I feel like Erik Kratz played with Sil Campusano and Porfi Altamirano

A real puzzler. He hasn't played a lot but his minus 31 OPS plus is impressive.

It is because both of their catchers will be suspended this weekend.

Also, I was fooled by minor league.com actual stats were good. .836 OPS in Columbus.

Teams lie, sometimes for good reasons, sometimes for bad. They do it to get an advantage while they look at the trade market or just because they can

Old friend Jeremy Hellickson is staked to a 1-0 lead over the Yankees in a game that didn't start until 9:15 because of rain.

Blue Jays/Red Sox going into the 18th

Red Sox have used 10 pitchers and 26 players so far

Make that 11/27. Donaldson of the Jays just got ejected, which probably wasn't the smartest thing to do, especially arguing over strike one.

Machado hits a 2 run home run to win it with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, 7-6. Exciting late night baseball.

Evidently the Jays saw this coming, since backup catcher Raffy Lopez is playing third, a position he played for the first time earlier this year: 4 innings at Buffalo.
