Congrats to this record being smashed. This is gonna stand for a long time I think.

Been a slow start but I think cubs are getting hot soon. Been a bizarre season for them so far, i think having 5 games postponed already has something to with it.

A much better pitcher for Oakland just no-hit the Red Sox

Nick Kingham was apparently a hot pitching prospect the Pirates drafted a few years ago, but you haven't heard of him because Tommy John surgery and a leg injury kept him in the minors.

Well, he came up today and in his first big league start, no-no'd the Cardinals through 6 and 2/3rds with 9 Ks

StLouisOffense.exe could not be found, please sweep series and restart the rivalry.

In terms of pitching, a position player did a 1-2-3 inning:

Gary Sanchez just set a record for 2nd fastest to 60 HR Big Mac is now in 3rd place.

So I don't know if this applies to anyone, but students get access to the rest of the season for free. Not sure if you're still subject to regional blackouts, but you can at least enjoy the playoffs most likely.

Baseball is so good this year.

I already have this and don't mind paying but great deal for those out there. Loving having Joey Bats with the Phils, mets are BUTT MAD

 

[Lipitor]

Lol Check out this play... Baez hugs Arenado as he's being tagged out to prevent him from throwing to first... Umps deliberate to figure out if it's runners interference or just gay.

I fucking love Oct baseball. Also Judge has been cartoon nice. It's strange to root for Yanks as underdog.

 

[Lipitor]

Who are you rooting for? I'm partial to the Red Sox myself.

Surprised there's that much support for the Rockies.

16-1. Talk about a perfect way to kick off my day.

Surprised there's that much support for the Rockies.

It says it's based off twitter geotagged data. So I wonder how accurate that is, considering half of baseball's fanbase probably has never/rarely used twitter.

16-1. Talk about a perfect way to kick off my day.

They just tore a hole in the NYY pitching staff, while keeping theirs airtight. I was worried after game 2, but I think i'm safely on the "Boston is unstoppable this season" side again.

a win is a win. That said an incredible game of baseball.

 

[Muncie Anderson]

A Milwaukee TV station sez:

A former owner of the Marlins claims MLB may play shenanigans to ensure the small market Brewers lose to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS.

So that one close call at a crucial moment that somehow goes in the favor of the Dodgers just might not be on the up and up? Say it ain't so!

 

[Lipitor]

Lol the Brewers are going with Gio Gonzalez as their starting pitcher up against Dodger's Kershaw.... good luck with that.

EDIT: lol he only made it two innings in... jesus christ.
