From what I read the pinch hitter comes in with a 0-0 count.

Orlando is word champion. In Little League anyway.

If there were two strikes, it counts as Jansen's at-bat if the pinch-hitter strikes out. Otherwise, the outcome (hit, walk, fielded out) is charged to the pinch hitter.

He still had to be removed before a pinch hitter could be inserted which player is credited with the at bat is immaterial.

I think the Jansen game has broken Fangraphs. None of yesterday's games have been added yet.

George Springer hit his 7th and 19th home runs on the same day.

I put $10 on Oakland before the season to exceed 57.5 wins. They are already at 58. Should have bet more.

Oakland may end up with more wins than the White Sox drew for a game yesterday.

I need 6 more Nats wins this season to win my over 66.5 on them.

Not MLB but no other good place for this: The Richmond Flying Squirrels will FINALLY break ground on a new ballpark on Friday.

They've actually built several stadiums, but they bury them in the ground and hope to find them when they need to play.

I often hear people saying that Richmond would be the ideal location for the Nats' AAA affiliate, but is there any plausible path toward that actually happening?

well if the Nats march down through Fredricksburg and encircle Richmond then perhaps…

I hear there's a nice hole in Petersburg that the Squirrels could bury their stadium in.

So in the AL looks like the wild card race is already over. In the NL look 4 teams for three spots. Boring. Cmon Manfred. Add more teams!

North Carolina should definitely have a team. Also, Seattle is pretty much up there by themselves. Seems like there should be another team up there. Not sure if Portland could support a team.

Matt Chapman sign a six year extension with the Giants.

The Blue Jays' high-A affiliate Vancouver Canadians fill their stadium (granted it's only got 6500 seats, but the basis is clearly there).

I suppose, to be truly national, it'd have to be Alaska or Hawaii...

The Rich Hill experiment in Boston is over, he has been released after making four appearances, 3.2IP, 2ER

The experience threw him a curve.

I'll be interested to see if he hangs them up or will work on conditioning and trying again to hook on next year.

Kumar Rocker getting the call, will start Thursday for Texas.
