Pablo Sandoval hit a walk off home run for the San Francisco Giants to save them from losing 99 games on the year what the gently caress even was this season

Announcers in the Dodger game said Pablo's walkoff dong cost them the first-round draft pick. Not as huge of a deal in baseball as other sports but still... what a season for the Giants

What's hilarious is the Giants and Tigers were in a battle for the #1 pick. The Giants had late game heroics, the Tigers played Romine at nine different positions.

Gallant baseball team continues to play hard and win the game even if its not in their best interest. Goofus baseball team just says gently caress it, let's make a utility player play all nine positions in a single game for no loving reason. e: drat, didn't even realize Tigers had the worst record until now. Thought we were at least doing better than the Phillies. Whelp, let the great tank begin

Granted since the season started they dealt away Avila, Verlander, Upton, Martinez, and Wilson, but still.. Haha there hasn't been much talent on that roster for about two months now.

In conclusion gently caress the Texas Rangers.

Speaking of teams and breaking records, the Indians finished the season with 10.06 K/9 as a team, which makes them the first team ever to finish with a K/9 at ten or higher.

Giants have never had the first overall pick, and won't in 2018 either. I'm fine with the number two pick. I don't believe the number one pick is particularly important in baseball, and the Giants have done well in the recent past picking in the top ten (Lincecum, Bumgarner, Posey). Plus the fact that 2018's draft order was decided by Pablo Sandoval coming back to the Giants and hitting a walk-off bomb is funny to me.

I just saw that Ned Yost defensively substituted for all of the Royals free agents in the last game of the season so they could get an ovation walking off. Jesus Christ that doesn't bode well, not that I expected to sign any of them (and Hosmer is not at all worth it at his asking price). The Royals are going to be straight up awful next year, but I guess that isn't really news.

10 years, 200 million. e: + that is, 200 mill+ I guess 20 million per might be worth it in some eyes? I'm out of touch with baseball contracts. But the length of the deal he wants, even if it comes down to 7 or 8 years, is a non-starter as far as I'm concerned. Grittybeard fucked around with this message at 05:47 on Oct 2, 2017 |

Remember the little girl who got drilled with the foul ball? https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/01/sports/baseball/yankee-stadium-netting-foul-ball.html?smid=tw-nytsports&smtyp=cur&_r=1 quote:In his recollection of the episode, the father, Geoffrey Jacobson, described the horror of walking into a hospital room to find his daughter, who will turn 2 this week, connected to tubes and machines. Her eyes were swollen shut, she had multiple facial fractures — including those of her orbital bone and nose — and doctors were monitoring the bleeding on her brain, fearing that it might lead to seizures.
