“Paxton looked on in disbelief at what very much looked like the dinger that would cut his team’s lead down to two.”

“What the fuck? The guy grabs the gun, disarms the wannabe killer and then hugs him? This isn’t the US Amercia we want everyone to live in. It’s not even worth expressing empty thoughts and prayers.”

Defensive Holding!

Same dude that faked an injury in one of the above articles, so that a teammate could get some playing time. Good dude, this guy.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

Reading Yankee fans on Twitter? Was the cheese grater on your junk not getting it done?

I’m willing to sign onto a take that says the Yankees are lazy bastards, but those short infrequent bursts of sprinting make this type of injury more likely, not less.

I’ve noticed a lot of Yankees fans pulling the old “it’s the playoffs you have to play through the pain!” card on twitter. And most of them don’t realize just how painful and debilitating a quad issue is for a person of Giancarlo Stanton’s size

In general, I’m not in favor of make up calls because most applications of them will leave the ump’s fingerprint on the game, even if just subtly.

The final pitch was way too close for Sanchez to argue as much as he did, even if we ignore everything else that happened in that AB. Probably a ball but not exactly shocking it was called a strike.

A half hour after the Astros won the game to even the series at a game apiece, Sanchez was still upset about his final strikeout.

There was 2 outs, he would’ve been allowed to run.

I said this in the other thread, but...

My dudes, you have killed Splinter, you laid off a bunch of cool journalists, I have even stuck with you through your auto-play video ads that kill my YouTube video playing in the background, but if you don’t stop these ads that auto-forward my ipad to some “install flash player now!” website with no back button so I…

There’s also the fact that if Sanchez had run to first instead of making the argument that he tipped it, he might actually have made it, that ball BOUNCED. I guess in the end what he did worked for the time being, but still...

“It’s amazing what can happen when an offense uses its best receiver to receive the ball instead of throw it on trick plays.”

We need to go back to bare knuckle boxing.  All the boxing glove does is protect your hand so you can punch harder and more often.  

Looks like Peterson finally learned not to go for the switch.

He’s really lucky he didn’t get his knee or ankle twisted off on that tackle.

Intercessions are absolutely a key to this matchup. Whoever wins the turnover battle, wins the game.
