BASEBALL IS STILL BACK From this weekend's action: rookie Trevor Story hits his record 7th home run in his first 6 six games SCHEDULE  Today in Baseball History courtesy baseball-reference.com 1966 - Emmett Ashford becomes the first black umpire in major league history. 2008 - For the third time in the past six years, Major League Baseball adopts a stricter steroids policy. Increased testing is instituted and more power is given to outside administrators. Players named in the Mitchell Report are given amnesty and suspensions for Jose Guillen and Jay Gibbons are eliminated. 2013 - A bench-clearing brawl in the Dodgers' 3 - 2 win over the Padres proves costly, as prize free agent signee Zack Greinke breaks his left collarbone in the melee. Greinke plunks Carlos Quentin on the left shoulder with a 6th-inning pitch and the slugger charges the mound and tackles the pitcher to the ground; they end up at the bottom of a huge pile of players from both dugouts. Greinke's left shoulder took the brunt of the impact as Quentin first ran into him. Born on This Day  1964 - Bret Saberhagen 1972 - Jason Varitek 1974 - Trot Nixon 1980 - Mark Teixeira 1984 - Alejandro De Aza 1986 - Charlie Furbush 1988 - Peter Kozma 1988 - Kenta Maeda Barry Bonds posted:[Bryce Harper] doesn't compare to me yet. He has a long way to go to me. He is not even close to me. But he is one hell of a ballplayer. I watch him, I admire and I look at him and I'm in awe. You don't see it that often. For my eyes to get real big and go, 'Wow,' you have to be something special. It's longevity that [I have to be] over-wowed about. Short-term don't do much for me. Longevity is where it's going to be. When I see these guys - seven, eight, 10, 12 years down the road still doing what they are doing, then you will hear the real 'wow.' Right now, I'm impressed.

He was supposed to start yesterday against the Yankees but got rained out. Verlander has a career record of 25-3 in interleague games

Actually I've never really paid attention to it, has Gallardo always been that kind of a slow-ball pitcher? I don't think he's topped 84 outside of a tiny handful of fastballs.

I'm not sure why you'd send Verlander back out for another inning with this pitch count, based on what he's done so far in the game.
