Meant to post this a few weeks ago. Just 59 sec vid but shows just how much movement Dallas Keuchel has on his pitches. Amazing stuff.
Rangers sweep Nationals in Washington which seemed very unlikely.
That Judge homer was MASSIVE, He is a freak.
Colorado continue to improve and surprise a lot of people (Not me) they have gone 8-2 in the last 10 and are 24-11 AWAY from Coors field. Incredible stuff so far in a loaded division

I got excited about Goldschmidt's 460ft Grand Slam...I'd best go home and check out this Judge hit!

Followed it up later with his 21st HR
Absolutely amazing and loving how we are going currently
When you consider that the yankees opened the season with one pitching ace, and that pitching ace has a terrible record getting belted all over the park, then it is even more amazing how well the Yankees are going.

Aaron Judge is such an excited player at the plate. He'll be getting close to 50 HR's this year if he can stay healthy and the RoY is in the bag. He could even go close to the MVP, too.
My Cubbies are definitely taking Joe Maddon's "Embrace the Suck" motto on board this year. We've been terrible all year and despite it we're 31-32 and 1.5GB in the division.

So slightly off topic for the guys and girls that have been to MLB live, I am planning my trip at end of year, where is the best spots to sit???
Huh. Who knew BF had a MLB forum.
My RedSox are doing ok, although tough away trip against Yankees.
Be nice if they could start hitting a few long balls though.

H, looking for help. Is it difficult to obtain a ticket for a post season game? cheers
Stub Hub,
They won't be up until after the post season teams and dates are confirmed.
For those who are more familiar with the finer details of the game, I just got an email from the Cubs (I am on their supporter email list after attending a game) detailing what they drafted. Something like 25 pitchers and then about a dozen position players.
Do clubs literally draft pitchers with a scatter gun approach hoping that some of them will work out?

I can only speak for the Cubs, that after going very position player heavy in the last few drafts, they're in a situation where the organisation doesn't have many high-end pitchers. Outside of the Cubs rotation (which isn't that good), bullpen (not that good) and guys like Cease/Clifton who are some time away, they need to draft for pitching. This draft for the Cubs was always going to be pitcher heavy and probably next years too.
In hindsight, the Cubs would've been better off selecting Giolito, Wacha or Stroman over Almora. It was a poor selection.
Stop sleeping on your neck incorrectly bearded one.

D'Backs win 6 in a row...everyone else in the West keeps winning so gaining nothing! Serious division of death right now. The second, third, and fourth best records in baseball...

deGrom hit his first HR today against the Nats. Finally picked up a win against them after two heavy losses.

Another day, another win for all 3 NL West teams! I guess at least we go to Coors this week, so a chance to close the gap

Braves talking about moving Freeman to 3rd base for the rest of the year. Seems very strange, left handers don't often play any infield position except 1st base. We aren't going to make the playoffs so don't see the point apart from getting adams trade value so high that at the end of the year we get a good trade for him.

From what I can find, very rare for lefties to play 3rd base. 5 in history, and 4 of them did it for 3 games or less
