Well, with the All-Star break in mind we here at The Watch took some “us-time” and got geared up for the remainder of the season. The Walkoff Watch Terminology
balkoff When a pitcher balks in the winning run.
derpoff When a pitcher walks in the winning run, hits a batter with the bases full, or the winning run scores due to a wild pitch or error.
200-proof walkoff When the home team scores in the bottom of a previous inning to extend the game and then scores with a walkoff in a subsequent inning.
pimpoff When the home team scores a walkoff following the visiting team tying the game to cause extra innings (or more extra innings) or scoring what would have been the winning run if the home team hadn’t responded.

July Team and Player Highlights
- Seems like the records in 1-run games are evening out a bit outside of the Mopes (20-7) and Brooklyn (4-16).
- Not surprisingly, Sacramento (5-0) has yet to taste defeat of the walkoff kind.
- A month is a long time so we expect to see many teams with multiple walkoffs but it wasn’t too crazy. Charlotte (7-9) got in 5 affairs and lost 4.
- Phoenix (5-8) had a tidy 4-0 month while Portland (5-10), Rockville (9-6), Omaha (6-1) boosted their fortunes taking 3 of 4 – with Omaha suffering its first walkoff defeat of the year which is impressive. Las Vegas (7-5) split 4 while Chicago (6-3) also saw their first defeats dropping 3 of a quad. San Antonio (4-12) saw the same outcome in their 4 walkoff affairs.
- Montreal (11-3), Des Moines (5-5), Vancouver (5-2), and Rocky Mountain (6-5) were on the winning side of 2 of 3 walkoffs. Hawaii (2-6), Atlantic City (3-6), and Charm City (3-4), on the other hand, dropped all 3 walkoffs they saw.
- A whole host of characters joined the pile-up for the Atlas race by delivering their 2nd wins.
- Madison’s Wesley Turner is just determined to run away with the Goat hardware this season surrendering his 5th walkoffs but San Antonio’s Usama Awad is reeling him in with 5 of his own.
- Charm City’s Manuel Barrera broke in line serving up 3 walkoffs in the month.
- July also saw the first player to break the hearts of more than one team as Montreal’s Gilberto Cordero found out that walkoff defeats don’t stay in Vegas.
- And the odds would say to expect at least one derp in a month and so we did as Hawaii’s John Moore plunked Omaha’s Wilson Estrada with the bases loaded on the 13th.
