    This would not have been the outcome for a game in Fenway.
    The Yankees kid learned what a real fan was. Not the bums who call themselves "Yankee Fans".  Hope he becomes a Blue Jays or an Expos fan instead.

    @Ozzie_Isaac The mention of the Expos struck a chord.  In 1994 the Expos had the best record in baseball and Tony Gwynn was batting .394 when the friggin strike hit.  Saddest day I have lived thru in baseball. 
    Took 10 years for me to decide to go to a MLB game (enjoyed great minor league games) and then only because a good friend celebrated a 50th B'day with a suite at Wrigley.  
    Today's game sux-swing for the fences or strike out.  BTW from 1991-1996 Tony Gwynn (#19) struck out 19 or fewer times for each season totaling 2,944 at bats.  Last of the great hitters.  
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

    @Canugghead - Only could happen in the GWN.  What a great gesture.  
    There are good and bad fans in every stadium. I often wonder if the camera crew has incredible hands eyes coordination or high tech ball tracking cameras.

    @lousubcap I miss small ball.  Put the ball in play and good things happen.  Pitching achievements were much harder pre-elevated swing era.

    Is this true!?  This is unimaginable today.  Players get 19ks is a series now.

    "1991-1996 Tony Gwynn (#19) struck out 19 or fewer times for each season totaling 2,944 at bats.  "

    Trust but verify, averaged 21.7 strikeouts per season over his entire career!  Holy smokes.

    @Ozzie_Isaac As you are well aware, baseball is a game of numbers and has more numbers than any other sport.  Some may be questionable but all are out there.  Here is a baseball numbers junkie source https://www.baseball-reference.com/  .

    @Ozzie_Isaac the shift is bringing small ball back. I primarily follow the giants and have seen them bunt a ton this year when the shift is on.  I’ve seen teams scrap the shift later in games for the same batters that bunt the first time through.

    @Legume - All in with taking advantage of the opportunity against the shift.  To think there are many who advocate outlawing that move is beyond me.  
    If you want to stack seven fielders on one side, have at it.  Just be prepared to account for that decision.  
    I am still amazed that hitters in general don't adjust for the shift.  I get the feel, stance and timing in the box but...

    I am not sure what variety, tbh. My neighbour’s tree. I just get to enjoy the view. Sure is purty when the light strikes it just so. 

    @SamIAm2

    A nice change of pace, to be sure. My grass is in very poor shape, but I hope to get it up and running before too long. And will check the inbox. Thanks.

    Outlawing the shift is as foolish as batters not adjusting to it.  We don't need more rules and restrictions.

    Also, what are your thoughts on the electronic pitch calls from catcher to pitcher now?

    Feels gimmicky and anything electronic is going to have issues, but if stealing signs and communicating the pitch to the batter is against the rules, then I’m in favor of shutting down actual cheating and the perception of cheating.  If you have rules, you have to enforce them.  

    Now about Dillon Brooks…

    and WTF with the Bumgarner ejection?  Can we eject umps?

    My Detroit Tigers are showing great promise.  Nowhere to go but up.  Last in division, last in the league.

    The NL West is looking very strong with no team below 500.

    Cincinnati Reds- ouch!  Are tickets free yet?

    I had to check to see of that was Angel Hernandez.  What terrible calls behind the plate.  If you are gonna be bad at your job, you need thicker skin than.

    Terrible for sure. Unfortunately, accidents happen. That’s why proper lock out tag out procedures are a must. Proper training on it is a must. 3/4 of our employee meetings are repetitive training procedures on employee safety. Everyone has a family they want to go home to.

    We want you to go home to your family the same way you came in to work today.  Employee safety is first.  Everything else is second.

    It is hard to get people to take that serious.  Life is full of risks, evaluate the situation, identify the risk, mitigate the risk.  Usually this means following clearly defined safety procedures.
