Josh Donaldson just made the greatest defensive catch of all time.

To preserve a (at the time) perfect game too. Estrada took no-hitters into the 8th in back-to-back games. First time since Dave Stieb did it, apparently.

Donaldson may have killed a young child making that catch, but I'm fine with it.

A young fan sitting in the outfield seats just yelled "I hate you Bautista!" to which Bautista replied, "I hate you too."

I think Martin should go over Vogt

Other than being bias I cannot possibly fathom how Martin would be a better option than Vogt.

I dunno about over Vogt, I wouldn't be upset to see it happen though. I think those are #1 and #2 in either order though

They're even on defensive runs saved. Martin has been with more defensively but Vogt is far ahead of him offensively. Honestly you can't go wrong with either, I'd just take Vogt because I prefer offense.

And the Mets are now under .500 after getting 2-hit by Jimmy Nelson.
I feel sick. Everybody from Sandy to Terry and right on down the line with the players went on about this year being different, and how there was a swagger with the team that hasn't been there since 2006. Instead they allowed their shit-hot start completely disappear. And now there's not even a point in trading for a hitter. They waited too long. When they were up on the Nats by 7 games and guys started going down with injuries...that was the time to strike. Now the Nats are shit hot and are going to win the division by a mile and Sandy doesn't have the balls to trade assets to try and make a Wild Card run since it's too much of a crapshoot. |

And even though I think Collins is a fucking SHIT manager and it's not exactly his fault that the team has no offense to speak of...at a certain point don't you have to lay the blame on somebody? The team has given up.
If the Yankees had gone from 13-3 to 36-37, Girardi would have been out on his ass. |

I'm glad he's doing a lot better. Was depressing to imagine him playing badly through the rest of his contract.

Which is meaningless. Vogt doesn't control what pitchers his team employs. That's outside of his control. That's like holding it against Martin that he plays in a band box while Vogt plays in an offensive black hole.

In terms of evaluating a player based on sole individual performance, it indeed is. You're giving credit to Martin for something Vogt doesn't have the opportunity to do, which is something he can't control. Sure being able to catch Dickey has value specifically to Toronto, but on a grand scale of comparative analyses it's a meaningless trait.

The captain found a life boat to flee the titanic. Not sure how he was as a tactician, but it's never a good sign even your manager resigns with no viable openings elsewhere. Amazing how the Phillies turned into one of the worst franchises seemingly overnight.

Encarnacion with 2 bombs including a grand slam. Adam Rosales now pitching for Texas. Travis back from the DL. So the Jays offence just got even better.

Mets managed to win tonight despite only getting 2 hits thanks to Thor being the man.

Gonna be a bit before the team is competitive again, and Ruben Amaro is...well, Ruben Amaro. Bet he extends Domonic Brown for 8 years after dealing Maikel Franco for David Ross. |

Giancarlo Stanton broke his hand.
Bob Costas is an asshole And the AL East is 4 teams separated by 1 game for first place |

Steven Matz becomes the first pitcher in MLB history to get 4 RBIs in his big league debut. Also the first Met to ever do it regardless of position.
Fuck the DH. |

He should play third on his days off. Mets could use that kind of production.
And go DH! |

Have a real bad feeling Tigers are going to be sellers at the trade deadline. Oh well, at least have the next 8 years of Miggy being the best hitter in the world on shitty teams to look forward to

Love the AL East right now. No one is super awesome but everyone, besides Boston, is above average.
