The 2023 Running Baseball Thread

I blame libruhls.

 

O's have exploded for five (so far) in the 11th; they're about to sweep Toronto. Quite the feel-good win if they close it out, with both the closer and the set-up guy being unavailable today.

Cedric Mullins just got his fifth hit of the day. O's had four starters combine for 0-for-18 ... and still have 13 hits.

 

The Orioles are very good. They have grinders at every position.

 

Cardinals got five RBI from Oscar Mercado and beat the Dodgers — and Kershaw — 10-5. Took three of four from L.A.

 

Thing is, it's hard to imagine a better situation for Baltimore than having B-level players -- Frazier, McKenna, Vavra -- playing for their baseball lives because they know the talent pushing up from below.

 

Yep, that's what talent infusion does, makes everyone better. I like how this club plays defense.

 

I came across Mad Max getting interviewed by none other than David Cone just now while channel-surfing. No idea if Cone brought up how rosin makes the ball stick to your fingers.

 

FAFO

 

Glen Kuiper, the paid observer of the Oakland Athletics (supposedly) MLB team has been fired.

The N word just rolled off his tongue too easily for it to be an inadvertent slip or mistaken enunciation.
