MLB 2022: The Long and Winding Thread

I want to know if Wainwright ever got that bug out of his cup.

And Snell has a no-hitter through six.

 

And Pujols breaks it up.

 

Good thing for the Mariners that the Orioles and White Sox are losing … because so are they.

Now 1-5 on a road trip to Anaheim and Oakland after a 2-1 loss to the A’s tonight. They have scored one run in four of the five losses.

Suarez being injured hasn’t helped, but Seattle's offense has been meager most of this season. As good as their starters and bullpen have been, you can’t win every game 1-0.

 

Orioles picked up a game on Seattle to get within four but the O's have four with Houston at home this weekend and Seattle gets Oakland today and three in Kansas City this weekend. It would be fairly stunning if the gap shrunk.

 

So far Judge has been up twice and walked on four pitches twice. The kind of blood and guts performance that typifies the 2022 Red Sox.

 

Cardinals scored today for the first time in, like, 46 or more innings. Then won it on Donovan’s grand slam.

Not exactly in playoff shape.

 

If Judge still stands on 60 HR tomorrow, Yankees should sit him to spite the Apple TV broadcast.

 

Make that three times.

 

I give Judge credit, though. Trying to hit No. 61 hasn't changed his approach one bit. He's not chasing pitches at all.

 

Two feet from 61

 

The Fox camera work on that Judge near-homer was awful. Looked like it was going to land somewhere in Jersey.

 

Dodgers bust out their slo pitch uniforms. God those things are hideous.
