Carroll is blazing fast.

Holy crap. That was almost a full on Jim Halpern look at the camera.

deGrom only went 3.2 innings tonight. Pitching well, left the game early.

One of the craziest catches you’ll ever see.

That’s clean living right there.

Forearm tightness. Apparently, about 1 in 5 guys who come out of games and are listed with forearm tightness get Tommy John within a year. Just cherry-picked examples but Lance McCullers in 2018, and I believe Verlander in 2020, the initial diagnosis was forearm tightness.

Doesn’t mean it every time, but “forearm tightness” is the buzzword precursor for TJ, or a long layoff to rest it

Yep. That is code for “Oh, shit!”

Here’s Drew Maggi’s debut and first hit(s). He was optioned after the game in the second video so that may be that. Congrats to him.

Reading comprehension failure on my part: I was trying to figure out a play (not situation) that started 5-4.

It’s almost 4AM, Mickey Mantle is still drinking at a strip club and will be vomiting later. Then go 2-4 with a HR in the noon game.
