MLB Daily Thread: 4-27-16:Kuechel & Kershaw gets rocked while McCutchen ties Braves HR total

The Astros are worse than the Yankees....that's saying a lot

I've been figuring Keuchel pitched above his head somewhat last season and would come back down to earth this season. Be curious to see to what extent at the end of the season.

Boston should of let Price get the complete game. He was dealing

On this day in 1971, Braves' outfielder Hank Aaron joins Babe Ruth and Willie Mays as the only major league player to hit 600 career home runs. His historic homer, a 350-foot drive over the left field wall, comes off Gaylord Perry in the third inning of a 6-5 ten-inning loss to the Giants at Atlanta's Fulton County Stadium.

In 1973, Braves hurler Pat Dobson three-hits the Mets and beats Tom Seaver, who also gives up only three hits, 2-0. The Atlanta Fulton County Stadium contest takes one-hour and 37 minutes to complete, making it the quickest game ever played in Mets history.

Also on this day some guy named Nolan Ryan breaks the career strikeout record for pitchers

Speaking of the Astros; IIRC, Keuchel, McHugh, and Fiers have had their average velos nosedive this year. If that continues, the Astros looked boned to me.

Andrew McCutchen had himself a pretty decent game last night....and his Buccos beat the Rox 9-4 in Denver.

Cano with 6 RBI...

I dislike that guy. Primarily for two reasons. First, his name is annoying - they way it's spelled annoys me, the way it's pronounced annoys me, and the way the spelling and pronunciation are at odds with each other annoys me. Secondly, that stupid fucking beard makes him look like he's 0-5 slump away from running off to Iraq to join ISIS.

Fuck him.

The hat-trick!

There are now one hundred and two major league batters with as many or more home runs as the entire Braves roster.

Clearly someone is jealous of the braves success

Yeah, the 103 qualified MLB batters with less homeruns. . .

I assume none of them are on the Braves?

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

The hat-trick!
