August 2015 Game Thread

That stadium is such a joke. If I were the Rays, at this point I might just embrace the absurdity. Build in some random figurines in the sky, with target holes for extra points, make the walls curve different directions, with moving parts that whack the baseball away...  Turn the stadium into a big pinball machine.

They got lucky, they didn't have to wear the shorts.

Survived?

Ah, fuck.

Ah, fuck. 

 
"A fan, who didn't want to be named, in section 401, told NJ Advance Media it was a man, who was apparently drunk, screaming at the Yankees with A-Rod came up. This person said the man flew over her and her two sisters from a row behind her and barely touched them as he went
.
She said he had been acting belligerently drunk all game. There was still a large wet stain on the railing in section 401 from what she said was his drink. The girls soon left their seats with security and several rows from the section were cleared out.
.
A security guard told NJ Advance that the man who fell was a season-ticket holder.
The fan sitting in 401 said she saw him fell and hit a railing, then bounce, and hit another one. The fall looks well over 100 feet.”

A witness said the fan was leaning over the rail screaming at A-Rod when he suddenly tumbled over the rail

Berating Slappy is an awesome way to go

Joc Pederson's line for August is .114/.403/.273
 
 
That's just about the weirdest line I've ever seen.

I'm not a lawyer or whatever but I think it's pretty clear A-Rod should be charged with murder

At the very least manslaughter.

Mess thought David's double yesterday was a home run, the reason they chose not to challenge the call

3:25 AM EST and still live baseball, Giants/Dodgers in the 14th.

So much for that, A-Gon walks it off in the 14th, big win for the Dodgers.

The game went 5 innings longer than it should have. Romo got away with a balk with the winning run on 3rd in the 9th. I think everyone saw it but the umps.

Bochy thrown out for the second night in a row, both result of bad calls by Ump Ron Winters. Seemed to take minutes for Bochy to walk from the first base dugout to the third base ump. Great theatre. Wish the Sox had a manager like him.

Guess it's Mike Winters.
