Two wild pitches this inning. Ohtani is definitely trying to push through this.

And right there, Shoehei just threw a pitch 102 mph.
Bullet throw from Rendon at third to nail the runner at first. At least he's still fielding.
Side retired. That has to be it for Ohtani.

Angels lose in extras on a homerun off Julio Iglesias. He's sounded better.
Rangers sweep the Halos. Is this when the wheels start flying off?

Rangers designate Willie Calhoun for assignment month after outfielder requested trade
Calhoun had scuffled in a small sample this season, and the Rangers opted to move on

The Texas Rangers announced a series of roster moves Sunday, including the promotion of outfielder Steele Walker and demotion of infielder Andy Ibáñez. In a corresponding 40-player roster move, the Rangers designated outfielder Willie Calhoun for assignment, a month after he requested a trade.
Calhoun, originally acquired as part of the 2017 trade that sent Yu Darvish to the Los Angeles Dodgers, talked about his frustration with his situation in May. "I just respectfully asked them like, 'If I'm not part of the future here with this team, is there any way that we can work out a trade or anything?'" he told MLB.com. "I didn't do it in a disrespectful way, but I'm just looking out for myself. I'm 27, it's not like I'm 22 with all this time to develop anymore."
If this marks the end of Calhoun's time with the Rangers -- and Texas will have time to seek a trade before either having to release or subject him to waivers -- it comes after more than 900 plate appearances. Calhoun hit .241/.300/.407 (86 OPS+) with 32 home runs during that time. This season, he'd hit .136/.283/.273 (65 OPS+) with one home run in 44 at-bats.

Mets' Max Scherzer gets bitten by one of his dogs on pitching hand
Fortunately for the Mets, the bite isn't expected to lengthen Scherzer's stay on the injured list

New York Mets co-ace Max Scherzer suffered a dog bite on his pitching hand, he confirmed Saturday. The injury is not expected to delay his eventual return from the oblique injury that has sidelined him since he exited his last start on May 18, however.
Scherzer tweeted out the following statement Saturday afternoon:
Just clearing a few things up. My dog Rafi hurt her leg on a run. She was howling in pain and I went to calm her down by putting my hands on her. When I did that she bit my right hand. Fortunately it wasn't a bad bite. I took one day off from throwing and was able to long toss the next day. This will have no effect on my rehab and this is literally a non story.
The New York Post originally reported that the injury was to Scherzer's left, non-pitching hand. Scherzer is still expected to return to the Mets' rotation at some point in July, barring any setbacks with the oblique injury.
This season, Scherzer has pitched to a 2.54 ERA and 5.36 K/BB ratio in 49 ⅔ innings across eight starts. In other words, the future Hall of Famer, even at age 37, remains capable of pitching at near peak level. Scherzer's absence from the Mets' rotation is particularly notable in light of the fact that Jacob deGrom has yet to pitch this season after being diagnosed with a scapular stress reaction late in spring training. Despite the pitching injuries, Buck Showalter's club is in first place in the NL East and on pace for 105 wins.
As for Scherzer's unlikely injury to his right hand, it comes mere days after teammate and shortstop Francisco Lindor was scratched from Friday night's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers because he accidentally slammed his fingers in the door to his hotel room.

Max Scherzer back on the IL late in the season just when his team needs him the most.
Hmmm - why does this sound so familiar?
GO DODGERS!!!

Kind of a bittersweet story. Edwin started his career beating the great Randy Johnson and he had a good rest of the year. We all knew he'd be in the rotation next year, but he struggled in spring training and looked to be a flash in the pan. He and Chad Billingsley looked like they'd be a great 1-2 punch in the rotation. Then he was dealt away and he proved to be a very productive starting pitcher. I'm happy for him as to how his career turned out, overall. |

Verdugo joining the LOSER Stains and other so-called “experts” in discounting our WS Title in 2020 because of the shortened season.
We only had to “ball” for sixty games. Anyone can ball for sixty games.
Funny stuff. 29 other teams, including his Red Sox had the same 60 game schedule, but only one came through it all, including playing more postseason games than any in history.
Talk about sour grapes. What a douche!
GO DODGERS!!!

I was sad to see him leave us, but we did get Mooky didn't we? If he was still in our lineup, I think he'd be our 9th hitter cos he doesn't have much power but hits for a decent average. But I had the impression he was such a nice kid, then he said what he said Douche, indeed!

Our old dead arm buddy Mad Max Scherzer got lit up by the lowly Stains in Queens tonight. Seven runs, including four jacks in five innings.
In the same game, Yu Darvish gave up only one run on a long ball over seven as the Stains took down the home team Mutts 7 - 1.
deGrom, who they were saving “until necessary” will obviously have to go tomorrow. I won’t be shedding any tears if San Diego ends it in two.
We’ve been THEIR Padres for decades, including this year. No reason to think that should change this October.
GO DODGERS!!!
