This young baserunner briefly entered the Matrix to avoid the tag at home plate

Not sure about Little League, but high school rules, that slide is illegal.

Interesting. Why?

Reason is a safety rule. High school football runner can't hurdle unless prone position. Baseball too.

Bartolo Colon has been DFA'd by the Braves.

Maybe our ole buddy Bart0l0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0 has finally reached the end of the line. But it was a great run.

Even PEDs have limitations, I guess!

Why Bartolo Colon’s PED History Doesn’t Matter

I watched the condensed Indian game and followed that one up with the Reds/Brewers game.

Big night for Jesus Aguilar. 3-5, 2 Runs (22), 4 RBI (25), single, RBI double (13), and a 3-run homer (7).

Heading into this evening's game, Aguilar's stats. Not bad for a part time player and pinch hitter.
He's hitting .346 against LHP, .340 as a pinch hitter, 7 doubles as starter, 6 doubles as a pinch hitter, 1 triple as a starter, 1 triple as a pinch hitter, 5 homers as a starter, and 2 homers as a pinch hitter.

With is 3 hits tonight, Aguilar raised his average to (.296).

Watching the Twins and Red Sox now. Sox lead 6-3 in the home half of the 8th.

Brewers are beating the Cubs 9-0 on MLB Network. You can literally see Joe Madden's beard get more grey as game goes.

Another big night for Aguilar vs the Yankees. 3-4 with a sac fly, 2-run homer, Grand Slam, 2 runs scored, and 7 rbi's, He's hitting .299 with 9 homers on the year and 34 rbi's.

Red Sox released 3B Jhonny Peralta.
Peralta signed a minor league deal with Boston on June 23 after getting released by the Cardinals on June 13. He went on to bat .200 with a .570 OPS in 41 plate appearances at Triple-A Pawtucket. St. Louis still owes the 35-year-old third baseman around $4 million.



Red Sox activated 3B Pablo Sandoval from the 10-day disabled list; designated him for assignment.
Sandoval batted just .237/.286/.360 in three seasons with Boston after signing a five-year, $95 million contract, and he played just 35 games the last two years due to injury. He's still owed roughly $50 million through 2019 when you include his 2020 buyout, but the Red Sox are willing to eat that money in order to turn the page. Boston will roll with Tzu-Wei Lin and Deven Marrero at third base for now, but they'll undoubtedly be in the market for a third baseman ahead of the trade deadline. Sandoval will catch on somewhere, but he would certainly appear to be a longshot to be a productive major leaguer again. He'll turn 31 next month.

The Royals and Twins are not conceding the division!

Nunez to Red Sox for 2 minor league pitchers.

For those that might care ...
