Torii Hunter robbing homers two years in a row mattered a lot to me

I have no connection to Torii Hunter's teams

Hoskins home run is more memorable because of the spike.  Expectancy be damned, people remember theatrics

I mean, STL won a Series with 83 wins. That's probably more improbable

Is there any debate that Bo was better as a football player?
AvatarAlex Sonty
11:20
No, but he was a more valuable baseball player because RBs don;'t really matter
AvatarDan Szymborski
11:20
He was more skilled as a football player
11:21
I think Bo is the closest anyone's come to being a star just on pure athletic talent
He almost brute-forced his was there

It's 'Stotch" but that still made me laugh

I know, but there's no Stotch!

This is one of the best games in which I had no rooting interest I've ever watched .

I was at the Bo Jackson 3 homer / Deion Sanders inside the park homer game.
AvatarAlex Sonty
11:24
I don't believe one can simultaneously play two sports like that and not suffer at both. And Deion was maybe the best cover corner of all-time, he was that great.

I have plenty of stotch left!  ...oh, wait.

The 1914 Boston Braves were 15 games out of first place on the 4th of July and a game under ,500 going into August. That was improbable.

Any chance we get throwback unis for one of the games?
AvatarAlex Sonty
11:25
I wanna see a throwback game in each ballpark. Quintessential retro unis from these two.

"Rafael Montero, #3 starting pitcher prospect on the Mets" feels like a lifetime ago.

In terms of moments, I'm sure that Jorge Soler's home run in Game 6 last year is slated to come back to earth any day now.

Yeah, Kyle Tucker is such an obscure player to emerge into stardom finally tonight <eyeroll>

At least Kyle Tucker is hitting 5th in the order this year.

It is just unpossible that the Phillies & Marlins have won the same number of World Series. Since the 1880s!

Was Brian Jordan at that game? Could have been the dual sport guy trifecta
AvatarAlex Sonty
11:31
Jordan was the best baseball player of two-sport guys, I think. Unless I'm forgetting someone at 10:30 p.m.

I'm happy to see Lindor get some promotional stuff, but I hope he gets something cooler than a job search app
Daniel Bardo Pond

Only 11 pitches for Ranger Suarez seems like a decent side session between starts. The stress of a WS bullpen appearance has to count differently though, right? Any chance he's limited a bit in his Monday start?
AvatarDan Szymborski
11:33
I don't think the Phillies have enough arms to have anyone be that limited

Lindor's got that New Balance gig too
AvatarDan Szymborski
11:34
Yeah, but aren't New Balance mostly for doughly uncool middle aged dudes like me?
Or are they in now?

New Balance has a hipster following and everyone's into running these days.

The Rays had a reliever who is now the best pickleball player in the world.  So it might have been a night of 2 sport athletes.  Googleing his name now.
Kent Mercker would have been at that game, and he's now a pickleball world champ.  2 sport athletes all over at that game.     https://www.mlb.com/news/kent-mercker-is-a-pickleball-star
