MLB 2017: The Yankees are dead, Yankees burn in hell

....well, shit. Josh Harrison hit a walk-off home run to win the game. I can't imagine a worse feeling in baseball than. I feel terrible for Hill.

 

Reddick was another guy who gave the A's an identity. The current roster reminds me of the A's circa 1993, a year in which Rickey Henderson was traded, and Mark McGwire spent most of the year on the disabled list with a badly bruised heel. The A's home run leaders that year were Ruben Sierra and Troy Neel, who was in the news fairly recently because he was delinquent on child-support payments. Apparently, he was hiding out at a resort he owned on a small island east of Australia.

 

So I haven't watched much baseball this year, but are the Dodgers really that much better than everyone else?

 

i love the unpredictability of baseball. that was quite a game last night.

 

You cannot describe this Yankees/Tigers game without using the word 'cluster'.

 

Fulmer wasn't even warned for plunking Sanchez (which, in and of itself, was obvious retaliation), while Kahnle was immediately ejected for throwing behind Cabrera? Sloppy thinking on Carlos Torres' part.

 

The umps lost control of that game. These idiots need to go.

 

^ No matter what one's feelings are towards retaliation in general, the umpires totally fucked up during that game:

- If Fulmer was wrong in hitting Sanchez, then why wasn't he warned?

- If he was NOT wrong, then why did Kahnle get an ejection whereas Fulmer did not?

And Miguel Cabrera isn't blameless in this, either. You'll notice that when Kahnle threw behind him, Cabrera didn't even flinch. He was obviously not surprised to be hit. And yet a short while later, he gets all in Austin Romine's face and shoves him?

 

^I don't get what Cabrera was so upset about. He clearly expected to be hit, so there was no reason for him go postal like that unless Romine said something to him that wasn't caught on camera.

I don't blame Girardi for being pissed. If the umpires had issued a warning after Sanchez was hit, it's less likely Cabrera would have been thrown at because no one would have wanted to risk an ejection.

 

Apparently not. Suspensions are:

Cabrera - 7 games
Sanchez - 4
Wilson - 4
Romine - 2
Ausmus - 1

 

Can't say I blame Girardi for being pissed. Segura was waving all over the base line, and it seemed obvious he interfered with Didi's throw to first. (Maybe not intentional, but I don't care.)

 

Nice to see Cotton put together two straight solid outings. This team needs someone to take over Gray's role as staff ace.

 

Wow, that's just sad. The Mets have often been known to be injury prone, but this is bad even by their standards.

 

Here you go.

 

Who the fuck actually does the review, the same blind pews that are on the field?
