That clip will always get pos rep from me.

Tatis just hit one on top of the left field brick building in San Diego and as I type this Machado belts one put.

You know Manfred is terrible at his job when Brodie Von Wagonen is shredding him up for the press:

Unbelievable, I just cashed a ticket on Padres -1.5; came into the bottom of the 7th down 3-7, they score 7 in the final frame ending with a 3 run homer.

[TonyTexas 10534]

Manfred has done the impossible and became a worse commissioner than Goodell. He never does the right thing.

maybe it's because i don't really use twitter, but i only just now was turned on to Aubrey Huff's twitter page, and yikes. i'm assuming that i'm the last one to find out what an assclown this guy is. is there any way we can get the MLB to ban him for life? he makes Pete Rose look like a gentleman and scholar.

You are.  He's like a more unfiltered Schilling, without the baseball talent.

Make em run the bases 42 times each, as a display of how MLB lays down the woke challenge to the NBA...

White Sox going for it!  

They just traded for Jarrod Dyson lol

trivia time: who leads the MLB in OPS at 1.181?

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

Charlie Blackmon?

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

Dang, I wasn’t close. Cheated and looked it up.

[shadow_operative2.0 16033]

 

Barreto has been active the entire season, hitless in only 10 PA. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16033]

7 Ls in a row, Judge hurt again, Aroldis walked-off, we’re in for a serious Helo rant soon. 

[Beau Vine 54466]

Really proud of the Astros and A's -- that is how you do it.

[shadow_operative2.0 16033]

Fucked up the eight AL playoff teams are pretty much set already, just order to be determined. 

Oak
Hou
TB
NYY
Tor
CWS
Minn
Cle

Anyone watching MLBN? Andrelton hoses tying run at 3B for 2nd out in 9th.

For some perspective, that’s the equivalent of a 19 game losing streak in a regular season. This team is more fucking broken than the country right now. Walk off loss in the 7th inning in their home fucking ballpark. If that doesn’t speak to what a clusterfuck of a season this has been idk what does. Yankee universe twitter saying Judge & Gleyber are likely out for the year, Gianpussy Stantbitch already confirmed to be out for the season. They should go find some middle school football coaches to be their new S&C staff. It would be a serious upgrade and that isn’t a joke. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16033]

That was some weird shit seeing the Mets in their road grays walking off against the Pinstripes in their house. 

[Herpa Derpa 6132]

ARod and JLo out.  Billions gets his again.

[Beau Vine 54466]

The final straw that put the kibosh on the Rodriguez-led bid for the MLB owners and commissioner Rob Manfred was when A-Rod consulted with disgraced/suspended ex-Astros executive Jeff Luhnow, a source tells the Daily News.

Lulz.

[TonyTexas 10534]

After consulting with Jeff Luhnow about organizational culture, Victor Conte about strength training, Pete Rose about his odds of winning the bid, and the ghosts of Marge Schott and the Yawkeys about race relations, ARod and JLo withdrew their bid.

A few days ago he tweeted and deleted that Kyle Rittenhouse should be “celebrated as a national treasure”. So yeah, whoever said it was spot on. Curt schilling can’t hold Aubrey Huff’s jockstrap when it comes to this shit 
 

[shadow_operative 15932]

Yeah, Huff then tweeted a gif of the shooter blowing the other guy's arm off, with the caption, "He'll never jerk off with his right hand again!" He's a fucking real life piece of shit. Makes Lenny Dyktsra look like a great guy. 

[WBT 20672]

lulz, this is one way to end a game

 

[shadow_operative2.0 16033]

Noted veteran leadership by Yadi. 

[Helobious 9467]

Walk off wild pitch from Betances gives the Yankees the W. It’s the Yankees first time winning a game since 2014.

Shit, I never checked the Sunday night game after Atl’s 10-run top 2. They had to hold on 12-10.

Trammell seems like a scout's dream, but is slowly proving that he can't actually play baseball very well.

Keon Broxton is who I was thinking of, but he and Brinson were twins.

If you want to see something pathetic, look at John Sickels' 2010 DBacks' Top 20 prospects list: https://www.minorleagueball.com/2010/8/22/1635255/2010-arizona-diamondbacks-top-20

May be why this is his Twitter bio now...
