If it was Bartolo, you’d know.

Yeah the way they’ve had to drag their asses to even get to the top of the wild card you might celebrate every win

I don’t want to get all Gregg Easterbrook, but is it really OK to break out the googles, champagne and special t-shirts when you’ve just qualified as one of two wild card teams?

Well the person shouldn’t have been on the field, flower or not. Fuck that guy, if it wasn’t Pagan, it would have been a security guard or cop, and for good cause. If you run into my office unexpectedly and acting like an asshole, I might attempt a bodyslam on you. Can’t guarantee it would be effective, but I’d…

I guess I’m just confused about what the Pirates are trying to accomplish by sparking a brawl. Since Dusty Baker managed the Reds, they’ve been doing performative shit like this whenever they got hit. They yell at the umps for calling warnings and not letting them get revenge and then they do it anyway and don’t…

Sorry I’m getting irrationally angry, but defending that play just doesn’t jive for me. Shit, even Kang felt the need to apologize for it. Mostly I’m probably angry that he’s even allowed to play.

Watch the replay... It was backed up, as in not headed to the stands, as in the pitcher was there to catch the errant throw. If it had headed into the stands he would have been awarded home anyway. Maybe you’re new to watching baseball?

You dumbass... Harper was stopping at third no matter what there. Kang’s played didn’t change that at all. The ball was backed up so Harper wasn’t getting another 90 feet on the play. But go ahead and keep supporting your boy. Net you say he shouldn’t be being investigated for assault because that girl was wearing a…

Why say ‘pay attention to the play’ if what was meant was ‘pay attention to the coach’?

Just found video of the fake tag. Definitely a fake tag, and that would get you kicked out of the game in levels at least up to HS ball. Pretty shitty move regardless of the injury to Harper.

If you’re running to third base.. how exactly do you pay attention to the play?

I’m not sure about MLB, but a fake tag isstill an automatic ejection at most levels of play.Positioning yourself like a ball is coming in is not a fake tag. Swiping like you have a ball when you don’t is a fake tag. I didn’t see the play in question, but if all the player did was position himself to catch a ball that…

An example--runner going from 2d to 3d; 3d baseman acts like there is a throw coming, conning the runner into sliding when he could score. It’s a horseshit thing to do & I was taught to pay attention to the base coach, not the fielder. It’s a little league thing--I never thought it would work in MLB...

Harper had hardly been the key to their success this year, and is trying to remember how to hit... can’t really do that onthe bench. For what it’s worth Dusty did rest a bunch of guys today.

the “fake tag” is unsportsmanlike conduct, and in MLB is one of those unwritten rules. When I was a high school umpire years ago, a “fake tag” meant automatic ejection....

But...it is nothing. She’s made a mountain out of a molehill. Hell, I’ve had worse banter than this with the females in my office, and THEY started it. No, this is someone being super touchy and looking for an excuse. The guy apologized, and she still went off on a tirade. I’m not defending apple, or their employees,…

I seriously can’t tell if this article is satire. The woman “Danielle” sounds like a complete narcissist who absolutely refuses to accept a sincere apology multiple times, climbs leaps and bounds above the chain of command to the CEO of the company, gets a month paid leave, and comes back expecting what exactly? Did…

Yeah, it seems like the “victim” either needlessly escalated this situation for no reason. Either that, or this joke was the last straw in a long line of comments/jokes that pushed her over the edge. Hard to tell from this single incident for certain, but I definitely agree that this incident alone wouldn’t seem to…

So the guy apologizes multiple times for the joke and she keeps escalating it? I wouldn’t make a joke like that at work because it isn’t appropriate, but if someone apologizes while stating they will not do it again; it should be over right then. No need to escalate it right to the CEO without going through your…
