Notes: The
Nationals are having issues with their rivals, the Atlanta Braves. They are two
points behind the Braves. To make matters worse, Bryce Harper, one of the stars
of the team, has surgery for an ingrown toenail! Can the Nationals win the
games without their super batter?
dr. maddux cut out my ingrown toenail and told me to go back to work. so maybe bryce won't be out for long. like the simplicity of your standings, but would like a " games behind column", since it is the first statistic i look for when i view baseball standings. go yankees!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd from the A's Gazette: Oakland 4 at Seattle 3 (phew). The losing streak ends at five games.
ReplyDeleteAfter Sunday's action, the Nats have 3 points while the Braves have five.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, the Yankees have 10 points, Baltimore has 8, and the Red Sox have 6.
A's, losers of six of their previous seven, opened a series with Texas with a 5-1 win Monday night. Huge win. Oakland (20-20) is now five games behind the division-leading Rangers, who have won seven of their last 10.
ReplyDeleteSecond of three-game series is scheduled for 9:05 Central tonight.
4-4 through eight innings ... with one on and two out in bottom half, A's appear to have gotten hosed again ...

Barton did appear to be safe at first base. It took Melvin less than 30 seconds to get ejected.

MLB.com is live streaming the game right now for free.
ReplyDeleteNo more ... and it's a good thing ... the live stream appeared to be jinxing the A's ... Rangers have first and second with one out ...
ReplyDeleteStrikeout ... live stream was a jinx ...
DeleteSTRIKEOUT! ... jinx confirmed!
DeleteDue up in bottom of ninth for A's: Adam Rosales, Jed Lowrie and my main man Yoenis Céspedes. Remains 4-4 ...
ReplyDeleteRosales pop out.
DeleteLowrie strikeout (Texas pitcher Tanner Scheppers has a 0.46 ERA).
DeleteDown 0-2 on two fouls off 95mph-plus pitches ...
DeleteTwo more fouls ... latest pitch was 98 mph!
DeleteFly out to right.
DeleteWell, heck ... I've got to get to bed. Come on, A's.
ReplyDeleteARRRRRRGH!
ReplyDeleteA's threw their closer, Grant Balfour, in the scoreless top of the ninth but then came back with another pitcher, Chris Resop, and he gave up a couple of home runs. So Rangers have 6-4 advantage going into bottom of the 10th. Oakland scores one and has bases loaded with one out(!)--only to have Texas's Joe Nathan shut her down with a strikeout/groundout finish. URGH!
Last of the three-game series with the division-leading Rangers (six games up on second-place Oakland and seven on third-place Seattle) is scheduled for 2:35 p.m. Central today in Oakland.
