Go back 25 years and a player would never get on fire like Steph without being clotheslined at half court by some goon from the bench just to make him a little less happy, and more nervous.

There’s “playing the game the right way” and “playing the game the wrong way”. AJ didn’t “play the game the right way”, he “played the game the wrong way” to the people who enjoy to see athletes “play the game the right way” but he went about “playing the game the wrong way” all wrong in the eyes of fans and Deadspin…

How dare he slap home plate!

Because his face is “punchable”. AKA Tim Marchman is a middle schooler.

Not as convincing as when he deked Mets fans into thinking he was going to catch that ground ball in Game 4.

The results must be tainted if they do not align with the general sentiment of the Deadspin comment section! Everyone is surely offended by this term.

Thanks, let's do this again in 6 months.

If that’s what it takes to help you feel like this was worth it, ok.

This is what we call a false equivalence.

Pardon my French, but WHY THE FUCK IS THERE EVEN SUCH A THING AS A HOME PLATE UMP WHEN A CAMERA AND COMPUTER CAN DO A BETTER GODDAMN JOB WITHOUT THE BULLSHIT?!

The key component of the test is what he tested positive for because it was a survey test for drugs that were going to be illegal under the new drug agreement. At the time many of those drugs, anything you could buy over the counter, was legal to take. But it creates I nice narrative.

I’m no Boston homer, but I simply can’t believe that is accurate. I know it’s not where the catcher catches it, but his glove was on the dirt and at least a foot wide of the plate. No pitch breaks that much to be a strike.

looks like they’re pretty livid about pitch #6, which is a called strike and is really low. Do you have a different video that shows us that #5 is the pitch they’re mad about?

Which is what you would do if it were your alma mater.

I am a Pennsylvania resident and the amount of denial and angst from the Joe Paterno faithful is truly sad and frustrating.
