Playoffs don’t count.  

I think they count the most.

Rangers swept them.

Teams in the playoffs start out with records of 0-0. Write an angry letter to MLB to make them include regular season stats in the playoffs. They currently don't count toward them.

Shocking.. a normal clean inning

Didn't the Reds sweep us too? Or maybe it was 2 of 3?

2 out of 3 but they looked better than us and were smoking balls everywhere.

June has been bad, but he's had fewer ABs with an unlucky BABIP of .182. He did hit a HR on Friday night and his OPS is 724 heading into today with 1.3 BWAR. 

If his July looks the same then I agree 

We've seen this Mateo spiral before. He's been very good this year, but it's time for Mayo anyways.

They are just for fun. Like a bonus.

Is it in Kevin Browns contract he must say the words “Gold Glover Urias” once per telecast?

This reminds me of that pitching advice from MacGregor, Flanagan, or one of those guys from that era, which is "when you can't hit your target, try throwing it down the middle on purpose and then you'll hit the corner."

That advice also works when you can't throw it over the plate, so you try hitting a corner and it'll end up over the plate. 

Are you thinking of Davey Johnson's unfavorable chance deviation theory?

Quote

When you're wild, aim for the middle of the plate because since you're wild, it won't go where you want it. The ball will hit the corners, which is what you really want.

One run in the last 12 innings. Let’s see if the offense can make it interesting again. 

[Moshagge3]

Chip away, guys.

[eddie83]

Nice call Ump.

Palmer likes to say "Gold Glove Caliber" for Mateo, too. 

[eddie83]

Adley is ticked.

Cardinals swept us.

I didn’t feel like they dominated though. It was a weird series with a rain delay in every game.

Possibly. He was the mathematician.
