And he wouldn't even be playing there if Tatis didn't keep fucking up his shoulder. 

[Beau Vine 55012]

Lauren Gardner with an interesting look tonight.

She just said that Justin Turner is day-to-day with Groin Discomfort.

I can relate, because I suffered through that in junior high.

If you pull it repeatedly it feels better

Are you offering?  Asking for a friend.

Well the Rockies mascot is about to get a name change lmao

LOL.  It seemed a little too over the top to be real.  You'd have to be a brave/insane soul to yell that.

 

[Helobious 9516]

Who named their mascot “Dinger”? Did “Rocky” just make too much sense? Avalanche, nugget, a million more relevant names for that thing. Pro sport mascots are dumb anyways. 

[Mez2 4037]

i think he said the sheriff is near

i know, right? i mean what type of business wants to capture the hearts and minds of potential customers when they're young? fucking idiots.

[Helobious 9516]

Yeah that’s for sure the only way to do it. I have no idea how the Dodgers, Yankees, & angels are still in operation without mascots.

[Starfleet Command 441]

RIP to a real one.

 

[Huckleberry 33669]

That clip is like the brainstorm/green needle toy. If you decide that's what you're going to hear, then that's what you hear.

[Helobious 9516]

That’s pretty hilarious. Cancelling a purple polka dotted dinosaur. 
 

Not hilarious: I’d bet anything opposing fans  will be shouting “dinger” at Brinson as a tongue in cheek insult. Even though he didn’t raise any stink about this and said he didn’t even hear the fan.

You’re  right. Because what parent would ever take their kids to any of those parks and expose them to those vulgar and violent fan bases?

[Starfleet Command 441]

Angels fans are chill.  Yankees stadium isn't that bad if you avoid the cheap seats.  Chavez Ravine is a fucking cesspool though.  

[Helobious 9516]

Stanton just tied his own record for hardest hit ball in statcast era. 122 MPH. Of course it resulted in a GIDP. 

[Scraps 13603]

Eloy on fire....4 homers 10 rbis last 11 innings

How about "Digger"?  Like digging for gold in the mountains, or something.  Just spitballing here.

as a Cubs fan i don't take a lot of joy in saying this, but the White Sox are so badass. Eloy, Luis Robert, Tim Anderson, Abreu, Giolito, Lynn, Rodon...i've felt for a while now that it will be Houston and the White Sox in the ALCS. that said, as a Cubs fan i very much look forward to watching Tony LaRussa completely screw the pooch in the postseason. what a terrible fit he is for a such a young and talented team. 

[Helobious 9516]

Wild game in KC. 0-0 going into the 7th. Yankees score a run in the top of innings 7-9, Royals score a run in bottom of each frame to tie. Yankees score 2 on top of the 10th, Royals score 2 in bottom of tenth to tie. Yankees blow it open top of 11th, hopefully for good.

[Helobious 9516]

So lasts nights game was kind of historical

and they still lost.

What was he suspended for?

i'd want no part of a grounder hit right at me at 122mph.  if it was to my left or right fine, but right at me no thanks.

[elguapo 4597]

Manfred is ass

 

[TonyTexas 10587]

An interesting strategy to have a misogynistic and racially insensitive company like Barstool represent your brand. Let’s see how that works for them. 

[Helobious 9516]

Not what he was suspended for, but he was vehemently arguing several months back that the election was rigged because Trump lost… California. If that gives you an idea of how grounded in reality he is. He also advocated violence against liberal people on multiple occasions, I believe he got suspended briefly last year for it.

didnt he say it’s ok to rape Muslim women ?

No, he just said that people should travel to the Middle East and kidnap/murder Muslim women there. Totally different.

[WBT 20775]

Yeah, so if he topped those, it must have been something good

I believe it was something about battered women.  You can guess which side he took.

Working out ok with ESPN I guess.....soooooooo

Another way of putting it (and the way I saw it phrased) the Yankees blew a save 4 innings in a row - which has never happened before.

But, like you said, you got the last laugh. 

[Helobious 9516]

If Chapman wasn’t on the DL it would’ve been 5 innings in a row.

[Queen Bitch 1692]

Trea Turner definitely fucks.

I could watch this all day. So smooth 

[WBT 20775]

Not a fan of sliding past the plate and slapping it with your hand.  He'd get to the plate faster if he slid feet first and got the front foot down.  /getoffmylawn

I was at the game mor focused on the runner and had to wait for the replay to see what happened

Yes but the way he did it he avoided any chance of the tag. Unless it was a force out situation which I don't think it was. 

That's a 10/10 slide. 

[Underdog 28891]

Those poor worms.

Yesterday:

 

[TonyTexas 10587]

Mookie to the IL. That hip injury isn’t going to completely heal anytime soon. 

[Helobious 9516]

Field of Dreams game tomorrow at 6pm central on Fox. Yankees-White Sox from a cornfield in Iowa.

Wainwright throws a Maddux.

Rays score 7 in 9th, lose 20-8.

Same. I was like WTF just happened.  

[TonyTexas 10587]

One of the worst contracts in sports history. This is what the Orioles got for their 7yr/$161M signed in 2016. 
.196/.291/.379

I had a buddy that knew him from Longview. Man, what a crazy fall.
