    I turned on the Braves-Phillies game on ESPN. It was a 2-1 score at the time, and Atlanta then proceeds to hit back to back to back home runs to make it 5-1, no outs in the 8th inning. That was some good timing for turning on the game.

    I'm gonna have to start paying more attention to Reds games on TV, which they're always on here. Between Fox Sports Detroit (Tigers), SportsTime Ohio (Fox Sports affiliated) (Indians) and the actual Fox Sports Ohio (Reds), I'm always guaranteed at least one "local" baseball game every day, plus a White Sox or Cubs game on WGN a couple times a week.

    Well, after watching Speedy Gonzalez, aka Billy Hamilton, I'll have to turn the Reds on more often. Jesus that guy has speed.

    Edit- Bleacher Report gives another take on Hamilton, that while he has some serious speed, he seriously sucks swinging the bat, with some horrible whiffs against Jeff Samardjiza Friday afternoon, and also sporting an ugly .176 average.

    Edit 2 - Baseball Tonight breaks out the stopwatch. Hamilton's a hare faster than Deion Sanders when legging out a triple.

    Yeah. Hamilton hasn't evolved into the superstar most thought he would this season. Yet.

    That is one thing I love when watching a game that turns into a blowout. The commentators always come up with something great to start talking about and fill air time while the ass whooping plays out.

    I could only imagine if that was the Diamondback's telecast and Gracie was still the color commentator

    The Rockies bats are shockingly alive this year. Between Tulo and Arenado, the Rockies have been playing damn good ball lately.

    I'm refusing to even pick Arenado in Beat the Streak, because I know, as a Rockies fan, I'd end up jinking the hell out of him.

    Damn... Houston takes a guard and Oakland picks Derek Carr a few picks later. I was really hoping for Revenge of the Carr to happen.
