I assume that's Katie Nolan, because from the game I saw earlier in the season, that's literally the extent of her commentary.

[Herbie Hancock 7303]

Sea calling Kirby up. Expected to take the bump tomorrow. Not an M’s fan but I hope this kid lives up to half the hype he’s gotten. Should be worth the watch tomorrow

Watching Voglefat score from first on a ball hit into the LF corner is the funniest thing I’ve seen today. It will not make any base running tutorial videos.

The time between the ball getting to him and the ball being released on that 2nd clip is inhuman. 

[Helobious 9480]

This is objectively good for the game of baseball, hopefully it stays this way the rest of the year.

A bit pissed at Betts.

dodgers with two outs in the 9th had a line score of 4 1 0. Wanted it to end that way. 

with 2 strikes and 2 outs, hits a 2 run bomb

6 2 0

He's honestly a freak. There was some post on the baseball reddit of him the other day making the point of how easy he makes it look to throw 100+.

The rare true emergency C was used by Pitt today after an ejection & injury. First time he’s caught since HS.

Quote

The last true emergency catcher was Pedro Feliz with the Giants in 2007. Starting catcher Bengie Molina was removed from the game as part of a double switch, then backup Eliezer Alfonzo exited with an injury. Kevin Frandsen, the team's emergency catcher, was used as a pinch-hitter earlier in the game, so Feliz went behind the plate.

are your seasonal allergies affecting your ability to not sniffle or have watery eyes? ask your doctor if graterol is right for you. side effects of graterol include anal leakage, seizures, swelling of the genitals, nipple displasia, asthma, secondary yeast infection, and sudden death. don't take graterol if you are allergic to graterol. graterol- take your life back.

In case you don’t feel old enough, Carl Crawford’s son is projected to be an early round draft pick in a couple months. 

[DaysOff 7845]

Pretty rare that I get to do something "cool" on a layover. I've got a long ORD today. Can only stay for 2 hours then get back to the hotel. Maybe hit up Sterling. I don't know if I'll have time.

[DaysOff 7845]

Also fuck the Dodgers.

[Fudge Nuggets 19144]

Padres we’re shutout last night and held scoreless through 8.2 today. Alfaro with a PH 450 ft 3-run walkoff was not expected.

Savannah bananas. Collegiate summer team. They’ve obliterated all of that leagues attendance records and are pretty good to boot, 2 league titles in the past 5 years.

So what's up with the hijinks and assorted bullshit?  Do relief pitchers enter the game by repelling from a Blackhawk helicopter?  Do they have a guy on a unicycle juggling firesticks circling the bases between innings?  I guess this is the WWE equivalent of baseball.

They also have a Harlem Globetrotters type team, which is what that is.  Eric Byrnes, Jake Peavy, Jhohnnyh Gomes, and Bill Lee were playing for them last weekend.

I think that was determined a long time ago -  Bobby Bonilla 

[Guest]

The Mariners were able to dump Cano, but not all of his contract.  The Mets owe him $37.5 MM, but Seattle is still on the hook for $7.5MM.

Wow.

[Fudge Nuggets 19144]

In next year's annual performance review I'm going to tell my supervisor that my goal is to suck so bad at my job he will pay me $40MM to walk away.

Hah, he didn't specify MLB ballparks. Bringing in minors makes it at least possible, but extending it to little league makes it a little tougher.

[Beau Vine 53978]

 

Hell of a career for this little guy.  Homered in his 1st ML AB, and then basically forced himself into playing time as a 4th OF in AZ, then played so well they had to start him.  Big fan favorite in both AZ and WSH, got the Rockies to pay him $26M for 3 years, and retires with a MLB pension and World Series ring.

Trout 1 HR tonight, Shohei with a solo and a grand slam.

Josh Naylor may run out of innings but is halfway home to reverse HR cycle

GS in the 9th to tie it up.

3 run HR in the 11th to put them up 3.
