In the broadcast booth, AJ Pierzynski comes across as a nice guy. Eric Hosmer comes across as a raging dbag.

Patrick Bailey is a great defensive catcher but so far has been almost as bad as Naylor on challenges
English
@pronkville08 You were just complaining last night that we never throw anyone out, now we're all in on catcher defense. Tugboat is fun but his stuff is not top prospect level. The bigger loss is the draft pick

WTF? I don’t know a single Ohioan who has the St Louis #Cardinals

Most hated MLB team by state

@pronkville08 Didn't see the game but that wouldn't show up on my scoreheet dramatically, just a sac fly but with 2 little circles for RBI instead of 1
English
@pronkville08 A handful...Candy Cummings, Al Spalding, Will White, Tommy Bond, Pud Galvin, and Grasshopper Jim Whitney

I would love to know how many @ToirtapB can name just by seeing their photos

Duke did something that offended Matt Hayes's tender moral sensibilities so of course he did what any normal person would do and wrote a column he wrote a column where OSÚ is his foil. Journalism usatoday.com/story/sports/n…

I feel bad about leaving off Invasor among others, but Rachel had the best 3 year old filly season ever and is also my all-time favorite so

Lists like this aren't really my thing, but with racing on my mind this morning and not wanting to think about that lackluster Derby, my top 10 thoroughbreds for US dirt performance since 2000

MLBN never misses an opportunity to choose a game that has an interminable tram ceremony before the game
English
You would think that a batter facing a pitcher with a nasty splitter for the first time would be told not to use a challenge on a 2-2 count with 1 out, bases empty in the second. Alas
English
If Craig Counsell thinks a 14th pitcher on the roster is so valuable, all he has to do is start Jameson Taillon at DH and give him 3 PA each game for the next 20 games. Apparently he doesn't think it's THAT valuable
English
@pronkville08 Line drive infield single to the pitcher. Would also write a note as it's definitely unusual enough
English
That’s crazy. I wonder how @ToirtapB would score that

NEW: Mariners pitcher Logan Gilbert just pulled off one of the strangest plays in MLB history… A 107.8 mph line drive slammed straight into his jersey and got completely lodged there. It took him a few seconds to figure out where the ball even went. The play was ruled a single because the ball was considered dead once it stuck in his uniform. First time that’s ever happened in the majors. Wild.
English
How many 7 run games have ended with a DH trying to stretch a single into a double? I don't know but hopefully only the one Rhys Hoskins just pulled off
English
It would be a better joke if there was a bet you could make that the first two pitches would be balls
English
It's a good thing this trend of pitchers doing gender reveals for their siblings only started this year. Emmanuel Clase would have thrown a first pitch ball for a boy and a strike for a girl.

Bold strategy to market spring water by flaunting the fact that many of the brands have the same parent
