Did Leyland just forget Goldschmidt is on his team or something?

Maybe he thinks Goldschmidt is a defensive replacement.

I mean he seems to think Stanton, Crawford, and Posey belong at the bottom of the order...

Goldschmidt would have been safe :colbert:

See article quoted above. I think they are so similar in speed you can't really say that. Would Goldschmidt have been safe because he would have actually hit the baseball? Pobably. Not because he is faster though.

Chicago broadcast just had a "please like us, we're a real baseball team" ad for the White Sox. Poor Sox, even in 05 they weren't really considered the team of the city.

He was on it, you can see his toe drop off after he already has the ball.

Also, Crawford should go back to his usual friggin' mitt.

The catcher throws to 1B on a stikeout. Is that a thing in Japan?

I'd swear that's a thing in MLB for certain catchers too but I've never actively had my brain tuned in to notice or question it.
