Don't throw a batting practice fastball 3-0. How about that? How about throw some strikes period.

Is he supposed to take there, then jack one out 3-1?

Like it or not, there are individual stats on the line here too, that kid is gonna see less and less good pitches to hit, so, I don't blame him for taking a hack when the guys has to throw him a strike.

Baseball's "unwritten rules" seem to have been crafted by a 10 year old kid with a short fuse, who can't deal with defeat.

Only a child throws a ball at your head because you hurt his feelings.

But they were ahead by 7 runs! Oh wait, the Phillies just blew a 7 run lead and lost last night.

"Baseball" need to grow a pair and STFU. It's not your opponents' job to make sure you don't feel embarrassed.

I was going to mention that a 7 run lead with 6 outs left, while it shouldn't be a problem, sometimes it is. Other guys get a GS in the bottom of the inning and presto change-o you're in a save situation, when you were in let my long reliever get some work and get out if here saving my premium bullpen arm mode.

60 games... They all matter... You have to think about tomorrow in this kind of season too.

The Tigers just put up a 7 spot on the Indians in the 4th last night to go up 7-5. The entire rally took about 4 minutes.

Baseball's unwritten rules are horseshit. Plain and simple. If you're a pitcher and throw at a guy because somebody hit a grand slam up 7 runs then you should do one of two things, Either make a better pitch, or save the hitter the embarrassment of under performing and just walk off the field and quit. Until they put in a "mercy rule." play the game the way its supposed to be played.

Lucas Giolito no hits the Pirates and no one was there to see it.

And Eloy Jimenez gets hurt in the celebration

Of course he did. Guess who has him in our league?

That poor bastard has been cursed like the rest of them.

Mel Allen on This Week in Baseball. Watched that with my granddad on many occasions. In the 70s it was that and your local paper to see what was happening throughout the league.

Baseball is a crazy game.

Also, still in awe imagining the stream of obscenities coming from Pinella while in that much pain.

One good thing, well 2 actually, about MLB being back this year: Lilly from AT&T and her fantastic cans are on almost every commercial break.

The back story is great. Not a single player got ejected. Shit, these days half of both teams would get suspended for six games.

I don't remember seeing this on TWIB. This is the kind of stuff you missed if these weren't your local teams.

Hrabosky was an absolute dick, btw. Hated that clown even as a kid.
