Hey Jules - Randy Wolf is no hitting the Angels through one batter.

I too thought he was dead. Or at least retired.
But it turns out there's a club that actually employs him, with a real paycheck and everything!

I think you should look at it as the Tigers first move in the post Dombrowski era. It's the new strategy of getting guys past their prime. It's working wonders in Anaheim….
Randy Wolf sounds like a male pornstars name.
One thing I forgot to mention from last night….I just about lost it when Ausmus contemplated challenging the last out of the bottom of the 8th, up 5 runs with his pitcher throwing a no-no. Verlander already high tailed it to the mound to finish his gem off, and Ausmus is wasting time. ABSURD awareness for the moment.

Being a poor manager is no excuse for forgetting that he was once a catcher and how important rhythm and momentum are for a pitcher. I'm surprised Verlander didn't scream at him to pull his head out of his ass.
Of course had he challenged and THEN Ianetta gets his knock, it might have solved your managers problem….
There are no hat tricks in baseball! F-ing Canadians.
Through July 31, the Mets had averaged 3.54 runs per game, worst in the majors. Since Cespedes played his first game with the Metropolitans on Aug. 1, they've averaged 6.14 runs per game, most in the majors.

Hoya and I have been talking about this on FB. I'm glad he's no longer in the AL West, though I wouldn't go as far as to say Cespedes for MVP, except to take the piss out of Nats fans….
Astro's had a 0.3% chance of winning in that moment….
On the brightsaide, the Halo's chance of making the playoffs is somehow still about 50x that.

Jesus. Look at the roiders on that list, and then look at Jon Olerud's 1993 season. WTF?
I will concede that for this one offensive season, Harper was better than Trout.
But if you add defense, he still hasn't come close, and no GM in their right mind would rather have Harper over Trout.
^ no accident at the number of 'roiders on that list since the period that table covers pretty much covers the entire steroid era…..

Wow. Move it back to 1972 and check out that Dick Allen season! (still full of 'roiders…)
