Haha, I was watching on my phone and didn't realize that was CB Bucknor who made that call, but man does that make sense. That guy might be as bad at his job as Harold Reynods is at his, and that is saying something.CB Bucknor at it again. Looks like he had dinner reservations in Detroit. Calls an obvious no swing by Machado a swing, game over with men on 1st and 3rd. BTW he was on 1st and they appealled to him.
Even the guys at MLBN were like "there are no restaurants open that late in Detroit!"
2 games is extremely light for him. Should be given 10-15 and mandatory counseling and training. No place for bigots in this world.Not sure where this fits, but didn't see it mentioned anywhere else and it happened in a game in May, so....
Kevin Pillar called a Braves reliever a "fa**ot" after striking out. He apologized afterwards but may be too little, too late. Link: www.thestar.com/amp/sports/bluejays/2017/05/18/pillar-should-be-suspended-for-homophobic-slur-griffin.html
Completely agree. He's apologized, but can you imagine the uproar if someone had used the N-word, and then apologized?2 games is extremely light for him. Should be given 10-15 and mandatory counseling and training. No place for bigots in this world.
Bigotry is bigotry. No place for it. Should be a zero tolerance minimum 10 games. 2 games is nothing. He's not going to learn his lesson here.Completely agree. He's apologized, but can you imagine the uproar if someone had used the N-word, and then apologized?
Yea, I'm sure some sensitivity training will fix him.2 games is extremely light for him. Should be given 10-15 and mandatory counseling and training. No place for bigots in this world.
AJ Preller, best GM in baseball (reference is from here: http://sonsofsamhorn.net/index.php?threads/trade-deadline-moves-2016.14743/page-2#post-1813034).The 2017 Padres are as bad as any baseball team I've ever seen.
It's Wil Myers, Don Orsillo announcing, and a bunch of guys whose careers shouldn't have begun yet or should have ended years ago.
Even for a team that's tanking they are impressively terrible.
He can go back to ESPNMinnesota up 4-3 in the 9th, trying to wrap up a 3 game sweep in Baltimore.
EDIT--and they do. Fire Showalter
Farrell`s replacement................and all of SOSH has a heart attack.Minnesota up 4-3 in the 9th, trying to wrap up a 3 game sweep in Baltimore.

He's at 100 pitches through 6 (not 82).Strasburg 3 hits, 1 walk and 14 Ks through 6. 82 pitches.
Right you are, that was game score sorryHe's at 100 pitches through 6 (not 82).
Outscored 50-8 in their last seven games. Yikes. Lucky for them four of their eight we're in one game so they were 1-6 not 0-7.The Mariners have been outscored 34-2 in the last 2 1/2 games (16-1, 8-1, 10-0 in the 5th tonight).
I agree but unfortunately Harper didn't land a decent one. Harper missed badly on the helmet throw and then copped an open handed hook to the jaw that sent him reeling back. He missed completely on his first punch and then got weak contact on a right hand lead.Quite the fight in this Nats - Giants game. If they really did just hit Harper bc he's good and hit a couple HR off him, then I'm on Team Harper. Fuck the pitcher and I'm glad he got punched.
Yeah, I noticed that too. He stayed out of the fray even when it became a pile on. Pretty smart for a guy who has missed an entire season due to injuryPosey just stood there and let Harper charge the mound. Pretty odd.
Buster is certainly no Mo Vaughn.Man, Posey's reaction is pretty damning. Just as Harper moves toward the mound you can see Posey's shoulders and head drop in seeming disappointment. Literally zero attempt to stop Harper from charging... Strickland may not be very popular in the clubhouse at the moment.
And it's a torn thumb ligament
Reputation for what? Not liking being thrown at?Harper has enough of a reputation that you generally don't want to give him the benefit of the doubt. But if you're a grown man who needs to have teammates literally drag you off the field, through the dugout, and down the tunnel then you're an ass and should be embarrassed.
The whole infield seemed to just stand and watch.Man, Posey's reaction is pretty damning. Just as Harper moves toward the mound you can see Posey's shoulders and head drop in seeming disappointment.
