I haven’t seen any other angles yet, but the ball did seem to take a bizarre bounce in RF. Maybe something with the way it was hit...pitch elevation, point of contact, etc.From first glance looks like it had some serious left-English on it.

No.

Franmil Reyes is a fucking BEAST. Not sure why I’m seeing sites listing him as an also-ran - or, even worse, omitting him entirely from the story. In 2 years he will likely be THE name from this deal.

IF, and ONLY if, the woman is okay...(suppose that’s quite relative here)...

THIS is the insight that gets results.

Bravo. Right-wing hypocrisy currently at an all time high.

The Washington Anthem Standers.

How does Craig Kimbrel keep getting work?

Umm, Todd Gurley doesn’t like dogs...

Japan winning on fair play is frustrating.

Exactly. Everyone points to flopping as back-pocket ammo for why they don’t like soccer, but it’s in just about every sport.

This is...an incorrect statement. He’s not of the Joey Gallo/Chris Davis mold. He gets plenty of hits on balls that don’t leave the park, and regularly has an avg within shouting distance of .300. It’s more a sense of “when he makes an out, more often than not it’s on strikes.”

80-grade sound off the bat..

Disagree with the the disagreement. Before the new format, a 95+ win team would occasionally miss the playoffs entirely. Other times, a 95+ win wild card team could just say “nah, we’re in, no need to push for the division crown”.

It was a dumb thing to say, but I’m buying the “no intent” thing here. Seems like a genuine mistake, and, as far as racially-offensive phrases go, I’d imagine this is *relatively* low on the spectrum. It’s more of a ubiquitous term with subtle racial connotations, vs outright dogwhistle.

Judge has been, quietly, not bad at all. He’s hitting .289 with 8/2/7 and has a 7 game hit streak. Yeah, Didi is the MVP so far, but at least Judge is chipping in..

Let’s be careful of setting a precedent here. If a period piece about 12 year-old boys in the 60's doing dumb things is now reprehensible, misogynistic propaganda, I think our collective PC scorn is missing the target.

I’ve never understood the hate on Gruden as a color analyst. He knows the game very well, and I’ve always found him to an amiable character. His excitement is palpable and genuine.

Whoa whoa whoa — George Steinbrenner once called a guy a fat toad. George Steinbrenner later died.

Why, what’s wrong with the sweater?
