MLB 2014 season thread

Got there once, with my Little League on our annual bus trip. Look at those "football bleachers" in left.

 

Maddon gets ejected top 13th. He must have wanted to get some of the postgame chow before Heath Bell leaves the game.

 

Replay was pretty clear. Not sure what Maddon was arguing.

 

Runners at second and third with one out in the 13th and the Yankees did not have McCann running on contact for a Brett Gardner grounder. Fucking stupid.

He may be slow as an ox, but the worst that happens is you end up with runners on first and third with two outs instead of second and third with two outs.

McCann would have been thrown out at home, of that I'm sure. But I always say it's best to force the defense to make that play, especially in the bottom of the 13th. You never know what can happen when you force the issue.

 

Jetes 0-for-7. Alert authorities in Mankyville ...

 

What do you do when you can't get the ball out of your glove? If you're Jose Abreu, you make it 3GLOVE-1 in the scorebook. He tossed it about 10 feet to the pitcher covering for the out.

 

Terry Mulholland shrugs his shoulders.

 

First thing I thought of.

Second thing I thought of: Damn, I'm old. ;D

 

If you can't get the ball out of your glove,
you should be allowed to tackle the baserunner.

I'd pay to watch that action.

 

Bring back plugging.

 

The Braves - a team without an offense - have lost six in a row and seen nearly their whole NL East lead disappear.

 

What Dan Uggla is doing still with a major-league job is beyond me.
