2019 MLB Regular Season running thread

Trout to have foot surgery and is done for the season. That's the one they told us would sideline him for a couple of days.
Can a guy be the MVP if he misses the last 3 weeks of the season and his team is 30 games out of first place?

 

Wow! Did not know the 1905 occurrence until now. Looked it up and apparently one of those teams had a ton of postponements to make up, including that Worst Series.

Thanks for the clarification. I wasn't aware of that one.

 

Bregman's gonna win it now

 

Trout will just have to settle for being the best player on the planet.

 

Nobody saw the scary beaning of Charlie Culberson by Fernando Rodney Saturday? Worst I've ever seen - a fastball to the face as he was squaring to bunt. Clearly not intentional, as it was in the 7th inning of a 1-1 game with runners on. The 1st-base umpire called a strike, though Culberson didn't appear to offer at the pitch. Not sure why Martinez left in Rodney, who was visibly shaken, to face the next several batters as the Braves blew it open. Culberson's out for the year and seems relatively lucky that the ball hit him in the least bad place on his face - missed his eye socket, nose, and mouth. It won't happen until next year if at all, but I can't imagine being hit like that and having to step into the box against a hard thrower with control trouble again.

 

Made a point to DVR it tonight; great story, Mike Yaz.

 

And of course young Yaz homers. Left-center field for 20th of the season. You can't make shit up like this.

 

I don't know if it's just that Glasnow is the most entertaining interview in MLB or if the YouTube announcers are that good at interviewing, but this has been entertaining as hell. Glasnow talking about how tall he is and saying he's "6-8, 7-feet in heels" is far and away the best line I've heard during an in-game interview, well, ever.

 

Second-best ...

 

Brewers rolling like a god damn freight train.
