I don't remember any stories ever about gunshots outside a stadium that affected a game. Granted, a lot of stadia are surrounded by massive parking lots. I remember a Santos Laguna game (LigaMX) being abandoned because of some kind of gunfight outside the stadium. It was nuts. I also remember another Santos game for much more pleasant reasons: dog on the pitch in the first half and a cat on the pitch during the second half.
I read that the Mets reached out to Cespedes about a possible reunion to help cover their injuries. Cespedes is the kind of player who needs to be signed to 14 days contracts (or whatever short term thing the NBA uses). And this news reminded me that Puig never was signed. I don't know if I've seen a player hit such highs and then just fall (maybe Fidrich sp?? but he was injured).

Was torn between Mets-Reds and Padres-Braves. Went with the former, which is a run fest (5-7 Top 4) but then quickly saw the latter has been postponed. Giants are at Dodgers for 4. I'm sticking to my new 3 hour rule. I just need to decide if I will start at the beginning and watch for the first 3 or tune in 2 hours after the game starts and watch the last 3 hours.

It is a multiplex that goes from game to game depending on situation and isn't bad (especially when the Cubs are losing eleven in a row)

I heard that the Dodgers are on pace to win 95 games. A lot of the pundits had predicted 110. That difference is big but also not massive. But this team doesn't feel like a world beater. They go on really solid runs but there are times when the defense is really, really sloppy. They are slow on the bases. And the starting pitching has gone from robust to thin. The pitching is still solid, which matters. Guys like Treinen have ERAs that don't really reflect the quality. A bad inning here or there elevates the ERA.
I keep waiting for the Giants to tumble but it doesn't happen. My fear is that the Astros are going to quietly become a juggernaut because everyone is so focused on the NL West, NL East, and the combination of Yankees failure/Red Sox success.

The Vegas over/under, which is the best single measure of the wisdom of crowds on win totals, had them at 102.5, which is still within the realm of possibility. 110 was always going to be challenging given their division and essentially unattainable in a season when the Giants are good.
The Yankees were second at 95.5, which looks to be a hoo boy number, though NYY odds are always a bit inflated by dumb money.

I can't see the Dodgers getting to 102 but I say that as I was about to post that the Giants-Dodgers game was going to come in at a manageable 2 hours and something. Then Kenley imploded and here I am 25 minutes later watching the same half inning. So, in this context I can't see this team getting to 102 but I was away yesterday and didn't see the comeback win on Tuesday night, which could have balanced out the poor baseball I've been seeing lately.

The Dodgers are playing the Giants and even then the Padres can't make any inroads into either team's lead. I fear it's going to be one-and-done in the play-off wildcard for us in post-season if we even make it that far.

Although I have a lot of baseball hats, that's mostly a product of me forgetting to bring a hat when I travel somewhere sunny and needing to buy new hats. I am not the target market, but man those look horrible.

I guess the Rays are willing to give up pitchers given their recent skill finding undervalued relievers. But in part they have succeeded because they have had good starting pitchers that can be traded with years left. Still, Cruz still keep rolling and might add some punch to a club that needs to stay in the hunt for the division. Twins have been an every other year team but I am stunned by their failures this season. And I will be even more stunned if any team does a long deal with Buxton. The guy finally lived up the hope earlier this season and then got hurt again. Glass doesn't become steel. The Dodgers have been mostly lucky with Pollock but he's still injured almost every season at various points.
