“I will say that Indiana could have done better than they did,” said a smug Gilbert.guy who just signed Derrick Rose and no it is not 2010 in case you were wondering.

The smart ones take off their socks and go all the way to 20

Thats what the on deck circle is for though lol, the only argument he justifiably could have had is if Beltre was in the peripheral of the pitcher and was screwing him up or distracting him. I don’t think the pitcher complained though so its just he ump being a lug head. 

Wow thats a pretty elite list right there, plus if you add in the entertainment factor Beltre is an absolute lock. Guy plays the game, yes game, the way it should be played. You have guys treating baseball, that is primarily played by 12 year olds like some kind sacred art form where laughing and smiling is frowned…

Just want to put out the list of guys with 3,000 hits/450 HRs

Come on now, Gerry did the right thing here. The rule in this situation is very clear, and so he had no choice but to enforce it: moving the on-deck circle is a union job.

I look forward to his induction speech, when Elvis Andrus sneaks on stage and touches his head, and Beltre freaks the fuck out.

No one moved the on deck circle back to its original spot after the ejection. So Ranger players went to that on deck circle past Beltre and no umps complained. Fucking stupid. I hope they all get replaced by robots sooner rather than later.

Gerry Davis needs a goddamn tailor. Those pants are at his nipples.

Doesn’t the NIH know that the NFL doesn’t believe in guaranteed contracts?

Not code, he said he is going to meet with his past whore tonight too.

To be fair Jesus hung out with prostitutes too.

I think USA Today misquoted him on his evening plans; he was referring to a previous escort, or ‘past whore’.

this does, however, bring me closer to my dream of somebody batflipping on something super mundane. a bat flip on an infield fly would be incredible.

“Johnson is no saint; he’s a defense lawyer.”

This. I’m a police officer who has arrested some really bad people. They were totally guilty. And I defend and respect the right of the accused to have a defense attorney, even when they are dead to rights guilty.

“… He also wanted the university to pay nearly $400,000 of the legal fees of the football player…”

Johnson is no saint; he’s a defense lawyer.

“Johnson is no saint; he’s a defense lawyer.”

Curious how, in support of the “he’s no saint” assertion, you first cite his livelihood as a defense lawyer, then the fact that a secretary sued him for unwanted touching, as though they’re in any way comparable. Presumably Deadspin supports everyone’s right to an attorney, no matter their crimes?
