Dodger fan pulls off hidden ball trick on Machado HR. Caught and kept the HR ball in his glove, then slyly pulled out another ball from his jacket and threw it back onto the field. All caught and outed by ESPN.
Snell looked like a slapdick prospect in the Trop today. Got shelled for 7 runs in 4 IP. Giants career isn’t off to a great start.
And insightful.
And here comes Tilt
edit: And promptly walks the first batter to load the bases... the Tilt we all know and love.
Weird, was he trying to get points for magnanimity or something? Is there something significant that would make it untoward of him to keep the ball as he's entitled to? Doesn't look to be a milestone ball for Machado, he's at 316 HRs. What am I missing?
The Boras Strategy of holding pitchers completely out of spring training because he has a pitching complex... not looking too hot.
Also, speaking of SPs from this past market, how did Paxton walk 8 guys (1 K)??
The Pirates and their $84 million dollar payroll have as many wins as the Dodgers (11) and a better run differential.
As do the Royals and their $115 million payroll and the Guardians and their $105 million payroll

He said (paraphrasing), "I'd never get out of here alive if I didn't throw back a baseball." Pretty shrewd if you want to keep the Machado souvenir while avoiding whatever abuse might come your way.
Technically yes. A ball was hidden. It was tricky. But the act was not the officially licensed "Hidden Ball Trick®"
I drove out to watch the Mutts and I have no idea who the fuck Jared Jones is but he is destroying the Mets. Just killing them
Absolute dominance thru 3, the one hit should have been caught by the LF.
edit: 46 pitches 39 strikes and… now it’s 49/42 thru 4; 59/50 thru five, threw two balls to the same guy, he must be getting tired

Couldn’t believe that. 59 pitches thru 5 and they took him out. Felt like I hit the lottery getting to see this guy live. Took me an inning to realize what I was seeing. First time at Citi Field, felt like taking my son to a game and Yankees are not home. I will go again. Maybe tix will get more expensive when it gets hotter but they are giving them away right now. Parking $20 at the mall and got home in 55 minutes. Great day at the park. Still hate the protective nets though. I will sit in the low bleachers and party with the animals next time to avoid these stupid nets. What a travesty done to a beautiful game.
edit: I’m a fan of this guy starting today. I’m going to note again, the one “hit” he gave up should have been caught. Happened right in front of me

Supposedly the plan was for him to throw just 5 innings today. A bit over the top, but better the Pirates do this than send him down like the Marlins did with Max Meyer.
But absolute domination. He was supposed to have some command and control issues, But he has just two walks (from his first start) in 23 innings, with 32 Ks.
4 to 3 Rays in the top of the ninth,
Angels on second and third, one out. Line drive single to left by Rendon that the left fielder has to go 12 to 15 steps to his right to corral. The runner from second, Neto was thrown out at the plate. It was a no doubt hit that Neto should have been off at the crack of bat on. How does that happen? 4-4
Moot. Angels win 5-4.

Montgomery makes his debut for the DBacks tonight against the Giants, and their starting pitcher ... Blake Snell! Boras Battle!
If the shutout holds, the White Sox will be averaging two runs a game and be on pace to win 27 games. They could be the worst team in history.
A couple Sam Horn stories being told now on the O’s broadcast…including one of him striking out six times in one game.
Chris Taylor is now 0 for his last 31

As someone who hasn’t seen the play and has no idea what the above means, it sounds like his hand is horrifically mangled, potentially hanging on by threads
Snell/Montgomery showdown on Apple TV right now, Bottom 4, 2-1 Dbacks.
Soler just crushed a HR off Monty to put the Giants on the board.

After the Dodgers SS (whoever he is) flied out with two men on to end the inning, the Mets SS went deep with a man on to put the Mets back up 6-4 in the top of the seventh.
Joe Kelly came in and gave up two more runs, Mets now up 8-4. Tough night for former Sox in Dodger Blue.
Gary and Ron showing off and talking up the Mets City Connect unis. Despite their praise, they're godawful.
Adam O blows away the Dodgers in the bottom of the eighth, so if there is an ex-Sox hex going tonight, so far it's only affecting those in Dodger blue.
Wrapping up the theme of the night, Tilt gives up a run in the top of the ninth, while Jake Diekman works around two walks to retire the top of the Dodgers order to close out a 9-4 Mets win.
They've scored 38 runs in 19 games, so it's not like they've been lighting up the scoreboard in the games they have scored in.
Mets beat the Dodgers 6-4 for their sixth win in a row. The Dodgers top three (Betts, Ohtani, Freeman) got on base 12 times in their 15 in their PA (4 H, 8 BB, 2 R, 3 RBI, 1 K, 4 LOB) the rest of the lineup got on base 4 times in their 26 PAs (2 H, 2 BB, 2 R, 1 RBI, 13 K, 24 LOB).
Amazingly enough, the White Sox got the tying run at the plate. Pinto (apt name) almost blew a 9-0 lead. The Phillies had to put in their closer, who only threw one pitch for the S.
Brain dead managing by Cash. Take Civale out with the bases loaded and 100 pitches. Bleeping awful.
