    Cool

    I'll go with the much larger sample size vs LHP

    But at least Diaz is a much better defensive OF than Chas......hmmm

    Why are we playing our 3rd game in nearly 24hrs while the mariners play their first game after the all star break ?

    Sorry I misread your post. When you said vs. Diaz I thought you had mistyped tonight's pitchers name

    I misread his post. He was talking overall against LHPs.

    No, Diaz throws RH, if he were pitching I would be fine with Chas on the bench

    Then Urquidy could play left. Last year he hit .500 with a 1.000 OPS.

    I would be ok with Urquidy facing Diaz, and he couldn't be worse in LF than Carlos Lee was

    This will most likely be a tough series after the double header and travel with no day off. Still, I’m hoping for 2 outta 3 and that’s what I think will happen.

    Meanwhile, the Red Sox are having a complete pitching meltdown tonight.

    Eovaldi: 2.2ip, 9ER
    Davis: 1.1ip, 5ER
    Ort: 0.2ip, 8ER
    Hernandez 0.1ip, 3ER

    25-3 Bluejays in the 5th

    Edit: I don't even want to imagine what this board would turn into if we gave up 25 runs in 5 innings :eek:

    It rather begs the question: What is the highest scoring MLB game in history? The highest total score in a single game is 49 runs, in a 26-23 contest between the Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia Phillies in 1922. Single-game records for one team’s high score are broken down as follows:

    • Most runs scored by a team in a single game is 36, by the Chicago Colts (now Cubs) against the Louisville Colonels in June 1897.
    • The “modern” record (meaning after 1900) is 30 scored by the Texas Rangers against the Baltimore Orioles in August 2007. The National League record is the 29 runs the Atlanta Braves scored against the Miami Marlins just last year, in September 2020.

    Astros and NYY had to make up 2 of the games lost when the first part of the season was delayed.

    FWIW, MLB apologized to Dusty for the hectic schedule.

    Yankees beating the Orioles around right now.

    Gotta take care of business to keep those #1 seed hopes alive.

    Watching Mariners broadcast, these guys think they are the talk of baseball because of a winning streak...
