Just noticed you're an Oriole fan. Is there just a little bias? Just kidding. He just said in a interview the bat slipped, haha! That's classic. I hope you're not watching MLB network, they just said "playing the game the right way" about 20 times.

No bias. I can't defend that shit. He tried to play it off immediately like it slipped but it looked pretty intentional. Although I agree with Gary Thorne (O's broadcast) I think he might have been trying to throw it at the pitcher.

And MLB Network employsHarold Reynolds and Mitch Williams. They've been known to say some dumb shit haha.

One of my favorite twitter accounts https://twitter.com/HeardOnMLBT

On that point haha: Here is how Mitch Williams thinks the "game is meant to be played."

Noted opponent of data and objectivity, Harold Reynolds weighs in on run differential.

Mitch Williams is for the most part entertaining though. Hey I'm a hypocrite of sorts, I ordered a pitcher to go headhunting because I got spiked. Guys helmet went flying! So for anyone who played for some time they have all done something unsavory.

Usually when you see a player lose his bat on a swing he turns and follows it with his head and eyes and has a look of worry on his face of where it will land and if it will hit anyone. He let go and never turned to see anything. Looked immediately at the pitcher and catcher and started talking. Wish someone would have took a swing and knocked his ass out. That could have easily landed in the stands and hurt a fan/kid.

I was famous for putting Double Bubble bubbles on my teammate's hats before we shook hands with the other team. I was that guy. I tried it at the NCAA Regional one time and someone from ESPN told the kid before I could get him. I was salty.

Don't you miss the wonderful "childish" times of baseball? I was at the Angel game last night and they dunked Trout with the ice bucket and the shaving cream pie! You ever have to grow up. It's fun to watch great athletes hAve fun and act like kids. It's even better if you get to do it yourself. Now I've been reduced to watching and discussing the game while sitting with my chi weenie dog. He's part chihuahua part dauchsand. Boy, how did it get to this?

Kershaw has a no hitter thru 8. 14 Ks. Dumbass Hanley Ramirez threw the ball into the ground in the 7th on a routine chopper. Would had the runner by 2 steps. E6. Perfect game ruined.

(I have Kershaw on my Fantasy team)

That was a sick team. Angelos firing Davey Johnson was one of the all-time worst owner-ego moves of all time.
