2nd-base umpire Nic Lentz to a pool reporter:
“The runner has a right to establish his basepath. And so, Clement had established his basepath to avoid the fielder from potential interference. And even though that Henderson reached out for a tag, Clement’s basepath was already established out there going to 2nd base. So therefore, it was not out of the baseline.”
Sure, 4K is nice, but there was nothing like sitting two inches away from one of these sweet bastards while your mother predicted you’d be as blind as Ray Charles by the following Thursday.
Alejandro Kirk: signed for $10k, wasn’t a prospect, best catcher in the AL
Adley Rutschman: first overall pick, biggest fall off in MLB history, worst catcher in the AL, dog shit
The Red Sox have sent Brayan Bello to Triple-A after he allowed six runs in the first inning today, per multiple reports.
Bello has a 6.34 ERA and 1.67 WHIP in 61 IP for Boston this season.
Taylor Ward and Rico Garcia are the big trade pieces @JeffPassan mentions in his trade deadline preview
The Orioles are 1.5 games back of the AL Wild Card, should they consider selling these two or keep them for a playoff push? #Birdland
May 25, the Os were 21-29, 13 back of the Rays.
A little over a week later and With a win tonight, your beloved Os would be 31-32, and 7.5 games back.
Time for me grab the dog, head to Patterson Park, and tune into @BrettHollander and @joshlewinstuff and hear their call!
This is the only known instance in the history of Major League Baseball in which a four-base error occurred in which the ball went over the fence, and it’s very possible it could happen again if the play tonight is appealed.
The fact that it would be the second time to happen in history, and both times the outfielder is Joe Adell, is unfathomable.
