For as bad as they have been they're only 4 games out in the west.Ironman92;1466299 wrote:This guy has it all....and they have Hanley Ramirez being like his old self a bit and Matt Kemp back and looking healthy.....watch out
Going to have to win the west it looks like for that whole division as the only way to the playoffs. Both wild cards are coming out of the central I suspect.

The west seems to beat on each other. LA won 7 of 8?

Puig, in the few ABs I have watched, is a mini Manny. Just a pure right handed swing. Goes oppo with power. Gap to gap. Stays on the ball with 2 strikes and spits on really good pitches.
Looks better than advertised. Miguel is the best righty I've ever seen, but Manny is a close second and Puig looks just like manny, IMO.

Manny with excellent speed and an elite arm.

This is Homer's night....but Puig goes 3/4 with another HR, Cuddyer's 27 game hitting streak ends, Minnesota gave Mariano Rivera a rocking chair made out of broken bats and Adam Dunn hit the most no doubter HR I've seen in a long time.

Lol, the RF didn't even react when the ball left Dunn's bat.

Oh, and I saw it was #428 for Dunn.
The guy is 33. He's getting everyday PT batting .200. He's on a bad team who isn't getting better really.
The guy might seriously hit 700.

He's been a .280 hitter with over a 1.000 OPS the past 30 games.
I'm predicting he goes to Baltimore or Pittsburgh before the trade deadline.

Marte culminates an 8 pitch AB with two out in the 9th with a HR to tie the Cubs at 3. Now in extra innings.

If you would have told me that at this point in the season the red one of then one of the best five to seven teams I would have been happy. If you would have told me that at this point in the season the Reds will be in third place in their division I would be pissed if you would have told me that this point in the season both of those things would happen like WTF

He's happy the Reds are one of the top 5-7 teams.
He's pissed they're 3rd in the division.

Didnt think its that confusing.
Happy they are good. Pissed they are 3rd in division. Confused as to how that is even possible lol.
Punctuation sucked though.

The first sentence is an all-timer as far as WTF sentences, but once I decided to skip it and read the rest it all made sense, Lol.
