Not saying it's good or bad just different. A man will lose his job and probably never work that industry again for making a very inappropriate comment on air, thousands of people across this country are looking and destroying property but private and public and are heralded by many. Very few have lost jobs due to these illegal activities. Once again just a statement. Someone, somewhere has to draw a line in the sand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 Man I miss the days when a batter comes up and all they show was average, HR, and RBI. Today it is like you have to know calculus to know what those stats they showing means. On the MLBN they show OBP, slugging and something called WRC plus.

Proud2BAHoosier Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 S**t!! If the Yankees didn't have any bad luck they wouldn't have any luck at all!! Looks like the injury bug has reared its' ugly head and bit the the Yankees with a vengeance.... Last night Cole strikes out 10 in a 4-2 loss to the Rays as Britton coughs up the 2 winning runs and goes on the IL with a hammy. Today, Gleyber Torres gets injured. They already are without their top bats, Judge, Stanton, and DJ. Can it get any worse?? Go Yanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 Watched the last few innings of the rays and Yankees and I am amazed how well the rays can do without any big name players. The Rays and A's are teams with low payrolls and who have to keep replenishing their teams but keep winning. Then my Reds can never really develop players from their system and have to go the route of trades and free agency but they just stay down.

Credit Maddon for the Rays still to this day but the A's have similar culture in their clubhouse. Amazing what playing with a chip on your shoulder does with professional players.

IU Scott Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 Reds up 4-2 going to the bottom of the 9th but they have found another way to blow a game. They brought in their closer Inglesias who had not been great so in the first 4 batters we had a HBP, walk, a single to load the bases. Infield hit off of the pitcher to score a run then a ball to tie the game. Finally took the closer out but it is tied but the bases is loaded with one out.

IU Scott Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 Well the Reds lost a game they had pretty much in control. The top of the 9th Reds Left the bases loaded so if they would have scored there it would probably be over. Still wish the managers would keep in guys who were pitching well instead of having to put your closer in. Sims and Garrett pitched two great innings of relief striking out five of six batters. Why not keep a guy in who you know is pitching well. It is not like Iglesias has been a lights out closer the last couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 Cubs/White Sox start up tonight. Sox building this one up...Cubs not so much. Lester, Hendricks, Darvish in that order for series. Obviously want to win series but I really want to see our bats come alive again. Our offense hasn't been clicking since series in Cleveland. Always a fun one to watch.

This Cubs/Sox series takes on a different level though....at least for the fans. Hard to describe but it's almost like 2 separate playoff series during the regular season. Sometimes I think it can work against both teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
