Jose Ramirez just set up Jose Soriano in to giving up a gopher ball.

swings over a breaking ball that almost hits him in the back foot. Nods his head like “I ain’t hitting that.” O’Hoppe/Soriano agree on the same pitch. 
leaves it over the middle of the plate just below the zone. And Ramirez leaves it over the right field wall.

i love a good cat and mouse game

Rockies-A's heading to the 11th with the snow still coming down.  They apparently have heating coils under the field, so the snow's not piling up, but holy shit I question the sanity of anyone at this game.  I'm going Thursday when it's supposed to be temps in the 80s.

Don’t worry the Rockies found a way to give up 3 in the top of the 11th and lose.

The Rockies have 14 runs in 7 games and Kris Bryant has driven none of them in.

The Dodgers actually lost?!? I assume everyone in their starting lineup missed the game due to gigantism, a bar fight, getting arrested for unsolved murders in New York ("You don't know when to keep your mouth shut, do you, Saxy-boy"), not shaving their side burns, and shit, I can't remember the others.

Did the Pirates fuck up by changing the sign? Roberto Clemente's son thinks so:
 

"Yesterday, I was shocked to learn that the Clemente 21 sign—a tribute to my father on the right field wall at PNC Park in Pittsburgh—had been removed and replaced by an advertisement. This change was made without any communication or consultation with our family," Clemente Jr. wrote. "While we appreciate that the Pirates acknowledged their failure to inform us, it reveals a broader issue: a lack of meanginful collaboration between the organization and on matters that are deeply personal and historically significant to us and the fans.

 

"We have always been open to building a sincere and lasting partnership with the Pirates, one grounded in respect and shared values. Our hope is that this moment serves as an opportunity for reflection, paving the way for a more thoughtful, transparent, and collaborative relationship moving forward.

"I intend to reach out to the Pirates directly to explore this further."

The dude is a legendary representative of the Pittsburgh franchise and commitment to humanity in general.  How could that ever happen?

Not that they have played very often but, I thought this was funny. The Pirates had a walk-off single yesterday to beat the Yankees and it was the first walk-off for the Pirates against the Yankees since Maz in the 1960 World Series.

It's such a piss-poor run franchise. We have one of the top ballparks but a AAA team has been trotted out since 1992.

I'd rather go see The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings.

What's the worst thing that can happen giving a 15 year contract to a 26 year old dude that is ~6'0 and already weighs 250 lbs.

Former major leaguer Octavio Dotel has died in a tragic accident, per multiple sources out of the Dominican Republic, including Diario Libre. The roof of the Jet Set club in Santo Domingo collapsed in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Full details of the tragedy are still emerging but Diario Libre says at least 27 people have died while rescue efforts continue. It was initially reported that Dotel was pulled from the rubble alive but the most recent reports indicate he was taken to a hospital, where he arrived without vital signs. He was 51 years old.

Exact details of the tragic situation are difficult to pin down, but it appears hundreds of people were in the venue for a concert when the collapse happened. Dozens of people have been pulled out alive but many have died and the figures are likely to change. Dotel was reportedly trapped for about 11 hours before being rescued and initially survived, but was declared dead after being taken to a hospital.

Dotel was well known to baseball fans because he pitched in the majors for over a decade and bounced around to various teams. He made his major league debut with the Mets in 1999, working in a swing role. He was traded to the Astros ahead of the 2000 season and continued to work both out of the rotation and the bullpen for a while.

He eventually moved into a primary relief role and had more success. Though his earned run average was over 5.00 in both 1999 and 2000, he posted a 2.66 ERA in 2001. He tossed 105 innings over 61 appearances, only four of those being starts.

He continued working as a solid reliever for years after that, bouncing to the Athletics, Yankees, Royals, Braves, White Sox, Pirates, Dodgers, Rockies, Blue Jays, Cardinals and Tigers. He finished his career with a 3.78 ERA in 758 games. He recorded 109 saves and 127 holds. He won the World Series with the Cardinals in 2011. He was a part of a combined no-hitter with the Astros in 2003. He retired in 2014.

ESPN thinks he's still alive, but Nellie Cruz's sister was also killed.
