Death From Above Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I don't understand why the Pirates ran their club hall of fame during a series with the Blue Jays of all teams. Like, they've been in baseball since damn near the invention of the sport and there may not be a single current major league team they have less history with than the Blue Jays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Quote Minnesota Twins catcher Gary Sanchez was feeling fortunate Sunday after he nearly walked into a major injury. Sanchez was almost struck in the head by a full swing by teammate Gilberto Celestino during Minnesota's 5-1 victory against the Chicago White Sox. The incident occurred when Chicago brought in Kendall Graveman to face Sanchez with two outs in the eighth inning. Sanchez was heading back to the dugout to learn more about the reliever when he was almost hit by Celestino in the on-deck circle. Celestino missed Sanchez's face by mere inches. The incident occurred when Chicago brought in Kendall Graveman to face Sanchez with two outs in the eighth inning. Sanchez was heading back to the dugout to learn more about the reliever when he was almost hit by Celestino in the on-deck circle. Celestino missed Sanchez's face by mere inches. "I had a few minutes to go and ask a couple questions about that pitcher," Sanchez said through an interpreter. "I saw his bat was on his shoulder just standing there in the on-deck circle and so I went back to the dugout and I didn't notice he was swinging." Sanchez lowered his head after the bat passed, and Celestino leaned back with an incredulous look on his face. "He almost hit me, but thank God, nothing happened," Sanchez said. "It's just an accident. It's fine." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Aaron Judge now has 54 HRs. That ties him with A-Rod for most HR by a Yankee since 1961 He is one pace for 65 Side note - for those curious, the Yankees are presenting it as his chase for the franchise record. (Since he can pass Maris and they don’t have to do a messy “real HR record”) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Presumably, to some fans, being the Yankee record holder is more important than being the MLB record holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raziel Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 If they're presenting it as the Yankee record, that's pretty new, as they've been talking about it being the American League record since he hit a pace to break 61. It just so happens that the Franchise and AL record are the same. I don't think anyone's really going to get near 73. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I guess it depends on the broadcast because I’ve definitely seen them throw up graphics that say franchise record. Don’t ask me which broadcast because, similar to Jon Sterling, I’m lucky I’m remembering I watched the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Just wanted to mention that for the last month Joe Maddon has been on a campaign to shit on the Angels and analytics Most recent is this It's full of "you can't tell me what to do if you have never played in the bigs" energy which is amusing coming from a guy who never played in the majors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is somewhat disingenuous: The "blown" lead had more to do with the defending champs catching fire and simply refusing to lose than anything else.
