TWiB Notes -- May 17-23

bmfc1 May 17 2021 07:21 AM

I opened this to enjoy an article on a problem in the Phillies' dugout but began by saying "F**k You, Jim Salisbury!" https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/phillies/joe-girardi-phillies-defense-bryce-harper-didi-gregorius

I'm happy to see the Phils lose when the Mets need to them to. And I'm relieved to see that internal strife isn't exclusive to the Mets, but that story wasn't exactly peak-level Shirley Povich.

MLB HR Leader? I'll give you a clue, he's a pitcher. Shohei Otani just hit his 13th of the season Clubbed a ball that looked like it was over his head.

Mike Trout and his 1090 OPS hit the IL for "six to eight weeks " with a calf strain.

Another's no-hitter, this time by Spencer Turnbull of the Tigers. [tweet]https://twitter.com/tigers/status/1394882879507795970[/tweet]

The first non-Verlander one for the Tigers since Kevin Costner.

=G-Fafif post_id=64716 time=1621419809 user_id=55] Another's no-hitter, this time by Spencer Turnbull

His first career CG



The 8th in DET history. The one earlier this year was the 19th!! for the ChiSox

So Ohtani pitched four innings tonight and also batted second. After being pulled he went to RF which means not only does the LAA pitcher have to hit for the rest of the game but he does so in the meat of the lineup.

Your daily no-,no alert: the Yanx Cory Kluber is no-hitting the Rangers thru six

Edgy MD May 19 2021 08:17 PM Re: TWiB Notes -- May 17-23

Kluber is two outs into the eighth now.

Edgy MD May 19 2021 08:19 PM Re: TWiB Notes -- May 17-23

And that's out number 24 after a hard liner right at the rightfielder by Texas shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa. Kiner-Falefa is also my favorite Near East eatery at Citi Field.

Frayed Knot May 19 2021 08:26 PM Re: TWiB Notes -- May 17-23

Two outs to go

Frayed Knot May 19 2021 08:28 PM Re: TWiB Notes -- May 17-23

David Dahl at the plate for Texas -- Ball 1, Strike 1, Foul ball, line out to RF

Frayed Knot May 19 2021 08:29 PM Re: TWiB Notes -- May 17-23

And it's up to Willie Calhoun -- Strike called, ground out 4-3 Not sure if a no hitter even gets you Pitcher of the Week honors these days

seawolf17 May 19 2021 08:43 PM Re: TWiB Notes -- May 17-23

Six no-hitters already, but against only three teams: the Rangers, Mariners, and and Cleveland twice each.

bmfc1 May 20 2021 08:50 PM Re: TWiB Notes -- May 17-23

Webb, the guy that hit Pillar, made his first appearance tonight for ATL, in the 10th inning, and got hit around, giving up the go-ahead run and 3 straight hits.

G-Fafif May 20 2021 09:32 PM Re: TWiB Notes -- May 17-23

Albert Pujols hit homer No. 1 for the Dodgers, No. 668 in his career.

Frayed Knot May 21 2021 04:28 AM Re: TWiB Notes -- May 17-23

While we were taking the day off: Braves lost (to Pittsburgh which is like a double win), Nats lost, and the Phils lost (to the Marlins) so a trio of half-game pick-ups on the night. And while we catch some Miami sun, the weekend slate for the rest of the NL East looks like this: Braves continue their four-game series hosting the Buccos, Phils host the BoSox, Nats host the Orioles

This reminds me of how I was treated when picking teams at recess.
