first play in the 6th.

Baker's been flirting with it awhile but it has basically gotten to the point I don't have much taste for him in the 13 pitchers at all come August 2nd.

[O's84]

That's about as good as it get's.

[Moose Milligan]

I thought Adley couldn't throw?

One of Adley's better throws this season. Nice.

So is this the way the Mr.Splash talked?  What do you think its probably a kid?

[dtk9119]

That was maybe one of Adley's best throws this year. And a great scoop by Westburg. 

[Aristotelian]

Good job Vespi. Let's get some runs. We're not dead yet.

Kinda like male members of your extended family?

Definitely no weaknesses but not the discipline.  You could get them to chase.
