Game ends as Freese hits into his 3rd DP of the game. Robinson was called for interference trying to break up the DP. He slid wildly towards the 2Bman, even kicking up at him, and was no where close to the bag.
Typical Cardinal play.
Ddogers are playing the Yankees a doubleheader in NYC today. It's just started in fact. After they finish the 2nd game late tonight they will fly to San Diego and play out on the west coast tomorrow evening. Three games and two coasts in about 40 hours. That will be a rough bunch of Dodgers after that game tomorrow.

How bad will the Angels be in a few years? For their sakes, they will need to churn out a lot of talent via the farm.In 2016, LAA will owe Pujols, Hamilton, Weaver, and Wilson a combined $95M (and Aybar another 8.5). That alone would make them the 15th highest payroll in MLB today. This is not even counting the inevitable monster extension Trout will have signed by then. Discuss!
2016
Pujols 36
CJ Wilson 36
Hamilton 35
Aybar 32

Crush Davis just hit HRs number 25 and 26 on the season . Late blooming prospect and still only 26.
I love how great the Orioles have been doing so far this year. I think they're motivated from last year's success and anxious to prove last year was no fluke. BTW-There are four O's players in line to start for the AL in the All Star Game (Hardy, Markakis, Jones, and Davis) and two more could seriously end up being AL reserves (Machado, Weiters). Pretty cool!

An MLB.com reporter asked what one thing Votto couldn’t do. “I can’t skate or play hockey,” Votto said. “Well, I can skate ... but I can’t stop.”
If Machado isn't in this year, its criminal. I like Showalter. They will run into the juggernaut which is the Reds though, preventing their WS win. Our manager's toothpicks trumps the 60 HRs Davis will hit.
I agree about Manny Machado. I got him by random draw for fantasy baseball this year and have been extremely impressed with him this year. He was solid last year when he came up to the Orioles later in the season but he's been a machine this year and I also love watching him play defense at third base. Great player and he's still just a kid!
BTW-I like Buck too. He's totally changed the mentality and attitude in that Baltimore clubhouse and I hope he's with them for a while. His post game interviews are usually pretty hilarious which makes me like him even more.

Heather, are the O's expecting to get Chen back any time soon? Because I think if they can stabilize their rotation, that's maybe the best team in the AL.

Adam Dunn just spanked number 19.
