Same way I've always felt about kick catch interference in football...if the guy caught the ball he must not have been interfered with bad enough that you need to call it

[shadow_operative2.0 15,968]

Jesus fuck, that is horrid.

I should be living in a place close enough, God willing, to see some of the games in Tokyo.

After climbing out of a 6-2 hole in the eighth, the Giants joined the 1932 St. Louis Cardinals as the only major league teams since 1900 to win three consecutive road games in which they trailed by at least four runs. 

Just two other clubs have accomplished the feat at home: the 1999 Florida Marlins (against San Francisco) and the 1961 Boston Red Sox. The Marlins and Giants are the only teams to come back and win all three when trailing by four runs in the sixth inning or later. 

Sick fucking pick by Wade to end it. 

@TornACL

[TornACL 7,698]

That was fucking exciting. 

The last four games have been a wild ride. Before the 3 comebacks they had the late inning implosion against PIT. 

[Scraps 13,561]

Beer you ok?

[tx 3 putt 76,907]

You goto a baseball game and you never know what you might see …..

 

[Beau Vine 54,212]

Jesus, that looked like a T-ball game where the first thing you coach is EVERYONE SHOULD NOT CHASE THE BALL!

That catcher has to be the stupidest kid in school.

The CF barely had enough snap to start for home in time.  I thought he was going to follow the runner all the way around.

Diaz blows another one for Mets, 2-2 in bot 9 now. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,968]

Holy fuck, Alonso & Lindor fuck up a DP, cue the elephants. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,968]

7-2 now, poor Mets.

I am utterly shocked that @Helobious isn't loudly pimping Luis Gil for AL Rookie of the Year.

I can remember when he got called up in 2021. I had no idea he was still rookie eligible. He’s on pace for a cy going with how he’s going

If I were a bettor, I'd be throwing an absurd amount of money on these odds:

[Helobious 9,448]

Judge is very quietly leading the entire MLB in OPS right now.

[Derka 6,177]

lol “very quietly”. everyone knows. it’s been all over tv and social media. he’s the hottest hitter in baseball over the last 3-4 weeks. “very quietly”. lol.

[tx 3 putt 76,907]

Hopefully it’s nothing serious ….

 

[Derka 6,177]

damn. that looks bad.

[shadow_operative2.0 15,968]

Yeah, that could be Achilles. 

[Beau Vine 54,212]

 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,968]

'Left knee soreness' for Acuna sounds awfully optimistic. 

[Underdog 28,614]

Dislocated kneecap perhaps? Had that issue as a kid when making any sudden movement and either knee would lock up on me and I’d fall down looking clumsy as shit.

“i don’t really have many skills other than playing baseball. well, and that’s fucking sketchy as well, so we’ll see.”

[WBT 20,562]

Padres just took a 2-1 lead over the Yankees  at Petco. Runners on 1st and 3rd and Kim bunts foul on a  safety squeeze.  Next pitch, it's still on and he gets one down.  Rizzo tries to bear hand to throw home and drops it - everyone's safe.

Heard a good stat on him when the Astros played the Twins.  If he hits some AB threshold that he's closing in on, he'll have the lowest BA ever (currently at .194) with that many ABs.  Looking at his stats, he's at 2747 now, so maybe it was 3000.  The current record holder was Maldonado who is at .204 in 3395 ABs.
