It's baseball and umpires do not fuck around. This goes double with the home plate umpire because he or she is the one who calls the balls and strikes. It's written in the rules that a player touching an umpire is an automatic ejection. Do not irritate the umpires. You will regret it.

Eh, it's a bit more complicated than that. Realmuto withdrew his glove while the umpire was in the process of handing him a fresh baseball. This was after the umpire warned the pitcher that he was taking too long to throw his pitches. 🤷

I wasn't that bad in the batter's box when I was a teenager. Seriosly, someone who hit below the current MLB average of ~.245 wouldn't get any playing time when I was in junior high.

It's baseball. The Astros and Phillies have team OBPs of .319 and .317 with OPSs of .743 and .739 respectively. It's a total crapshoot because all it takes is one player having a very bad - or really good - day to decide the WS outcome.

It's not just the Zamboni drivers who might be on standby ... Anyways, back to baseball. I want the Mariners to win the World Series.

Ah, my mistake. Professional hockey teams always have at least one reserve not on the roster who can play goalie for either team in an emergency. I think that's what what you were getting at.

Please don't insult a Zamboni driver. He has to clean up the mess people make of a skating rink's ice sheet and is probably removing an entire ton of frozen water every time he resurfaces it.

I don't really follow MLB anymore and was wondering why the W-L is only about 154 instead of 162. That led to a wiki walk where I learned about Shohei Ohtani. He's some wierd combination of Babe Ruth and Seira Morimura ... Good enough on the mound that you want him in your starting rotation...

The Seattle Mariners. Indy doesn't have an MLB team. We do have a AAA team (the Indiapolis Indians) which basically plays in what would be an MLB stadium if it had 30,000 more seats.

One of my close friends served at least 10 in the Marines. He died of liver cancer last May. Melvin was 63. I missed his funeral because I was tied to IV antibiotics. You've probably never even heard of that Marine Sergeant.

He died at 94. Fewer than half of all American men even make it to 79. Celebrate his resiliance instead of being sad about his passing.

Based on the box score ... Muscgrove did about what was expected of a starting pitcher. Morejon just didn't have "the right stuff" today.

The Boston pitchers had a very bad day. 28 runs on 29 hits and 5 walks with only 2 errors just wrecked Boston's bullpen because, from looking at the box score, the Red Sox used 7 pitchers. EDIT: That inside the park grand slam was entirely due to an incompetent center fielder who should not be...

The HR derby is people throwing easy to hit gopher balls to power hitters that everyone wants to see landing in the bleachers beyond the outfield wall.

But you aren't a Pacers fan too. *disapproving frowny face*

Part of my childhood was spent in Seattle (Bellevue, WA actually). Go Mariners!

Looks like the Mariners are going to disappoint ... again.
