Watching the replay of that play, it just looks like such a fluke! For the ball to come off the bat just so, and then hit his kneecap just so -- the odds of that have to be astronomical. Bummer for fans of good players, in whatever shirt they've got on.

 

Earlier this year, Lorenzo Cain fouled a ball off his knee in two straight games. He was lucky to escape with bruises.

The Athletics use nine home runs over two days to take a pair from the Rangers. They now lead the AL wildcard race by .5 over the Rays and 2.5 over the Indians.

 

Davis, Laureano, Murphy, Neuse, Semien, Chapman, Cahna, Olson providing a balanced offensive attack and some pretty good defense as well.

Things are getting tight all over! The Cards lead the Central by only 2 games, and play against the Cubs in something like 12 of the next 12 games, I think . . .

There's nothing like a good pennant race!

Meanwhile, in Oakland, Davis breaks an eighth inning 4-4 tie with a go-ahead single, but A's closer Hendriks has a rare blown save giving up two runs in the ninth. The lead is one game over the Rays, 1.5 over Cleveland.

 

 

For the A's, shortstop Semien got his 29th leadoff home run for the year, which tops the A's leadoff record of 28, set by the great Ricky Henderson.

Sorry, Pirates fans. Your once-proud team has taken another hit with the arrest of their closer, Felipe Vázquez. :( :( :(

Fenway Park's crowd gave a very nice ovation to a player for the other team.

 

The Giants' Mike Yastrzemski, grandson of Carl, hit a home run to center field, to the delight of his family and the many Yaz fans.

It's a reminder that sports is an idyllic distraction, and there are much worse things than finishing in last place.

How about a Canha walk-off double in the 11th?

 

:dweez:

 

TB Rays down 4-6 top of the 9th. Come on Dodgers bullpen!

Dammit!!!!! Rays get two to tie it up.

 

:facepalm:

Top of the 11th, on a 1-2 count, Rays' Austin Meadows jacks a solo shot. 7-6 TB.

 

:sigh:

Hahaha! No one wanted to bite.......

 

 

Love it.

 

Bring it on.

 

A's baby!!

Cleveland and Tampa are tied, two games behind the A's. Great hitting, along with some solid fielding and strong pitching has led to a 9-1 over the last ten games. :notworthy:

 

And this week, Hendricks set the club record for strikeouts by a relief pitcher in a single season. :dweez:

 

Whatever happens, this has been a phenomenal year for A's fans! :cheers:

And how good are the three teams fighting for the AL wildcard spots? Well, the A's went 9-1 over the last ten games and that was only good enough to give them a 2-game lead. Both the Rays and the Indians are playing great ball.

The A's put up seven in the first in a solid win over the Rangers tonight. Semien got on base in all six at bats.

 

The Rays beat Boston, while Cleveland lost to the Phillies. A's lead TB by 2 games, Cleveland by 3.

Brewers down 2-0 to their nemesis Sonny Gray already. :(

 

But wait! They’re up 3-2! Sonny Gray is human after all..... :LOL:
