....and still has one more game (Sunday) to add on to their total. This is why I said a couple of weeks ago that I hope they're paying him enough to keep him.

I mean he can put points on the board but dude think about how lucky you are to be doing what you do & get paid millions to do it. It's not like you go to work in a factory all your life from 7am-4pm every day & be unhappy where you work. Shut up & shoot the ball.

I bet he wants to beat the Braves so bad just once you can see he's knock down a wall.
Knowing your team is getting beat like a drum on your own field like this is terrible feeling.

“Throw it again! Throw it again, please!” Oh it’s just soooo much more satisfying that he is a former Florida player also 🤭

I guess he can retire if he is unhappy. He won’t be missed. He has been nothing but drama ever since he got traded from the Thunder.

We all knew it was going to come at some point. Dodgers are on the verge of overtaking the #2 record in MLB. Luckily the Braves are in the midst of demolishing the Mets to keep pace.

On August 13 in Baseball History...​
  • 1906 - The Cubs' Jack Taylor is knocked out by Brooklyn in the third inning, ending a string of 187 complete games and 15 relief appearances in which he finished each game. The record run began June 20, 1901. In ten years he will fail to finish only eight of 286 starts.

  • 1908 - Cy Young Day is celebrated by 20,000 at Huntington Avenue Grounds in Boston. He pitches briefly against an All-Star team that includes Jack Chesbro, Hal Chase, Willie Keeler, Harry Davis, and George Mullin. The game is interrupted several times for presentations to the great hurler.

  • 1910 - In the most evenly matched game ever played, Pittsburgh and Brooklyn each have eight runs, thirteen hits, 38 at bats, five strikeouts, three walks, one hit batter, one passed ball, thirteen assists, 27 putouts, two errors, and use two pitchers.

  • 1922 - New York Yankee Everett Scott nears 1,000 consecutive games played, but it takes an extra effort to keep the streak alive. He spends $40 to hire a car to get to Chicago in time for the game after a train he is on is wrecked.

  • 1931 - Tony Cuccinello of the Cincinnati Reds had six hits in six at-bats against the Braves in Boston. Cuccinello had a triple, two doubles and three singles to knock in five runs as the Reds won 17-3.

  • 1945 - Branch Rickey becomes the principal stockholder of the Dodgers. He and associates Walter O'Malley and John Smith acquire the 50 percent interest of the Ebbets estate for a reported price of $750,000.

  • 1948 - The promise of Satchel Paige on the mound brings 51,013 to Comiskey Park. Paige pitches his first major league shutout as Cleveland wins 5-0.

  • 1962 - Infielder Bert Campaneris of Daytona Beach (Florida State League) pitches ambidextrously in a relief appearance.

  • 1969 - Jim Palmer of the Orioles, plagued by arm trouble the year before, pitched an 8-0 no-hitter against the Oakland A's in Baltimore.

  • 1978 - The Baltimore Orioles benefited from the rain-out rule. The Orioles were leading New York 3-0 after six innings but the Yankees scored five runs in the top half of the seventh. Heavy rains ended the game in the bottom half of the inning and the score reverted to the end of the last completed frame, giving the Orioles the triumph. This rule was changed in 1980.

  • 1979 - Lou Brock collects his 3,000th career hit, a single off Dennis Lamp, as the Cardinals top the Cubs 3-2.

  • 1987 - The Cardinals outfield sets a major league record by failing to record a single putout in a 4-2, 13-inning win over the Phillies. The 1905 St. Louis Browns, who played an 11-inning game with no outfield putouts, held the previous mark.
