The weirdest game I ever went to was a Red Sox Jays game, where I was about 5 rows up from home plate. Daniel Bard was starting for the Red Sox and he had no idea where the ball was going. He hit 3 batters and walked 4 or 5 more and I was shocked he didn't kill someone 30 feet in front of me.

He was sent down the next day and I don't think he ever started again.

I decided to look up Bard and see if he got things figured out in the minors and YIKES no he did not

All BBWAA voters should be forced to listen to 50 minutes of BondsChat with the Cespedes BBQ guys, and the ones stll harrumphing about cheating afterwards should have their votes taken away.

I think it was first written in one of BP's books that you could split Barrold's career roughly into thirds (86-93, 94-00, 01-07), and each third would be a borderline Hall of Fame LF by JAWS. I forget whether they mentioned that on the EW episode I linked.

Who is the most handsome player on your team?

That would be JD "Just Dingers" Martinez, who is currently rocking a 71.4% HR/FB rate.

This would not have been a balk had the ball rolled all the way to the foul line. :balk101:

Balks.


Unfortunately, only with nobody on base:

Rules of Baseball posted:

Rule 6.02(b) Comment (Rule 8.01(d ) Comment ): A ball which slips out of a pitcher’s hand and crosses the foul line shall be called a ball; otherwise it will be called no pitch. This would be a balk with men on base.

The worst thing in baseball is God Bless America during the 7th inning stretch.

With one glorious exception that I am obligated to mention every time it comes up
