Have seen a lot of people saying the Tatis throw shouldn’t have been cutoff last night. As the relay guy you line up in a perfectly straight line between the RF and the catcher. If the throw takes you too much in either direction you know the cut is needed. In this instance the throw took him a little too far to the left meaning the throw would’ve been too far up the line to have a chance. He made the right call to cut and relay it home. This is a perfect visual.

It appears Emmet Sheehan just intentionally kept the first MLB hit ball for Cam Devanney. The team asked for the ball. The umpire threw Sheehan a new ball and he clearly switched it in his glove.

If you don’t like bad language… well… don’t watch this. But here’s a video of Torey Luvollo finding the fan that said something hateful to Ketel Marte yesterday.

Will Bo Bichette hit .300? Maybe Will Bo Bichette hit 25+ homers? Maybe But the HUGE difference he makes for this Mets lineup is he puts the ball in play Less than 2 outs? Runners on 1st/3rd? Elevate the ball to the OF Perfectly executed 1st Mets AB

3-0. Bases loaded. Tie ball game. Bottom of the 9th. This should’ve been called a ball leading to a Dodgers loss minutes after the Padres game went final and won. The NL West should be tied. Instead, onward they play in Anaheim.

Let’s get a couple things straight here on this slide. 1) Going in low/spikes down/hands up is not a “dirty” play 2) The rules state if you can reach out and grab the bag with your hand then it’s fair. You do NOT have to slide straight into the base.

This is hysterical. Scott Shields’ daughter called him and read his own stats to him pretending it was someone else she was asking about 😂

This is insane. A 17 year old high school senior just shattered Aaron Judge’s bat with the bases loaded and got him to ground into an inning ending double player.

Ketel Marte is in tears. Anybody know what it could be about?

This is scary CB Bucknor goes down after being hit with a 100mph foul ball and is removed from the game Hope he’s ok 🙏🏻

This is hilarious. The Milwaukee Brewers are scrimmaging and have their bullpen coach behind the plate umpiring. ABS is up on the scoreboard and he is HEARING it when he misses a call 😂

Oh my gosh that’s in dead Center Field

Yesterday my brother hit 20yrs of service time in MLB I was 13 when he made his debut I went through High school. Became a college athlete. Played 5 years professionally Now I’m 33, getting married soon, and I cover the sport he still plays for a living I’m so proud of him

Shohei Ohtani took BP on the field the night before the World Series 🤯

To all those “you didn’t make it to the big leagues” keyboard warriors. Correct. Wasn’t quite good enough. Faced plenty of big leaguers in the minors though. Including this guy in ST of 2015 who threw me the hardest pitch he threw all day by 4mph.

How on earth do you let Mike Trout beat you… TWICE?!

FAIR or FOUL ball? The MLB rulebook answers…

How many hits is the average fan getting off of an MLB pitcher in 100 At-Bats?

This gives me chills, man The best hitter in baseball when his team was absolutely DESPERATE just hit a 100mph pitch WAY in off the plate and up off the LF Foul Pole WHAT?!?

This is awesome. Clemson baseball has a tradition of players going up in the stands during the 4th inning to shake hands with Veterans. Today, on opening day, the Army baseball team joined in with them Clemson Baseball 🤝 Army Baseball

This was clearly not a balk. Yet, it was called a balk and the go-ahead run comes home. It was the first balk in the career of Ryne Stanek.

This is awesome. In the final regular season start of his career, Clayton Kershaw was just removed from the game by Freddie Freeman Baseball, man ❤️

Let’s just say the Braves and Red Sox pairing is having fun today 😂 Smoltz scared Kevin Millar coming through the tunnel

Lost my cardboard. Stuck the landing. LLWS hill ✅

6ft to 5ft 9 is CRAZY 😂

This guy is always so negative. Ronald Acuña Jr. signed and took photographs with kids literally moments before he went up for the 1st pitch of the game. Yet you want to complain about how he rounds the bases? Growing the game and having fun doing it. Stop being so miserable.
