Leathernecks Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Ryu for the Dodgers is perfect through 5. Long way to go obviously, but he's only at 54 pitches, so pitch count shouldn't be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Strange with the Reds. Over a 15-20 year period they were a dominant sports team with multiple division, league, and world series titles....but because of poor leadership/administration they can't get out of their own way over the last 20-25 years. Eerily familiar to another sports team. Back to baseball. Bryant with huge walk off blast to win last night. First pitch wind chill was 33 degrees in Chicago. No one ever gets used to playing in these temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 How about this for tough. NL Central has 4 teams with winning records and the Reds have a +21 run differential. Talk about tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their record in one run games, however, sucks. I know you are a huge fan of analytics, so you probably already know this. But, with the run differential, the Reds overall record should be flipped. If so, they would be tied with the Cardinals, a half game behind the Chubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud2BAHoosier Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Talk about tough! The injury depleted Yanks (where have I seen this before, Hoosiers), were down 4-2 in the 9th and came back to win against the Mariners last night! A couple of ill ins are making their presence known in big ways. First it was a game tying HR by Gio Urshela, who is filling in for the injured Andujar ( who may have a tough time getting his spot back). Then another call up, Cameron Maybin scores the game winner on a base hit by DJ LeMahieu for a 5-4 come from behind win!! All in all Yanks are playing good ball despite all of their injuries and look forward to getting the pitchers and players back.... Go Yanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steubenhoosier Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Twins sweep the Jays, and in the three game series give up one run. Pitching used to be their sore spot. We'll see if they have the depth and stamina to keep this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
