That's the second time something like that has happened at Turner Field, right?

It's actually the third time.

Two years ago, a guy fell from the upper deck to the player's parking lot.  It was eventually ruled a suicide (the rails in that part of Turner Field are high enough that it really takes some effort to climb over).

Several years ago (I think I read earlier it was in 2008), someone fell off a stairwell from the upper deck level down to the concourse level.  I think that happened after a game was over and people were leaving the ballpark.

Buster Onley had  column mentioned that Harvey only has 20 IP before he hits his inning limit for the year. That lead me too look at the rest of starters.  The first number is their previous high total, the next is max innings with a 20% boost and the number of innings left.


Syndergaard 133, 160, 15.2
deGrom.       178.2, 214, 51

If your the Mets do you protect your young pitchers, 2 of which have already had TJS or let them blow past the innings limits.

Nats now only 2 1/2 games behind Giants and 8 games behind Cubs.

Have been thinking mostly about Nats catching Mets but, if Mets continue to play well and hold off Nats, think Nats possibly could be a wild card threat to Cubs.

Span out for season but most of other key Nats guys back and Nats very capable of getting very hot. So, think Cubs need to play well for duration.

The Indians are going to name Mark Shapiro president. The Indians are letting him go without compensation, which seems odd.

This is very confusing indeed.

I guess I should proof read.  He's going to the Blue Jays from the Indians.

I saw that play.  Wasn't the white line his glove was above just part of the ad on the wall?

Braves pull Jonny Gomes in the 6th inning of a 1-0 game.  He has been mentioned in trade rumors, and it seems likely that he's been traded.

Giants/Dodgers tied into extras. Dodgers gave up the lead in the 8th, then had the winning run at 3rd with one out in the 9th and couldn't score.

Marlon Byrd has 3 RBI giving him 17 in 10 games as a Giant.
