Instead they score 28 runs in back to back games and go 1-1.Orioles trying to get just the 9th ever comeback, all teams since 1901, by 11 or more runs.
Sox had 30 runs in B2B games in 2015, and lost the one they scored 8 times in.Instead they score 28 runs in back to back games and go 1-1.
The pitcher made the delivery about a second late and it was out of the zone anyway, but yeah, not how you imagine winning a game when you are a kid.Rockies walk it off with a bases loaded ball four on a pitch clock violation.
If you actually saw the play, the game was over either way. Tie game, bases loaded, no one out, 3-2 count, and he released the pitch a bit late and it would have been ball four anyway.I know that (at least it SEEMS like) most everyone is happy with the shortened average game times, but that "walk-off due to a pitch clock violation" is the saddest thing I have ever seen.
I used to be a pitcher and, otherwise at heart, a baseball romantic. I think a part of me has officially died.
Sure, just as I'm sure there were basketball players not thrilled by the 24 second clock, but you adapt or die.Sometimes an athlete needs a little extra time to gather themselves when it's hitting the proverbial fan. I know there were times I did.
Fully agreed here, although if professional sports really cared about the health of their athletes, they would shorten the seasons, especially in the post-Covid era where many people now have weakened immune systems.Also, the added physical impact/struggle to pitch at 100% while on a timer is a real factor. I am totally in awe of those guys that are doing it now and hope we don't end up with higher rates of injury because of it.
Only those hopeful of seeing fanbases squirm over the trade deadlineI‘m not sure how many people had this as the top records in June
Mets 12-6
Red Sox 13-7
Astros 13-7
I don't know how hot it was in Chicago, but I wonder if it was weather-related. I was at the Phillies game yesterday and there were a number of hit/near hit batsmen and I thought maybe with the heat and humidity, the pitchers had a hard time gripping the ball.
The first 1-3-5 triple play since 1929.Phillies turn a triple play; with some help from questionable baserunning by the Tigers.
Wow, he will be second all time shortly.
San Diego is winning some wild games. And the Giants walk it off with a Cubs bases loaded walk.3-3 through 9 for WAS/SD, WAS gets 3 in the top of the 10th and SD get 4 in the bottom of the 10th, game-winner a Profar drive to the wall over the right fielder’s head after a tough AB. 2 outs and WAS wins if he could get there but he could not.
That was an impressive meltdown by the Cubs tonight. My wife has had enough of that bullpen of theirs. They’ve really fallen off a cliff and Counsell looks like he’s run out of answers. Some odd choices again from him tonight.San Diego is winning some wild games. And the Giants walk it off with a Cubs bases loaded walk.
Actually NY made him a starter down the stretch last year and he was awesome, that is why he was the main chip in the Soto deal.Don't get to watch too many Padres games, did not realize they made Michael King a starter
Are we sure the AL East isn't a bunch of frauds? The Guardians have the best record in baseball and are 12-6 against them.Are the Yankees just really good or is the AL Central a bunch of frauds?
I hate this revisionist history. I like Sale, but he needed a change of scenery.Sale 7 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 11K in a 1-0 loss. Man that trade has been a disaster for the Red Sox so far, albeit it felt like he wouldn't have put these numbers up in Boston.
He looks Vogelbach-sized in this clip:Jordan Montgomery just got lit up by the Twins (2.2ip, 8r), booed off the mound, and smashed his PitchCom device in the dugout.
Pirates at Blue Jays went 14 innings on 5/31. Jays won 5-3 on a walk-off HR.13th inning at Comiskey, is that the longest game this year?
ITP HR here in Anaheim, CF missed a long fly off the wall just to the right of straightaway and the LF wasn't backing up.
We made it 2 innings in the sun before retreating to shade
