At least in my experience, with #2 it's a man-to-man operation, and you're on the running/pooping/noisy one. Hoping to avoid a third, where you're forced to go zone.

I didn't personally witness it, but Vince Coleman getting eaten by the tarp machine in 1985 bugged seven-year-old me out pretty good.

Yes indeed. Hamilton has ridiculous speed but to provide further context I'd say that at least the top 50 fastest players in MLB could score on a short sacrifice fly hit to Jon Jay. He has one of the worst outfield arms in all of baseball.

Cardinals fan here; reporting in. This was awesome. That is all.

Not "unprepared" but definitely not in the best throwing position and not a perfect strike. He had the best shot to get Hamilton so nobody did anything wrong, but if Jay was a right-hander and that had been on a line, Hamilton is out pretty easily.

To be fair, a John Jay strike best resembles a Tim Wakefield strike.

Breaking News: Yasiel Puig isn't the only young talent in the MLB (see Trout, McCutchen, Harper, ext.) Similarly, Tim Tebow hasn't been the only borderline starter/backup quarterback with overstated political views (see Hasselbeck, Warner, Dilfer, ext.)

Deadspin's obsession with Yasiel Puig = ESPN's obsession with Tim Tebow

Very excited about Hamilton, but unless his ability to hit the ball improves, he'll be back in Louisville quicker than he runs the bases.

I'm okay with you saying Susanne is their best song (though it isn't), as long as we can all just agree that Weezer never ever put out an album after Pinkerton.

I don't know, the Christian Conservative community was much more mellow back in 3500 B.C.

Pray with me, Curtis, pray with me!

yelling and banging on Knoblauch's hotel room door to make sure he was there.

After reading this article, I don't really care for this guy!

They're Journalists when they want to be taken seriously, and Bloggers when criticized for lack of standards.

No, it's just a stupid, poorly-written (but possibly effective) headline.

Here journalism = reading reddit. Reposting.

I believe this article assumes, wrongly, that the Gawker media properties (Gawker, Deadspin, Jezebel, et al) participate in journalism.

Sensationalized headlines used to make not-so-life-or-death stories sound like its LITERALLY LIFE OR DEATH is lame click baity garbage used to drive eyes to stories that don't deserve it.

I liked the days when Deadspin remotely kept sports involved in the posts
