I wonder if Utley will Jeter his way into the ASG even in his late 30s.
Utley is hitting .319/.378/.517 this year

Also McCutcheon should be higher IMO.
Swap him with Blackmon and the NL outfield is fine.

But Carlos Gomez is arguably playing better than McCutchen this year and should maybe get that spot.

I really wish Rube was the GM of a team I hated. Like, I'd love and pay good money to see what that man would do to the Cardinals system as it is right now.
If Rube was GM of the Giants, absolutely nothing would change.

I'd expect the Giants to luck their way into more success, because baseball.

Clayton Kershaw threw one of the most beast shoulda been perfect no nos in history. From the game scores being tweeted about it might be the 2nd best performance ever?
15 K's (career high) no walks, only baserunner reached on a Hanley error in the 7th.

Oh yeah, and don't look now, but the Dodgers are only 4 games out of first place and it's still June.

The gamescore was 102 by my count, and according to BRef that is the highest gamescore of any no-hitter ever. It beats the Koufax perfecto, Ryan's last, and Cain's perfect game which are each 101.

My dad has all the luck. Last night was the 3rd no-hitter he's seen in person.

The first was Koufax's perfect game (at age 12) and second was Ramon Martinez in 1995. I was at the first ~5 innings of the Martinez game but I got really sick and he had to take me home (I was 10). Dad drove back to the game to catch the final several innings himself.

He had an extra ticket last night too, I could have gone but I live 2 hours away and it was just another Wednesday night game...

do you literally live inside dodger stadium because otherwise this is not possible and your dad is a liar
I don't remember because I was 10 and miserably sick. Maybe he took me home after like the 2nd, I dunno. But my understanding is he took me home and made it back for at least the final two innings.

We lived ~20 minutes away, it was 1995 so attendance wasn't that high, he had good parking due to season tickets, and the Dodgers scored 7 runs between the 3rd and the 6th.

It takes like 17 hours just to get from the freeway to the parking lot there is no way. Lies. This is like all those people who say they saw Wilt score 100 points even though the game was played in front of 12 people in Hersey, PA.
In those days it was actually really easy for us to get in and out of the stadium and parking lots. Attendance was lower then (30K on a Friday night compared to 46K that saw Kershaw last night) and we routinely made it from our house to our seats in under 30 minutes. Getting home was generally even faster.

Premium parking from season tickets and living north of the stadium combined to make it fairly simple.

Considering the man was awesome to witness three no-no's in person, anything else seems perfectly possible and I would be cool with him riding a unicorn to and from Dodger Stadium.
He saw Gibson's home run too, so maybe my dad really is a wizard.

I don't care if they are Astros-level bad or even worse, just have a goddamn plan in place to make it not-bad in the future. There was talk of the Return of Kevin Towers. That happens, I renounce fandom.
yesssss please keep Towers in the division!

It is just an elaborate setup to troll kershaw, who went 0-4 against the cards last year.

Including like giving up three xbh to pete kozma
Thanks for the anti-jinx! I had a great time at the game yesterday watching Kershaw strike out 13 and the Dodgers offense come alive for 6 runs.
