It looked like the seams on that ball were coming undone off the bat. jonathan davis was probably thinking, "this ball is falling away from me" before he made that spectacular catch. playing CF like that is so badass. he's got the life.

Pillar doesn’t anymore, SF moved him to RF.

 Voit would’ve used the top notch info provided by the NY analytics team to position himself perfectly to catch that ball without moving. Real men make plays while remaining on both their feet.

one bad night does not erase an entire career of absolutely spectacular defense. Javy is easily our best/most exciting defensive player, but Almora is easily no.2. he's super legit in CF. probably the best defensive CF we've had in my lifetime, and we did have Corey Patterson for a spell.

Misplay the catch, unleash a fucking laser, do a little dance.

Holy shit, Edwin Diaz. 

HR, HR, 2B, 2B, IBB 

Loaded with no outs in bot 9 after blowing the 8-5 lead on MLBN. 

[spystud13 2371]

Then an IF 1B on a fuckup by Rosario, SF to end it. 

 

That was very Met-ish. 

[Sbbruin 21697]

4 in the 9th gives the Dodgers a 9-8 win over the Metropolitans.

Here was an update from reddit from last night for those that didn't see it-

I’ll never understand people that can’t protect themselves or won’t be paying attention sitting in certain areas of the park. 

Obviously I know basically nothing about this particular incident, but in general.  I at least hope the dad had thought about this and sat between her and the action so he at least had a chance to stop a ball, even if it didn’t work out this time.

Maybe watch the video before you show your stupidity?

[Sbbruin 21697]

Yeah, no offense, but that's ignorant.  And I have been on the field level and balls can get on you quick.  Not sure they can perform hand-eye tests for each fan prior to sitting down.

I did so before posting, so enlighten me. 

Whata stupid about saying don’t put defenseless people in potentially dangerous areas?

Having physical criteria/reaction criteria dictating who sits where is stupid when it can be solved with netting.

Certain parts of the park, it doesn't matter how attentive you are, those balls can get up on you quickly. My uncle used to have season  tickets right behind the 1st base dugout at the Texas Rangers and I have sat there quite a few times. Even paying attention the whole time, my uncle had to save us a few times with his glove he used to bring as well as a few others in that section. Some people don't realize how fast those balls are coming off the bat into the stands. I prefer not to sit in those seats anymore. Great view but it's not relaxing for me any longer. I think there's a net that runs down that portion of the park now, though.

[Pato del Muerto 52322]

No, I’m asking the patrons to realize the assumed risk isn’t the same for every seat, and sit accordingly.  Accidents will still happen. That they don’t happen more often might be proof that people already consider it, or that it’s not as big a deal as I think it is,

Real Sports did a piece on foul ball injuries a few years back. it showed that paying attention isn't really enough. i can't find the whole segment but the trailer gives you an idea.

Of course, one could also argue he flubbed it because that’s just what the ‘19 Mariners do.

And of course, you could also argue that his genitalia is of the female variety instead of male.

[Pato del Muerto 52322]

I’m pretty sure Long could have completely avoided being hit by that ball had he chosen to do so.

How about that?!

[Post Oak 20182]

Put up nets.  I don't need kids or anyone getting their heads blown up or dying.  Fix it. 

Those balls are coming in at 100mph.  Put up nets.

[Sbbruin 21697]

Ryu quietly putting together an All-Star season.  And potentially Cy Young, albeit very early.

He’s also not a six year old girl. But keep on with your crusade.

though not as easy to find, i always enjoyed the opening jingle as well.  always playing in the background until mel allen said, "all this and more....on this week...in baseball."

 

the ending song, while brilliant, triggered such a sad feeling in me, because i knew it was the longest possible wait until the next twib.

[Pato del Muerto 52322]

They still teach making the out going back to the starting base?

make that throw earlier and try to get the out going back to third.

How do rizzo, polanco, and bogaerts all have 1.5 war with their respective numbers?  Rounding?  PA difference?  Position?

If you were saying to yourself, “Sure seems like there’s been a lot of bombos lately" then you need to quit sounding like a douche and using the term "bombos."
