That was some ball game. We won it, 2 1/2 to 2, when Mike Kilroy, the pitcher, broke an 11th inning tie.

Setley also voiced his opinion on the recent pitching controversy regarding the first known “curve-ball” pitching.
Every sport gets cancelled and all the awesome stories come out of the woodwork.
Hope he signed with the Brewers, they made their only world series appearance the next season!
Jon Bois’ and Alex Rubenstein’s history of the Seattle Mariners is finally complete. I just finished watching it. What an absolute marvel of storytelling. Just watch it if you haven’t. It’s long, but worth every goddamn minute.

Basesball has the best union of the 4 sports, part 24601:
The owners and players agreed to a deal. Later, the owners decided they didn’t want to pay the players as much as they agreed to. “Tough shit”, said the players.
Decided to spend my sunday night playing MtG Arena and watching baseball on the other monitor. For the full Phillies Experience they lost 11-6 while leaving bases loaded in three different innings. But hey, at least I went 7-2 in the draft I was playing.
Lorenzo Cain clowned the whole Cubs infield, got himself and another guy out of a rundown without anyone getting out:
Oh, sorry. That was the time he did it to them 2 years ago. This was the time he did it this weekend:
Whelp, there have been 14 confirmed cases of Covid-19 among the players and staff of the Miami Marlins. Both the games between the Marlins and Orioles and the Phillies vs. the Yankees (the Phillies being the Marlins previous opponents) have been postponed. MLB is in crisis mode. Season could very likely get cancelled four days in.
Now do Footesballs and Puckices.
The latter probably still has the best chance of continuing. Way fewer teams, players, and staff involved. But we’ll see.
Anyone play blaseball?
I saw tweets about blaseball, now I know what it is! Thanks.
It’s a good thing the Rangers just won the lottery because The Mets are doing a very good impersonation of of The Mets.
You know what I think already. This is pro sports, not a friendly learning game. You play to win the game. If you didn’t want to give up a grand slam, don’t let the bases get loaded in the first place, and get a better pitcher.
