Speaking of which - whose going to call Cleveland and tell them that when the A's won 20 straight they were bounced in the first round?

What a heartbreaker for Cleveland. Some hellacious ABs from the Yankees.
I am not prepared for tonight. Have no faith in the offense. Am curious to see how Roark handles it. Interested to see if they have Max come out of the pen if need be. Dang.

How Roark handles what?
I'm positive we'll see Max tonight unless it's a Nats early blowout.

I thought Tanner was listed as the starter. Nats site says "Roark or Gonzalez" lol
I guess we'll find out!

Fat Albers. Best W-L record (7-2) and lowest ERA (1.62) on the team.

For a fat guy, he pulls pretty good results.

Somewhere north of 0%.
I give you exhibit M.
#1 Victor & Margaret Martinez. Catchers aren’t necessarily known to get the hottest women in the world, but Victor has had quite a career. I know that these two young lovers have been together since they were 17. I searched far and wide, but no photo of Margaret Martinez in her younger days was available so I have to go with what I see now. This is a rough one. She looks tough, she looks mean, and the main reason you got this spot is because you married a former Redsox.

I'm going to post this as Caveman steps to the plate for the first time.
Lind or Kendrick should be in LF.

Nat's acquire a utility player in Howie Kendrick from the Phillies. Only two days left before the trading deadline and looking forward to seeing what Rizzo does to address the bullpen needs.
What does this guy add that the current bench doesn't already have, especially once Turner, Taylor, and Werth return?
Veteran leadership. And somebody to help Dusty not make bad decisions.

I've never been a Caveman fan, and tbh didn't even know who Kendrick was. Obviously, he was impressive after coming here.

Not a fan of starters being used as relievers! Should have stuck with Fat Albers for a second inning.

Scherzer not getting it done was crushing to the team’s psyche. Dusty would not bench Werth. Dusty will not be back next year.

@JeffPassan
The last four Cubs have reached base on an intentional walk, a passed-ball strikeout, catcher's interference and a hit by pitch.
@JeffPassan
I am willing to bet never before in baseball history have four batters in a row reached on this sequence of events.
@baseball_ref
Baseball Reference
None of the 2.73m half innings in our db have even had all 4 of these events. 22 w/ 3. Only 5 games had all 4.
