July 6, 201610 yr Last night's pitcher Brault also was making his MLB debut. Tallion, who's on the DL now, made his debut about a month ago, and Kuhl made his a week or so ago. Lots of young arms being ran out by Pittsburgh this season.
July 6, 201610 yr Pirates are promoting their top prospect (#8 by MLB & #14 by BA) RHP Tyler Glasnow to start tomorrow. Glasnow has been absurd in AAA this season. 7-2 with a 1.78 ERA, WHIP of 1.14 and an OBA of .176. He has K'd 113 in 96 innings. His one weakness is his inability to consistently throw strikes as he's walked 52 batters. His WHIP is pretty incredible considering his high walk rate.
July 7, 201610 yr David Ortiz hit his 20th homer of the season tonight. This is the 15th consecutive season in which he has hit at least 20. He is the 6th player to accomplish this feat. The others: Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Barry Bonds and Alex Rodriguez.
July 7, 201610 yr I ask Red Sox fans and not trying to be a jerk? This guy had declining stats 4 or 5 years ago and there was talk of him being released. Last few years, nearing age 40 I believe, he is a monster again. I know there's testing but you don't get better nearing 40. I've often wondered if him and AP have found a way around it.

July 7, 201610 yr I did not look this up but how many of those 15 years did Ortiz accomplish this simply as a DH? With interleague play he's played some in the field every year except this one I believe but in all 14 seasons with Boston he has been a DH. I'm not sure how much he played the field in 2002 with Minnesota.
July 8, 201610 yr ^Both are from Vegas, right? Matt Harvey is facing a potential season-ending shoulder surgery. Mets may be in the market for a middle of the rotation arm.
