So you could have a perfect game - but with runners having been on base (start 8th, start 9th).

Yawn..............

Good season so far

------

Cant believe Dodgers lost last night.  I got through a full seven innings, checking in on Dustin May, one of my aces -  figured it was over

Credit Padres.

Monday night, Ohtani was the first pitcher to start a game while leading the majors in home runs since Babe Ruth in 1921, says the news. (Ruth lead the AL in homers in 1930, when he started, but not MLB.)

Let's see how long that lasts. IMO, if they stay in the race, they should restrict him to pitching only, once we get to mid-August and going forward. That way he can focus on where he can help the team most.

Nothing wrong with Jackie Robinson Day, but it is waaayyy past time for Curt Flood Day:

MLBPA needs to lobby for this.

Good game tonight between the Red Sox and Mets.

It was nice to see the BoSox come out on top in a tightly pitched close game. We'll need to win a goodly number of those to have this season go very far past 162.

Wow!

1-0, tonight, over deGrom, after the 2-1 win last night.

Gotta feel for deGrom, though. What's his ERA? 0.50, but a 2-2 record?!

A 2-hitter

Mets took JDG out at 93 pitches - deserve to lose.

Had no impact on the result of the game.

Right

Just something to watch

Idiots already saying JDG may not reach certain statistical levels because Mets will be limiting his innings late in the season.

"Well, having thrown just 68 innings a year ago......"

Oy.

I am looking for 300th strikeout to come in less than 200 innings.  Lets see if he attains that level.  Already has the highest K per 9 in history among starting pitchers, besting COLE from 2019.

Couldn't expect a shut out two days running, I suppose.

Good game by the Rangers.
