I hate the Rays.

Niiiiiiiiice!

Grrrrrrrr

This is where Corbin shows us why he leads the league in losses annually.

Adley going first to third is awesome.

Adley is having a good night.

Got lucky there.

Let’s go G-Rod. Get it together.

Or a sac fly.

I read and write good.

Piss missile!

Said no one ever.

I know that Corbin is a lefty but I still don't like Hays batting leadoff here. With any luck, we'll knock him out. IMO, not only do you want your leadoff hitter batting that high with a good OBP to get your offense started early, it's to get him more at bats throughout the game. I want Gunnar getting as many at bats as possible. But whatever, Hays probably hits two homers tonight.

9/9 197 rarity score.

It's because it's easier to reach for a base/home plate with your hands than it is with your feet. Much more easier to try and touch a corner of a bag or home plate with your fingers than a foot. And easier to stay glued to the bag, too. That's why they do it, despite the increased health risks.

Well, we weren't talking about football but ok.

That wasn't my question. I don't deny that it isn't dangerous. My question still stands. Why would they continue to do it if it's more dangerous?

How do you know he did?

I'd be more afraid of the mom instead of the authorities. Did you see her get in his face? With that streaky hair, looked like a pissed off badger.

Why would MLB players prefer diving headfirst if they knew it wasn't as safe?

But he looked upset after a bad start! He clearly is a bad influence!

So you'd rather have them slide feet first, swapping the danger of avoiding serious injury to the hands or head for a serious leg injury?

He was pretty close on that steal attempt of home. I didn't hate it, either. I like the aggressiveness.

About 15 years ago my parents and I went to this fundraiser for the baseball team at Washington College in Chestertown, MD. For awhile they were doing this fundraiser event every year where they'd invite a Hall of Fame baseball player for an interview in front of an audience. Then after, there's a lunch where you can get an autograph, picture with the player, etc. I think they've also had Tom Seaver and Johnny Bench. Anyway, the one year we went, it was Brooks. He was great, everyone in the audience was truly delighted to be there but when we walked out of the auditorium somehow we walked out with him. It was winter, the steps were icy and he made sure that we got down them safely. Should have been the other way around but he insisted. We went to the dining hall for the lunch and my parents and I were seated with these two guys who were friends and they'd brought their kids with them. I don't think the kids really cared to be there or knew who Brooks Robinson was. But the thing I'll never forget about that whole event outside of walking down the steps with Brooks Robinson is that these two guys...grown men, were all of a sudden little kids again. They were so excited to be in the same room with Brooks Robinson and were nervous to go up to his table to ask him for an autograph. And that's what Brooks was there for! He was signing anything, everything, taking pictures, having a grand time. But these two guys were in front of their childhood hero and couldn't believe it. I remember one of them holding a baseball being like "Do you think he'll sign it?" I don't know if I'd feel that way if I saw Cal Ripken right now.

15 starts at a 3.30 ERA is great. It's fantastic. But it's roughly half a season of starts. You seem to not understand that. So is whoever they give the other 15 starts to, will that guy be able to match that 3.30 ERA?
