My favorite part might the “Jose” song that the PA announcer queues up (and the crowd chants loudly to) after Anderson’s corpse hits the ground

Sounds like this started from last night when Anderson knocked the guy's hand off second base to tag him which was pretty bullshit if you ask me.

Ramon Laureano DFA by the A's. Kinda crazy the A's are DFA'ing anyone at this point.

Dang, I doubt the Twins will move on from Jordan Luplow that quickly, but I feel like Laureano would be a strict upgrade? Laureano seems like he actually hits lefties well, where as Luplow had a good stretch from 2019 through 2020 and hasn't done that job well since or really before. Guess it could be a moot point, and he's never even available to the Twins.

Yeah I went back to double check the replay and Anderson knocking Rocchio's arm off 2nd after he's already stopped and gotten to his feet is loving blatant.

Anderson deserved to get decked. I said what I said. That replay I posted is from last night's game, and it boiled over to tonight and Jose Ramirez clearly thought it was also bullshit, hence why he punched him.

Don't want to get punched? Don't shove a guy's hand off the bag and claim you tagged him.

If you want to qualify it by how much money was spent for the production they're getting I think it's hard to beat the Mets for biggest disaster this season. White Sox are pretty bad tho.

I might honestly say White Sox. Yes, the Mets had much, much higher expectations, but they also had a higher hill to climb. All the White Sox had to do was outperform the Twins, who were perpetually injured last year and have had a mysterious offense absence this year, and the Guardians, who have kept taking incredible L's at the worst possible times. The Tigers have been giving it their all but aren't remotely there yet, and the Royals have been a crater since their WS. Having ditched the geriatric anchor that was Tony La Russa, I think everyone was expecting that the Sox's players were going to take a dramatic step forward.

And in the face of all this, the WSox have, I don't think, spent a single day above #3 in Baseball's Best* Division. They're a disaster. And while the Mets appear to still have dynamism up top and the intention to improve, the White Sox have tried nothing and are all out of ideas.

In terms of raw return on investment, though, it's REALLY hard to argue for a worse season than the Mets. The Yankees' season is a pretty big wet fart for a similar paycheck, though.

Monathin hasn't been in a fistfight since high school, but is confident that if he got into one he would win it with his knowledge of Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

Anderson shouldn't have squared up to fight, but man I hope his season stops being a parade of calamities. That Field of Dreams homer was timeless.

everything else aside, the fact that this wasn't a stands but an overturn is wiiiiiiiiiiiild

e: assuming you can't challenge having your hand knocked off the base, that is

as in tim knocking his hand off and getting an out call couldn't be overturned because that part of it isn't reviewable

don't know how you can make a safe call, watch that replay, then overturn it

The replay crew isn't allowed to say whether the runner was pushed off the base, only whether he was tagged while off the base. The base ump has the authority to say that the runner was pushed off so he's still safe, effectively overruling the replay, but he didn't. Malachi Moore is a rookie ump, and so far he seems to be doing poorly. He'll eject you in a heartbeat but won't exercise his authority to make the right call.

Anderson dropped his gloves and squared up, then threw the first punch. He hosed around and found out. I've got no problem with the result.
