Gabe Kapler ruptured his achilles tendon on a home run trot and they had to pinch run for it. Tony Graffanino, who hit the home run, wisely did not pass him on the basepaths or it could've been a non-homer homer

Kalenn Istarion posted:That seemed I actually don't mind "Seeya!" and Jeter's 3000th was a lot better than I remember it being, but Kay is p bad a lot of the time, he tries to fill too much time for a TV guy. It's not helped that the other guys in the YES booth are so much better too. Just let David Cone and Paul O'Neill shoot the poo poo for the entire game. Or just have Cone tell stories about his early years in baseball.

The Nats TV booth is not good, but Dave and Charlie on the radio own a lot and I genuinely enjoy their home run calls. MLB was even nice enough to put together this nice juxtaposition of the two as evidence of radio supremacy: http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/11493214/v103697683/must-c-classic-harper-hammers-three-homers

Poque posted:it's full of stars.   Anyway, as long as we're talking about spring training shenanigans, I feel I should mention that Noah Syndergaard referred to Robert Gsellman as his son in an interview with the New York Post. Noah Syndergaard, national treasure, posted:Dan [Warthen] thought it would be a good idea, and I thought about my son, Robert Gsellman, throw on the road for once, get his own start, so.

Barry did some spring training stuff for the Giants before Loria hired him, and before that he often went to games at AT&T. San Francisco never stopped loving Barry Bonds.

White Sox extended Tim Anderson for 6 years + 2 options. He had a nice rookie season, although somewhat overshadowed by the incredible wave of shortstop talent that's come along in the last couple years
