Hi. Josh Donaldson has hit two dongers off Sabathia already and it's only the third inning.

And Aaron Judge hit a monster shot into the upper deck but it was well foul.

Amazingly, Nick Tepesch got through the first inning unscathed.

He's given up back-to-back dongs to start the second, though.

Pirates in Toronto. You don't see that very often. Last time was in June 2011 apparently.

My folks wouldn't stop talking about how great ryan goins has been, and i couldn't figure out why. So i check his logs over 35 PA in August and he's slashing .286/.342/.400. That's not great but I guess that okay as of late.

I don't know what the numbers are as of today but in the second half his numbers have been gloriously clutch, he's hitting like crazy with RISP. And for at least a while in July he led MLB for hits with bases loaded.

Well I'll be.

Oh, Fangraphs splits tool is nice. As of today, Ryan Goins' OPS is .612 overall, but .993 with RISP and 1.833 with the bases loaded (12 PA).

I know, right?

Is there a purpose to that strip of dirt running from the mound to home plate? Arizona is the only MLB stadium I know of that has it and it looks weird as hell.

It supposedly dates back to the early, early days of baseball when teams played on cricket pitches.
