I hope you’re not saying you became disinterested,

Sorry to disappoint, but I live in Denver and am a Rockies fan. I’ve only been to Miller Park when the roof was open and had a great time. I suppose if the roof had been closed (which I believe only happens when it rains?) it would have been a different experience.

You left out the obvious deduction that Bayatpour seethingly resents Jordan for dating his coworker Anderson, and all it took was ballpark beers and this bulldog bullshit for this to come to a head. Bayatpour always wanted an excuse to beat down that annoying prick from the NBC stations who’s sleeping with that hot…

It’s an excellent ballpark. They do almost everything right there, except keeping local reporters from fighting.

My buddys and I do a baseball trip every summer. Last year we went to Milwaukee. It was a great time. The ballpark is pretty nice, and you don’t have to worry about a rainout. Many of the downtown bars offer free shuttles to Brewers games, which is pretty great deal.

She felt British. Yet... with corn rows.

False. Miller Park is good.

Maybe she has breathing problems?

This is a bad take. Brewers’ games are actually pretty great. The city always supports the team through the good and bad. Thousands of fans fill the parking lots for pre-game tailgating, and Miller Park is a cool stadium.

Out of all the characters in this story, I think I like the bulldog the most.

He said he thought Anderson looked disinterested.

Ever been?

I’ve read this story three times and I still can’t figure out what the fuck is going on. I’m just going to assume that all three of these people are probably assholes.

Ahh, legal / illegal slides. The blue / gold dress of baseball.

Arenado today showed why if you’re going to go at the mound, go at it full steam. He chased Predomo off the mound, swinging as he went, piss-ant glove throws be damned. Kelly here motions Austin to the mound, Austin looks half-hearted through the whole thing, giving Kelly the chance to dodge him and get in a couple…

“There’s not an individual moment here that’s quite as strong as Freddy Galvis’s emphatic glove-toss”

It’s just optics. Nobody wants to be the guy who did’t have their teammates back. Nobody expects the relievers to actually throw down.

Not at all. Once it’s a throw down all’s fair in love and war. But if you go in cleats up, be prepared for a ball coming your way and don’t act surprised or play the victim.

I was just talking today about how silly it is for relievers to run all the way from the bullpen when there is a fight. Like, what are they going to do about it? And as said, it’s all over by the time they get there anyway. Is there just some unwritten baseball code that says they just have to?

the relievers’ dutiful jog in from the bullpen, keeping a respectable distance from the other team’s relief corps, as they all make their way to a fight that they know will inevitably be nearly over by the time they can get there at all.
