Age, injuries etc. All that is probably catching up to him.Quote:

Gee, who could ever have guessed the Phils might score a run with Megill pitching the 9th?
It's not like his decisions are being made on the basis of a tight playoff race here.Quote:

They need to move the mound back.
In the late 60's (68 maybe) Carl Yestremski(sp?) won the AL triple crown and I believe he batted just .300 that year. I have no idea what the NL leader hit, but that was the year Bob Gibson led the NL with an ERA around 1.1. The next year MLB lowered the height of the mound by about 5 inches, from I believe 15" down to 10" .Quote:

Just let them play
Plus, i think the averages are lower mainly because of the shifts, i would bet most hitters would be at least 20 points higher if there were no shifts

Nice race going on in AL for the 2 WC spots
5 teams within 4 games and 3 are in East and their all tied for the 2 spots

7 run inning punctuated by a 3 run bomb by Duffy. He's having quite a power surge this month.
Hendricks starting to remind me a lot of end of 2016 into 2017 Arrieta, only worse. Man is struggling to make it 5 innings without a bloated pitch count because he can't finish hitters off.
