With the help of questionable outfield defense, probably the most infamous cycle. View: https://youtu.be/1Z76ikGhpww
The only Red Sox pitcher I remember from that travesty is Felix Doubront. Fernando Cabrera and Ramon Ramirez? And the CF who misplayed that ball into a triple was some guy named Eric Patterson.
That team still won 89 games. That was an odd year. In the AL, 9 out 14 team were over .500. 4 teams lost over 90 games. The other team was 80-82.

The Mets squander bases loaded, 1 out in the 8th. Lindor and Marte K on full counts. That might have killed Mets fans.
The Royals now have the worst record in the league by percentage points. What the hell has happened there?
Yaz gets revenge for the '67 World Series:

The Mets implosion in the 7th inning was really something, even for them. Errors, allowing a steal of home.
This is pretty bad job by the umps.

Dodgers have a very Bad BP This year. Only the A’s have a worse BP era than the dodgers

I am having trouble finding a better angle of this play. The swing was a bit awkward and took Meyers way forward in the box, and his job from there is to run straight to the base, right? It seems entirely possible to me that his baserunning was legal per the rules, but a full replay from behind the plate is eluding me.
Ended up with 11 Ks thru 4 1/3 innings, so all but two outs that way. Also 4 hits, 3 walks and 2 ER. Amazing.
A feat last performed by Pablo Lopez of the Marlins vs the Braves in 2021 / mlb.com
Not necesssarily "Stright to the base." Legal is between the lines for the last 30 feet. (even though the base itself is on the wrong side of the "running lane)". I thought he was pretty close to the base, so its really hard to tell.
And its when the ball hits (or misses; there has to be a throw) the runner, so the picture Martinez had isnt much helpful.
Old friend Michael Chavis in the middle of things..
Man, what a tough series in OAK! Rays lucky to escape with the split. First team to 50 wins. Crazy scheduling with this 7 game west coast swing, then come back home for a week and then turn around and go right back out west for 6 more.
A weird one in San Diego so far tonight with the Guards leading 6-5 after 3 innings. In David Fry's first at-bat, he swung at the first pitch and let go of the bat which flew beyond 3rd base, then he swung at the second pitch and put it over the fence for his first MLB home run.
Bottom of the 3rd, the Padres had runners on 2nd & 3rd. Brandon Dixon squibbed one off the end of his bat, basically a hard bunt down to first base. Josh Bell had to charge in to get the ball and then dive to tag first base for the out. By then Haseong Kim had sprinted from 2nd to 3rd and was more than halfway to home. Bell, still on the ground, couldn't make a good throw – Dixon got 2 rbi on a groundout that went about 85 feet.

Well that sucks. I thought I was done with her. I see that she still makes nonstop totally pointless comments. In the first inning she said that Freeman doesn't take pitches off. Does every other player often take pitches off during ABs? That comment made me wonder if it was Mendoza speaking.
Rangers have cooled off a little and Yordan Alvarez won’t be back for another couple of weeks. The opportunity is there for the Angels to move up in the West.
They are right in the Wild Card race too.

White sox are teeing off of dodgers pitching this week

Dodgers are currently 11th in the NL in ERA. The last time they didn't lead the NL in ERA was 2016.
I’m going to take this reference to the White Sox as the flimsiest excuse to post a link to this article by James Fegan, a White Sox beat writer who was let go in the latest round of layoffs.

Complete chaos at the end of the 11th in LA: Giants up 7-5, 1 out, man on 2nd, Mookie hits a routine infield pop-up. Giants 3B Schmitt drops it, the SF pitcher Junis picks it up and for no reason fires it over the 1st baseman's head, so the Dodgers are going to have 2nd & 3rd with 1 out and Freeman coming up. Except the runners get caught in a rundown, and Busch inexplicably didn't just go back to 3rd when he had the chance and gets tagged out. So it's now Mookie on 3rd with 2 outs, and then Freeman K's on three pitches to end the game.
A great call by the play by play guy: "It was handed to them on a silver platter and they dropped it on the ground."
edit: this is the play but with a different set of announcers:

The Dodgers also ended up with J.D Martinez playing the outfield and losing the DH so Roberts could get Austin Barnes an at bat.
Maybe there is a gas leak in the Dodgers clubhouse.

CB Bucknor lost track of the count in Cubs/Orioles with 2 outs in the Top of the 9th. Had to go to review to confirm it was Ball 4.
