Donaldson pulling a Jeter? Shades of Armando Galarraga on a play at first in a perfect game? John Gibbons looking like he's sucking on a lemon but really he just happened to glimpse Brett Cecil? The eighth was thick with humidity. The tension was buzzing from a few bugs that made their way inside the domed stadium as Marco Estrada went for a perfect game. Unfortunately, Donaldson diving into the stands to make the first out in the 8th, when the announcers said he was "pulling a Jeter," didn't stop the infield hit on the very next batter when Logan Forsythe just barely beat it out to first. To misquote that previous sentence, it would be the first time a pulling Jeter had to beat it out. Marco ended the game with 8 2/3 IP, 0 ER, 2 hits, zero walks and 10 Ks. He's now allowed three hits in his previous two starts (over 15 2/3 IP). Estrada's main peccadillo -- or ponchadillo, as might be the case with Estrada -- is he allows a shizzton of homers and he pitches his home games in Toronto. He's recently looked untouchable, and I'd stay with the theme and not touch him. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
