I'm fascinated by the lunatic in the stands at Citi Field watching the Mets play. He's in the back row on the aisle directly behind home plate.

When the Pirates are batting, he points at the Mets pitcher until he delivers the ball. If it's a strike, he raises his fist in triumph. A ball, he waves it away.

I wonder if he's there every game.

is it that max wiener guy? guy dresses like he found a drag ensemble on the street.

No, he was in a red windbreaker (or light jacket). He looked like your everyday captain of industry sitting alongside his longsuffering wife.

I'll be watching again tonight to see if he's a regular.

Jackson and Rose HOF eligible

I'm all right with it provided their cheating/betting on baseball is one of the first sentences on their respective busks.

I'm all right with it provided their cheating/betting on baseball is one of the first sentence on their respective busks.

And they promise to never, ever do it again.

This was my solution all along. The HOF is supposed to be a history of the game to some extent with a highlighting of the best of the best. What Rose & Jackson (maybe) did is part of the history. You could easily have put them in with the story of why they were banned from the game on their plaque.

Not dead enough.

He's there again. Same seat, same red jacket.

But ... he's not doing the finger pointing thing. It's a mystery. Maybe he doesn't like Japanese pitchers (Senga)? Maybe he's related to Peterson, last night's starter.

I'm shuked.

Now that the ban has been lifted, the White Sox can send Shoeless Joe, Eddie Cicotte, Buck Weaver and Happy Felsch to extended spring training for potential callups in June.

Did you get video?

What happened to that lawyer who had season tickets to the Rays and would pick an underperforming or overrated type player from an opposing team and when that player would come to the plate -- hell, while he was on-deck for that matter -- he'd just rail on the guy. It was loud and that stadium's acoustics only enhanced his cause. You could hear it in the broadcast. Every plate appearance, he'd pull out some statistical shortcomings, inflated salary, whatever he could dig up prior, and he'd set up shop and just unload on the guy all game long.

I think the Tampa organization sent him a letter or something to get him to stop, but he was like no, there's nothing you can do, these are my rights and I need this.

It wasn't Capella, someone else.

shoeless joe literally hit .375 with a .956 OPS over the eight games and didn’t make an error that post season, helluva a way to throw it

I used to love baseball so much. Eight Men Out was a tough watch. Good for Shoeless Joe. His punishment was unjust.

read about him….there was a discrepancy in his stats in games they won and lost. also, a bunch of triples hit to his LF position. this is still up for debate. still don’t understand why field of dreams had him hitting RH.

Dodgers are calling up their top prospect Dalton Rushing and DFAing Austin Barnes. A little surprised with Barnes being the one sent down, but I guess it makes sense when figuring out what Rushing’s spot will be.

Barnes has been better recently than he has for a while, but he still sucks. By batting Ohtani leadoff, they have given up a lot of RBI chances in favor of him getting 5 abs a game, with the expectation that the 7-9 hitters will get on base. Roberts plays the backup catcher twice a week, so that's a lot of missed opportunities when you have Conforto batting .140 and playing almost every day. Rushing has also been playing some left field in the minors, so if he's hitting they'll work him into the lineup.

Barnes airmailed two balls into center trying to prevent stolen bases the other day. If he can't provide solid defense, he's useless.

The Orioles have fired manager Brandon Hyde.

Well, that's one way to shore up pitching....

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Well, that's one way to shore up pitching....

Right?

I don't think Hyde was a great tactical manager during games and some of his lineup decisions left me scratching my head.

But he wasn't the person who made the call on which pitchers they would (wouldn't) acquire. It's not his fault that Grayson Rodriguez and Kyle Bradish get hurt every time the wind shifts direction.

I thought they'd have to win a bunch of 7-5 games this season. But I didn't think the hitters would all forget how to.....well.....hit.

A lot of Orioles fans are already calling for Mike Elias' head.

Yeah it won’t last much longer.

The Orioles have fired manager Brandon Hyde.

As a Cubs homer I will always be appreciative for Brandon Hyde and his contributions to the 2016 team. He was a glue guy.

When Joe Maddon was hired the only coach Theo/Jed would not allow him to replace was Hyde.

Kershaw making his first start of the season today. 32 K's from 3000. Hope he stays healthy enough to get there.

Already down 6-0 after one. So, uh, I guess not the manager.

There is a player in the Twins system at St Paul named Carson Mckusker. You can't call him a prospect because he is 26 years old and was signed by the Twins out of Indy Ball. He is built like Judge (6'8" 250) and can crush the ball.

Here is a HR from the other night, make sure you have the sound on.

Yes he has a high K%, but it bugs me that the Twins bring all of these "utility players" in that can't hit but can play multiple positions instead of giving players that are crushing the ball a chance to hit in the bigs.

McCusker got the call from the Twins.

Welcome to the show. Try not to swing at everything.

Seattle in San Diego for the Vedder Cup. Great cause, lot of money going to "Butterfly Disease" (Epidermolysis bullosa), a rare, brutal skin disease.

Rivalry weekend in full effect.
Can someone explain why Atlanta is playing Boston? Is it simply a Braves thing? I get the "subway series" but Boston v NYY is a more serious rivalry, no?

After tonight, he has the most Ks ever at one ballpark (Dodger Stadium) with 1,616, passing Steve Carlton who had 1,615 at Veterans Stadium.

 

[Snoopy]

Colder than a Brewers bat, if that's possible.

It is most likely because the Atlanta Braves started as the Boston Braves and were in Boston until 1953. Then they moved to Milwaukee and were there for 13 years. Then moved to Atlanta in 1966

 

[FairWarning]

The Javy Baez for PCA trade is one the Mets will regret for a very long time.

It’s exactly that and it keeps the scheduling easier because the rivalry games stay within the divisions, e.g., East vs. East

I doubt they bring back the interim manager next year unless they go on something like a 32-5 streak to get back into contention & they stay there (that ain't happening). I wonder what they'll do there next year.

They just look broken. I don't know what's happened to Adley, but he looks lost at the plate. The pitching has been horrific. Their fielding is awful. Every FA signing has been a bust.
