2013 MLB Regular Season running thread

Ah Bodie. Making you look silly loses its fun when you do it so willingly on your own.

 

Anyone can root for a winner.

Ask all the Yankees and Braves fans around here.

 

There will be West Coast night games completed before the Red Sox and Rays are done.

 

That game is still on? I was watching it for ten minutes before TRMS came on and that was three hours ago.

 

8-8 in the 13th. Padres, Mariners and Dodgers all in the seventh. The race is on!

 

To the 14th they go at the Trop. Soon there will be dozens left watching.

 

Which is irrelevant to the point he did a very good job of making. Also, you have no idea when he became a Giants fan and no good reason to assume it was recently.

 

All Red Sox fans too, I believe.

 

Oh Mr. Umpire, if the runner beats the ball by a full step, he's not out, you fucking dolt.

Mattingly should have gone hard at the ump after that one. That play wasn't close.

 

This is MiLB, but Javier Baez, one of the top cubs prospects and top 20 prospects overall, hit four homers tonight. Only the second player in the 90-plus year history of the Florida state league to do so. He doesn't turn 21 until December.

 

Possibly slightly easier to do at Jackie Robinson than at the other FSL parks, which I think are still all spring-training parks. But nevertheless, four home runs in what is decidedly a pitcher's league is a hell of a thing.

 

Evan Gattis with a 3-run pinch-hit homer in the 9th inning of a 7-6 Braves loss in San Diego last night. As a pinch-hitter this season, he's 6-for-8 with 4 home runs and 11 RBIs.
