hey shouldn't he be kicked out for reaching over the wall since that ball was going to bounce off it

Considering MLB apparently can't scrape together enough security to keep the players families safe, I doubt they have enough to eject annoying ball hawks.

Reading comments on the stories (I know, I know), I thought Yadi was supposedly just a crybaby who should have hired a private army to protect his family from his overinflated salary.

I like how the pitcher started walking back towards the dugout, and even he couldn't believe it when that got called strike three :allears:

On the one I read they also interviewed Baez and he seemed more annoyed that his manager told him to go back to the dugout instead of letting him jump into the brawl Malice at the Palace style to protect his family.

I looked him up earlier when they mentioned he's going to get to 3k hits this year and he has a really weird career stat-wise. Or distribution of stats or something?

Been playing major league ball since he was 19 but aside from one legitimately amazing season at 25 he just never truly put everything together until he was 31.

But even during his "down" years, Beltre was still fantastic defensively. Hell, he was pretty great last year

Yadier is helping but I would lean more towards the bad umping. There have been some pretty bad calls.

As somebody who has to watch Yadi steal strikes against the Cubs 19 times a year, this is a really terrible strike zone.
