Isn’t that par for the course with him?

Gardner Ks and reaches on a ball thru HIS 5 hole.

Never seen that.

DP ends the game.

Suck it, NY.

Question:

1st base open: Batter swings/misses strike 3, ball hits batter while he’s in the box.

Is the play dead after ball hits him or is it business as usual?

Jays still leading the O’s, and the Giants out in front of the Padres early. Giants can clinch with a win in that one.

Ball is dead. Strike three, no runners can advance.

Anytime a pitched ball hits the batter, it’s an immediate dead ball which kills any play. No runners advance from the bases they occupied on the pitch, unless forced by the batter being awarded 1B.

The Padres demise astonishes me

They were very top heavy with no depth at all. They ended up so desperate for pitching they grabbed Arrieta and Velasquez off waivers

Embarrassing and painful at the same time…
Not a Kodak moment.

Bogaerts takes Coie deep to CF in the 1st. Quickly 2-0 Sox.

MM started a general Postseason thread. Let’s stick with that one.

Good idea. Me too.

Colt .45 cap looking like a Colt .22 cap? Try new boner pills™!

The Cards fired Mike Shildt? That’s kind of a stunner after the season they had.
