If you're not reading the GDT, you missed absolute peak Matheney.

DurosKlav posted:

Reds had runner on first and third and 1 out I believe. Ball was hit into foul territory and Piscotty caught it up against the wall in foul territory which allowed the runner at third to tag up and score. But it turned out he more or less trapped it against the wall. So Matheny challenged the out call, it was overturned and ruled a foul ball so runner had to return to third. Wainwright then walks the batter to load the bases up and Scooter comes up and hits a grand slam.

Matheny is pure garbage.

A city that was to live by night after the wilderness had passed. A city that was to forge out of steel and blood-red neon its own peculiar wilderness.

quote:

Boston Red Sox broadcaster Jerry Remy took bizarre exception to Yankees pitcher Masahiro Tanaka being visited by Japanese translator Shingo Horie and pitching coach Larry Rothschild in the fourth inning of Tuesday’s game.

“I don’t think that should be legal,” Remy said. “I really don’t.”

“What is it you don’t like about that?” asked Dave O’Brien, Remy’s partner in the booth.

“Learn baseball language. You know, learn—it’s pretty simple,” Remy said. “You break it down pretty easy between pitching coach and pitcher after a long period of time.”

“I would say that probably, you know, they’re concerned about nuance being lost in some of these conversations,” O’Brien responded, trying to steer the discussion back to more inclusive ground.


this is america speak baseball damnit.

I assume he means English, but I'm just hoping he's referring to some kind of baseball universal language that being a non-baseball person I just haven't picked up on

Puig struck out to end the game against the Nationals's Koda Glover and Glover took exception to Puig staring at him and yelled something toward him, in which Puig walked toward the mound.

Look forward to more posturing in tomorrow's game.

I'm shocked that Machado isn't doing so well, as one of the young faces of the game, but I love the enthusiasm for Sano. Who doesn't love a beefy third baseman who mashes taters? I guess, when you stick evidence in front of fan voters, people actually pay some attention?

I'd be willing to give him way too much money in an extension solely because he might have a chance to break that record.

Trade everyone else off though.

reds fans, that's scooter gennett in a nutshell. a frustrating flawed player who will occasionally go on streaks of brilliance that make you think "maybe he's putting it together" but then nope he's still just a man who goes by the name of a muppet baby (really).
