This shit is weird

Braves-Mets are in OT.

And Dansby Swanson hurdles a dead 2nd baseman.

Wow, Paxton doesn't make it out of the 2nd

[XYZ 2154]

They’re really gonna play fake crowd noises? That’s retarded.

[Beau Vine 55859]

Stanton for MVP?

[Fudge Nuggets 19453]

I hate the Dodgers but like their cardboard cutout of the guy from back in the 70’s and 80’s that was always behind home plate wearing a fedora and working the radar gun. 

[TonyTexas 10740]

Joe Buck. “Judge was right on it”  as the left fielder catches his 300 foot pop up. Crank up the crowd noise.

I like that one of their cardboard cutouts got clocked in the face today by a homer and almost ripped the head off

That's pretty cool, I remember watching that guy all the way back to the HSE days.  He's too far off center though.  He was always right behind the plate, like here:

He was a hell of a scout

Big news for Refugio’s Jared Kelley! 

The Chicago White Sox 2nd round pick was informed today that he made the team’s taxi squad for the 2020 season. 

Kelley is headed to Chicago tomorrow (weather pending) to start working out with the big league squad. #WhiteSox

[WBT 20966]

I said it last night but the Padres just look right back in the brown and yellow.  It feels like Tony Gwynn, Jack Clark, or Gary Templeton could come out of the dugout.

My boy Asdrubal.

My boy Asdrubal. 

I heard Buck say that maybe the Rangers gave up on him too early and I nearly threw my shoe at the TV.

Setting the table for your boy, who is the early MVP favorite. 

And of course he is sitting against the lefty tonight. 

[ss13 1832]

Shitty call, but Starling Marte thrown out trying to steal 3rd with 2 outs down 2 in top 6. Not ideal. 

[Beau Vine 55859]

Orsillo said he was a late scratch for "non-covid reasons."

He only needs 5,715 strikeouts and he’ll get his name on a sign when you enter Refugio!

I’d love to know what they put in the water in that town.

Tres Barrea banned 80 games for PEDs

[ss13 1832]

Between him & Hoby, banner start for the alumni. 

[WBT 20966]

I guess PED bans are not prorated

[WBT 20966]

Rays are playing 4 outfielders and no third baseman against Cavan Biggio.  He fouled off 2 bunts and struck out.  Dad needs to get on his ass.

[Tribe171 10]

Carlos Carrasco perfect through 3. Awesome that he seems to have made a full recovery.

Tainted title.  Hoist the asterisk.

That's phantastic.

Ohtani coming out strong giving up a single then 3 walks in a row...then another single to score 2 more.

[SimonBolivar 11062]

Just now, Scraps said:

And another rbi single.

30 pitches- 0 outs....4 runs.

He gone

I could've done that.

The Oh stands for zero outs recorded. Infinite ERA!

[Scraps 13798]

5 runs now

[Scraps 13798]

*4 runs for now...still responsible for 2 baserunners

The Marlins outbreak may be the first serious crack in any pro league's COVID plan. The team will spend an extra night in Philly rather than crowd onto a plane home, where they are scheduled to host the Orioles starting Monday night. The four positive players have to quarantine in Philly either way. Remember the Braves also lost a couple players, and they just hosted the Marlins a few days back. (Reds also dealing with multiple new cases)

It wouldn't be surprising to see new positives soon from the Marlins, Braves and Phillies. Miami can't afford to lose many more without scrapping some games. This will be a nervous week for MLB.

Mike Brito.  Was there for YEARS.

That was an unusually good segment for ESPN on Dodgers Stadium with the stadium designer who has worked there and with Fenway and Camden.  Thinking about it, DS is probably my favorite mlb park.  It's not the same type of aura of the Rose Bowl, but it's pretty damn cool.  Can't be replicated because a lot of it has to do with the setting, the weather, and the 60's architectural kitsch.

The Marlins and Orioles are both in first place. 

Check this shit out:

Can't decide if ARod is the Nate Silver or Euclid of ESPN's baseball crew.

[markstanco 12785]

Probably mentioned.

3 games in, nobody is 3-0 or 0-3. Every team is 1 game up or 1 game down in the division.

Wonder how many times that has happened.
