Zombie ball in Sea on MLBN.

Walk-off fucking walk. Good job, new reliever from LAA.

Have to side with Beau here. The pitcher missed his spot horrendously and the catcher didn’t even try framing it. That’s on them.

if the umpire was lined up over the plate he would have been able to see that the ball was in the zone. he also doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt when he was terrible all game.

He’s pretty lined up on the plate. Camera angle isn’t dead on. If you look at the comments there’s a reason hardly anyone is flaming him. If you know ball you know that call isn’t on the umpire.

I have no idea what you’re talking about.  That is definitely on the umpire.

the umpire blowing a ball/strike call isn’t on the umpire? guess i don’t know ball.

The Mariner's announcers thought maybe the ump was distracted by the runner on 3rd on one of those pitches. Even they were surprised by some of the calls.

[shadow_operative2.0 15965]

Solo Stott yack makes it 2-0 in top 8. 

 

Stellar day by AL West so far. 

[TheStoicPaisano 9922]

20 straight Ls for CWS.

Damn, 6-0 Philly now.

I caught the ESPN Sunday statcast for the first time.  (I thought ESPN2 was still doing that AROD-Kay egofest thing.)  

Trevor May was really interesting.

He’s 100% not ready for the big leagues, but tickets must be sold. 

In the five games since being recalled, Holliday has seven hits, two home runs, two walks, and seven RBI.  That’ll sell tickets for sure …

He’s gotten into a lucky streak. Big whoop. 
 

Oh yeah.. The Yankees were (literally) the worst team in baseball for almost 2 months, and you guys used that window to open up a gigantic 0.0 game lead in the standings. Congrats. 

[UTPhil2006 3807]

Do what you will with this info 

[Helobious 9448]

So the entire betting world agrees with me except whatever bet365 is? That isn’t the burn you think it is.

[Derka 6175]

logan allen is having a terrible day. sent down to the minors for 30 days, comes back up today, gives up back to back hr to start the game, then gets absolutely nailed in the head by comebacker from randall grichuk. i can’t believe they are letting him stay in. 

[Derka 6175]

it should be 100% mandatory that any pitcher who gets hit in the head by a batted ball has to leave the game and immediately go to the hospital for tests and monitoring. this is a no-brainer, pun intended.

Loneliest seat in sports

 

[Beau Vine 54211]

I'm most surprised that you were allowed in the upper deck.

[Beau Vine 54211]

And the only good thing about the A's moving is getting rid of that fucking stadium.

Mt. Davis is tarped off and I have no idea where the doors are or I'd be up there.

 

This seat was literally $35

semi-related: i wonder how good of an all-time team you could come up with using only players whose last names end in “z”? i think it’d be a pretty damn good team.

[shadow_operative2.0 15965]

21 for the losers.

Shohei makes it 5-3 in bot 8 on MLBN.

i mean yeah, that’s a pretty sick team. i doubt you could make a better team using any other single letter.

Not sure about that....just off the top of my head thinking of S

Bonds, Mays, Clemens, Pujols, Ted Williams, Banks, Frank Thomas, Mathews, boggs

And everyone ls favorite HOFer....Harold Baines

[UTexasFight 9431]

Maddux and Fox gonna have a hard time carrying the X’s.

Ryan/Randy and Walter Johnson. And

This is the winner.   You've also got four of the greatest Negro Leaguers ever:  Turkey Stearns, Willie Wells, Smoky Joe Williams, and Mule Suttles.   Ernie Banks would be on the bench for that team.
