It was the Dodgers. They have three days to make a deal with the Phillies. CBS Sports doesnt think its going to shake out.
 
Yeah, was good to see teh Chisox beat up on LAA. Detroit has a rough week of 4 in NY and 3 in Texas, I'd like to see a little bigger lead in the central 😉
 
Phillies sellout streak ended at 257 games today, not counting post-season. Knew it wouldn't last through this dreadful season but impressive nonetheless. Call us Phillies fans what you want, but you cannot say we aren't passionate.

Given the suckage and surrender, this was inevitable. Only 41,165 fans in the stadium tonight, drastically short of the 43,651 seat capacity. With that few folks, you can hear a pin or a batting average drop. 😉

Yeah, maybe I'll be actually able to enjoy a game in that park soon. 😉

Nats stadium is already starting to sell out, so SRO tix are getting scarcer if I wanna take a cheap date there. Speaking of which, Nats and Reds go into tonight with the best records in baseball. Both have absolutely miniscule Runs Allowed at 390 and 403, with Pitt breathing down their necks at 405. You have to give credit to Pitt's pitching this year, holy hell.
 
Magnificent perfect game by King Felix, using off speed stuff for 59% of pitches!

He had his breaking stuff working Wednesday; his 25 swing-and-misses on breaking pitches are the most by anyone since 2009. Hernandez also used all four of his pitches to get 27 outs against the Rays but increased his off-speed usage to its highest total of the season -- 59 percent of pitches.

Hernandez worked in the lower third of the zone for most of the game, throwing half his pitches in the lower third of the zone and below. Hernandez used the breaking balls on 42 of the 57 pitches, gaining 15 outs with 11 strikeouts, including six strikeouts on pitches out of the zone. He also ramped it up when it counted most, averaging a season-high 93.2 mph with his fastball. With the perfect game becoming more of a reality, Hernandez picked up the pace of the heater later in the game, averaging 92.2 in innings one through three, 93.5 in innings four through six and 94.3 in the final three frames, including eight pitches of 95 mph or faster.

To the coaches out there, remind your pitchers to keep that ball down!

And a no hitter or two in there as well. I think it was 2010 that Edwin Jackson threw a no-hitter against them all the while walking EIGHT batters.

Sometimes they (the Rays), just look really fucking terrible for the amount of talent they have.
 
White Sox sweep the Yankees after being swept by the Royals... hmmmm... Sale is just ridiculous.

6 weeks left of regular season!
