By saying he is no Machado do you mean after he catches the ball he does not read the label on the ball and gun the throw to first?

Texas has been streaky all year. Sadly we caught them in a hot streak.

There we go. I thought Mountcastle had a good first at bat

Didn't they print the box score from late games the next day? I lived in the Harrisburg PA area and the Harrisburg paper (Patriot News) printed a morning addition and an evening edition. Luckily my parents got the evening edition and i always got the box scores for all the games?

Really bad outfield play the first 2 games.

Great season!! Sad that our playoff chances are gone but for the first time in years i can look to the next season optimistically.

How many players a year does this impact? At most it would be about 1 per team and realistically much less than that number. There are 780 players on MLB rosters. 15 players would be 2%.

About 15 seconds or twice as fast as Machado.

"That is a disgusting act"

We should never pitch to Arozarena. This guy kills us year after year like nobody i remember. Yes there have been guys who did well against us in a given year but this guy is doing it every year.

22-22 since May 3rd. Not to shabby.

I listened to this duo (Garceau and Newman) for the first time on radio about a week ago. They are the worst combo i have ever heard broadcast a game of any kind with the only exception being possibly a high school game. We have gone from Chuck Thompson, Jon Miller and Joe Angel to this. Not sure you could have hired worse announcers if you tried. For a team struggling to get fan interest the choice to hire these announcers boggles the mind.

Ortiz was a DH. His only contributions to his teams was hitting. He had a career 56.7 OWAR. Bobby Grich had a career 62.6 OWAR. There is no way this guy is a first ballot HOFer. I dont care what the circumstances were that allowed him to go in on the first ballot.

The division is tough but the Rays have done ok. In the last 14 years (including 2021) they have been over .500 10 times and they had 2 seasons of 80-82. They were in the playoffs 6 times and about to be 7. We have been so far behind our division rivals for so long it is amazing we have any fans at all. We had 5 seasons of .500 or better in the last 24 years (including 2021). That is St. Louis Browns territory.

Typical.

Was looking at Gentile on baseball reference. He finished 3rd in the 1960 rookie of the year voting. Oriole Ron Hansen finished 1st and Oriole Chuck Estrada finished 2nd. Not to shabby.

Seems baseball on field protocols are working pretty good. Based on the test results so far it did not spread to the Phillies which as a player would make me feel pretty good. And if Marlin players did go to a strip club (as has been rumored) I am sure it was just for a to go order of wings and left immediately after picking up the order.

You would think that MLB has a contingency plan if something like this happened. They should open the book to what ever page that plan is on and proceed accordingly. There is no way they could not have a plan for something like this.

it seems to me that cancelled is different from postponed. Usually when a game is rained out it is postponed. The fact that they say this game is cancelled makes me unsure how it will be handled.

Will they be able to use an "invisible" runner if they one?

I see Pat Kelly played for the Royals in this game. I remember Kelly hitting a pinch hit home run against the Red Sox that won the game and Bill Odonell went crazy (in his own way) by calling him Harold Patrick Kelly blah blah. I think i found the game, it was on 5/23/79. 79 was a pretty exciting year except for the very end.

i had 69. In reality the best you could get is 92 unless you know Browns history.

That is what i thought also but i havent seen anybody else with that opinion. Thanks for being there:)
