The best moment I ever had was coaching Little League (asst this time), and my boy had moved up from Farm level to minors, and was just not good.  As in 0 for the season bad.  But he showed up to ever

The very end of this sentence is funny.

Rocker's final performance Friday was his best: five innings, two hits, no earned runs, one walk, seven strikeouts and 44 strikes on 69 pitches against the Empire State Greys, who are 2-40.

Twice today, Padres have failed to take an extra base because they were standing at the plate, admiring what they thought was a HR.  Voit now the go-ahead run on 2nd with one out in T9 instead of on 3rd.

Just pathetic.

Lucky for Voit it didn't wind up mattering.

I don’t know what’s happening to me but I’m starting to not totally hate the runner on 2nd in extras thing. I get why the players pushed to keep it. Ends games a little quicker and creates immediate intensity.

It’s a good rule change.  There’s really no argument against it other than “iTs nOT reAL BaSEbaLl!”

This really sucks.

The 17-year-old daughter of Toronto Blue Jays first-base coach Mark Budzinski died in a boating accident in Virginia over the weekend, authorities said Monday.

Julia Budzinski was one of two girls who fell off a tube being pulled behind a boat on the James River in Richmond on Saturday, Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources spokesperson Paige Pearson said.

As the boat operator returned to get the girls out of the water, the boat hit a wave, causing it to be pushed on top of Budzinski and striking her with the propeller, Pearson said. The boat driver and the operator of another passing boat jumped into the water to try to rescue Budzinski, who was pronounced dead at a hospital.

Pearson said no foul play is suspected and alcohol was not a factor. "It was a terrible accident," she said.

As news of the accident spread, a vigil was held Sunday night at Glen Allen High School, where Budzinski was a rising senior and played soccer and other sports.

"It was a very happy, fun last day on Earth for her," her mother, Monica Budzinski, said at the vigil. "She was happy, laughing, having a good time and that's the way I'm going to remember her."

Mark Budzinski left the Blue Jays in the third inning of the second game of the team's doubleheader against the Rays on Saturday after learning of his daughter's death.

The Blue Jays later issued a statement saying he would take some time away from the team to grieve with his family.

There was a moment of silence for Julia Budzinski on Sunday before the series finale.

"My heart breaks for Bud," Toronto manager Charlie Montoyo said after the game. "There's good men and great men. He's a great man. He's a special kind of person. His family is great. The only thing I can share about what happened is that he left a note for the team. He did this while going through a tragedy, and that tells you everything about him."

Mark Budzinski, a University of Richmond graduate, played four games for the Cincinnati Reds in 2003 and retired in 2005. After managing in Cleveland's minor league system, he joined its big league staff in 2017. Toronto hired Budzinski in November 2018.

just awful. i was watching this game when Bud and Montoyo went into the tunnel to talk, and then only Charlie came back out. the announcers speculated that Bud may have a family issue to deal with, but didn't know anything else. horrible to find out that this is what happened. i can't even imagine.

That's the only argument against lots of stuff. I mean why not start every inning with a runner on second? What's the argument against that? The same thing.
