Someone needs to charge the mound.

The last three posts belong in the game thread. Oooooops.

Diamondbacks pitcher Robbie Ray got hit by a 108 MPH line drive to the head. Daniel Delasco stayed with the ball and caught it in foul ground for the out

I feel like playing in Skydome must be like playing in a giant Sam's Club
Even if you get run over by a clown car and pissed on by a busload of school children, it's still your responsibility to interpret the meaning of the event and choose a response

Really? I haven't watched much of the Braves but he only has one error and his range metrics are not bad.

He looks out of place. At 1B, he's a Golden Glover type. This is my first game watching him there. His range metrics are small size. But you could be right.

more quotes in this piece:
“I got traded and I asked who I got traded for and they said Larry Andersen — and I said, ‘Who is Larry Andersen?’” Bagwell said Sunday. “They said he is a relief pitcher for the Astros and a really good one.

“Larry used to always get on me when I went to Philadelphia and say, ‘Hey, man, you’ve got to step it up. People are not actually talking about me anymore,’” Bagwell added. “And I was like, yeah, OK. So I do the best I can and play my entire career, Larry. OK, I am here: Is that good enough for you?”

The laughter followed, but afterward in a brief post-ceremony news conference, Bagwell was serious in his praise when asked whether Andersen would get off his back now that he mentioned him.


“He is going to be so happy right now,” Bagwell said. “I can’t give him a higher honor than that, but he deserves it. He is one of the true great people in this game.”

Well, it wasn't really the Cubs who did it. I have no use for the Ricketts family generally, but this was a very nice gesture I think.
