You basically can't do that play above little league

Josh Bell definitely not doing his Keith Hernandez imitation.
David

Oh, the ghost runner is a thing.
Matt Martell

Third base coach sent him. Woof

PICKLE? it looked like a pickle on the mlb pin-movers

WTF was rabelo doing
Matt Martell

He wanted to set up the Michael A. Taylor Game, duh!

Davis was like three steps from third by the time Bell was throwing
5 Run Homer
7:01
Even Davis didn’t look sure about that send

Thunderstomps To Nowhere: 40+ HR, 8+ WAR, less than 2.5 RBI:HR ratio, team misses the playoffs. Mike Trout has two, Troy Glaus (another Angel) has one from 2000, Alex Rodriguez has one from 2005.  With a healthy season Trout could have as many TTN's as MVP's.

Thank you for your service, Tim Tebow’s Thunder Thighs!
5 Run Homer

This is not the best infield defence I’ve ever seen
Davy Andrews
7:04
But it is some of the tallest.
Black and Orange

If you got to choose your Manfred Man, who would be the player in the league least likely to get picked? is is pure sprint speed or does baseruns capture that better?
Davy Andrews
7:06
In that case, I think you're just trying to avoid the absolute slowest person, so...maybe Salvy?
Matt Martell
7:08
Giancarlo Stanton is a close second I think
David
7:09
Ty France deserves a mention, my god he looked so slow last year.
Davy Andrews
7:09
I know he was dealing with an injury, though I don't recall whether it was one that would affect his footspeed.
Davy Andrews
7:09
Wow, defensive wizard Josh Bell.
RTJ
7:12
are we as mad about this review as the Miami color commentator?
Matt Martell
7:14
Maybe if it were overturned, but he was mad at the audacity of the Pirates for even challenging the call!

This blocking the plate rule is gonna be a pain in the ass this whole year isn't it
Nat

I kinda like that for a catcher: he prevents thefts
so the Marlins are wearing ADT patches this year, I guess
Davy Andrews
7:15
To the bottom of the eleventh inning we go!
KC Pain
7:15
Bo Naylor not starting tonight 🙄
RTJ
7:17
more like No Baylor, amirite? [pause for laughter]
Davy Andrews
7:19
Twelve!
Brian

Cerci blew up the sept of Baylor years ago!
Davy Andrews
7:19
That's what you get for hitting the ball to Hayes.
Brian

Lefty pitcher KC... Bo is always going to split time with Hedges for some reason!?!?!?

Glasnow didn't throw many sinkers, but the ones he did looked good! Just one more weapon against righties for him.
KC Pain
7:22
@RTJ *hits laugh track button* I got you dawg
Sad Angels Fan
7:23
Do flyball-hitting teams perform better that groundball teams in extra innings with the Manfred runner because of more frequent sac-fly opportunities?
AvatarDan Szymborski
7:23
I would think there are not enough games for that to be anything but noisy7
Davy Andrews

Fun Fact: Anything But Noisy is the name of Dan's acoustic album.

As we go to the 12th inning in today's Pirates vs Marlins game, let us remember the 16 inning marathon featuring the Blue Jays at Cleveland in 2012, the longest opening day game in history. With the Manfred runner we may never see that again.
Nat
7:24
Declan Cronin is a Marlin but i feel like that name could belong to a pirate. Also he's dealing in relief
5 Run Homer
7:25
What on earth is going on with these infielders
