I’m watching the Yankees play the Tigers right now and I just watched Austin Wells, the Yankee catcher, hilariously miss a lazy pop up behind home plate.
The play was ridiculous, but for about a minute afterwards, the play-by-play guys were making excuses based on the wind and things like that, then they realized how dumb they sounded, and they shut up.

Those pop ups were my worst nightmare when I caught.  MLB catchers should catch them 99.9% of the time though (which they do).

This gentleman takes the cake. And I mean that literally.

There's always this classic...

Hey these Yankees TV guys are pretty good!

Not Eric Nadel good, but better than the Arnold fellows.

lots of baseball history and so far one cool clip from the 84 World Series.

We should do that.

show clips from historic Os games now and then.

But never over game play.

Real NY'ers are Mets fans.

Pop-ups are the most thankless play in baseball; if you catch it, well, it’s only a pop-up, And if you miss it, you suck and people point their fingers and laugh.

But they don’t really consider how really difficult it is, but this play, was not difficult. The catcher went to his knees, looked up, stuck out his glove, and the ball literally hit like 3 feet away. It was ridiculous, but it won’t make the highlights.

    • It’s O’s and Yanks. Good guys versus bad guys. Baby Birds up against the Evil Empire — and another trip to the post-season is in the cards. I’ve been cheering for the O’s and very specifically against the Yanks going on six decades, and I’m getting good at it. So, yeah. I’m fired up. Now ask me about hopes and dreams. I don’t think this Orioles team is going to make a run to WS this year.  They have scuffled, they have failed — but I’m reminded, even in the platinum age of data — baseball is still a game of failure.  And man, runners in scoring position over the last week, I’m not sure I want to know that number. They’re still my guys. As long as they’re in it, so am I.
    • Let's go Tampa! Actually, I'm fired up for the offseason.
    • Not fired up, per se, but engaged in the ramp-up to playoff baseball. On one hand, it's like the spring training phase of gearing up for playoffs. On the other hand, it's like the playoffs have already begun. We're qualified for round 1, which consists of the next 6 games. Even watching the other teams play now is entertaining, as they jostle for entry to the next round. 
    • I really think that Westburg is the difference maker for us. I don't know why, but the offense just doesn't run right without him... like an engine that needs a tune up. I'm glad he's back with a week to go in the regular season.
    • Don't be too hard on yourself OP. We've all been there. For me, I usually hit a frustration point mid-late season and then start to just accept things. Baseball is a very weird, very inscrutable game sometimes. I've driven myself a bit nuts this season with the Adley thing because it's one of those baseball things that just doesn't make a lot of sense. Same with the pitching injuries.  Each season is a little narrative. This one will be the year we had a bunch of injuries, the year of the RISP regression, the year of the rookie struggles, the year of the questionable Elias trades, the year we couldn't follow up on the 100-win season, etc. And yet - it will be a playoff year. And that's the only goal of every regular season: make the playoffs. Hopefully our playoff narrative will change this time around. 
    • I’m fired up for sure. We are finally full strength offensively and this stretch of games will be a great way for this team to gel down the stretch. The AL East is still attainable so let’s kick ass from here and see where we land!
    • Westburg is back. Everything is fine now. Enjoy the championship run.
