so a lucky starting pitcher for the Tiggers could have a 0.80 ERA and have 4 losses

Tigers have now been shut out 5 times this month.  Trade Meadows and Baez for some trash cans to help AJ Hinch out
Im not sure that would help

The best part of my $3/mo MLB radio app is no blackouts.  I can work on WN orders and enjoy Dodgers baseball!
Kershaw is back.
They're unveiling a Sandy Koufax statue tomorrow.

Couldn't hurt.  Offense sucks, and it worked for AJ last time

May be an image of 3 people, people playing sports and text that says 'Every hitter likes fastballs, just like everybody likes ice cream. But you don't like it when someone's stuffing it into you by the gallon. That's what it feels like when Nolan Ryan's throwing balls by you. -Reggie Jackson'

I'd hate standing in against him, too.  Bc Ryan had no idea where the ball was going.
.
Everyone knows the Ryan Express has the all-time Ks lead with 5714 career strikeouts.
The runner-up is Randy Johnson, whose total is 85% of Ryan's.
.
Ryan has the all-time walks record, too.  Second place (Carlton) only threw 65% as many walks as Ryan's leading figure.
Nolan Ryan had more walks than these pitchers had strikeouts:
Clayton Kershaw
Tom Glavine
Warren Spahn
Bob Feller
Cole Hamels
.
That's A LOT of self-inflicted stress.  
The ironic thing is that in his 8-16, league-leading ERA season, he led the AL in K:BB ratio.  Got his walks under control (for him) and it still didn't help.

Oneil Cruz is a kid to watch for Pirates.  Nice splashy debut tonight.   Looks like a WR at SS.    I couldn't believe his arm when I saw him play at AAA.

Oh, and the Pirates also called up Bligh Madris.    Of course he plays for the Pirates, with the name like that, it had to be so.   I assume he will be named team Captain.

Da Braves are on a two game winning streak.

Back when I was playing baseball (MSBL), we went to a tournament in Columbus, OH and played a team from Pittsburg, really nice guys, and really really good.  They were sponsored by some radio station, and were the required year out of the minors, most had been in AAA or AA recently they said.  They were incredible.  Of course they demolished us, but were nice about it, really.  Their first baseman was 6'6" and huge, I got to chat with him a bit as somehow I got on base.

We played in the stadium with turf, which was odd, and center field was 440 away and I saw that and figured nobody would hit anything out.  This team hit several moon shots way over the fence.  It was a slight taste of how good these guys are.  We had one guy who played in the Bigs and one at AA and a few more who played in college, so our team was decent, but not like that.

Will be at tonight’s Arizona Diamondbacks game Vs the Detroit Tigers. Tix right on the first baseline.

Tonight happens to be Pride night and the first 15,000 fans through the gates will receive a shirt with the LGBTQ color patterned inside the Diamondbacks A logo. I don’t plan on keeping the shirt because it’s not at all me to wear a pride flag so I am thinking of giving it to my high school buddy in Peoria AZ who moonlights weekends in a Supertramp cover band.

Astros toss a no no at the Yankees today using 2 pitchers

This is only the 2nd time the Yanks have been no hit in the last 64 years

Incidentally the other no hitter was also done by Houston in 2003

Last year we had tickets to a Pirates game on a Saturday night, because it was a fireworks game.  Turned out it was also the Pride Night game.  But the prior night was Star Wars night.  So they turned it into a 7 inning DH.  All kinds of dress at that one, with a sprinkling of old yinzers that thought both groups were crazy
