There's been some wild extra inning games in baseball tonight.
 
Red Sox beat the Rays 6-5 in 12. It was tied at 3 at of 9 in that one.
 
Diamondbacks and Rockies are currently tied at 7 in the 13th. It was tied at 5 at the end of 9 in that one.

Diamondbacks beat the Rockies 10-8 in 13 innings after the game was tied at 5 at the end of 9. Diamondbacks pitcher Matt Peacock became the first pitcher since 1945 to make his MLB debut in extra innings of a game, get the win and record a hit. He also scored a run.

We're watching the Cardinals game, which is completely settled. It's 7-0 in the 9th.

A hitter comes up and hits the ball right at the second baseman...BUT!

St. Louis has done a shift and has nobody on defense between first and second base. So, it's a single.

The camera catches the pitcher, Hicks, just shooting daggers into the dugout with his eyes. It was priceless.

If we're going to talk about terrible balls and strikes, let's hear from the literal worst:

 

 

He was just showing the league why he should be an ump in the World Series and there’s no reason to discriminate against him

Best thing he ever did in Texas was the Batista fight. 

There was no place for him on the roster and his play and average have been declining steadily over the last several years.  I checked into the prospects and they are just minor league bodies in A ball not making any headway so far. 

The crazy part is you guys paid his entire $12M salary.

Yes we did. If you want someone off your team bad enough, sometimes you have to make decisions that are costly.  The only thing that says to me they must've seen something in one of the two prospects.

Quick story: The Rangers in 2000 traded Esteban Loaiza to the Blue Jays for Darin Cubillan and PLAYER TO BE NAMED. on that player to be named list was Michael Young and Robinson Cano. They chose Young over Cano. Both potential HOFers.  My point is they weren't so highly rated then, so you really never know what you might get in a player. Shelling out $12 million?  Do the Rangers know something we don't know? Maybe?

You got your fact wrong. Robinson Cano signed the Yankees as an amateur free agent and has never been a member of the Blue Jays.

My bad on Cano and the Blue Jays (the blue Jays was with the Michael Young Trade like I said, it was when the Rangers traded Alex Rodriguez in 2004, they got Soriano and a player to be named from the list the Yankees provided to the Rangers, On that player to be named list was Cano and Joaquin Arias, the Rangers chose Arias...:lol:

That’s a pretty big oops!!

Mets just won on a walkoff HBP against Miami. Conforto threw his elbow out and it barely nicked his guard and went into the catchers glove. The pitch was literally a strike and Conforto thrust his elbow out into it. Umpires let it stand. Even the Mets broadcasters were upset they let it stand.

MLB said the replay ump confirmed he was hit but intent to move is up to the home ump and nobody else. 

 

 Couldn’t replay person confirm the pitch was in the strike zone when it hit him and then ump call him out?
