The 2023 Running Baseball Thread

I saw a video of a bowler who was rolling, essentially, a screwball -- right-hander twisted his arm so the ball started out left and curved back into the Brooklyn pocket. My elbow hurt just watching it.

 

Jose Ramirez just almost knocked Tim Anderson the fuck out at second base.

Full-on fist fight.

Stems from Anderson’s dirty pool at second last night.

 

My favorite part is the ump bailing out of there, I assume because they touched gloves according to the Marquess of Queensbury rules.

 

Anderson actually dropped the glove and they both put up their dukes! Anderson got in a right hand but Ramirez floored him with a wild swing before anybody else could get in there. Man, Hockey Night in Cleveland.

I'm guessing two for instigation, five for fighting and game misconducts. Looks like both teams will have to play shorthanded.

 

He leveled Anderson while off balance and a guy starting to pull him away. Dude is strong.

 

Cue Elton John.

 

From the also in the AL Central perspective, I don't have a big problem with it. If the Twins' hitting migrates back down from poor to completely atrocious, the division is probably Cleveland's to lose, regardless of who they traded. Both parties were playing for a chip, a chair and a chance anyway. All Cleveland did was lower the buy-in. Civale was nothing special in Detroit today.

 

Cleveland now has Jose Ramirez’s statue planned. It’s him landing a right on Tim Anderson’s face while being held back.

 

Still not as good a punch as Rougned Odor on Jose Bautista. Still stunned Joey Bats stayed on his feet for that one.

 

“Down goes Anderson!”

 

Oh, no doubt. It was so pure and square.
