Never seen that called for what the 3rd baseman did on the play.

The way you explain it is, if the ball gets cut from the first baseman, you have to be there to make a play. And [third-base umpire Tripp Gibson] felt that I wasn't far enough away," Muncy said. "He felt that I was purposely doing it, and he felt that I made a conscious effort to stand in the way. Every third baseman in the league does that. Never seen it called, and it was actually called twice tonight."

Apparently the same ump made the same call against the Mets last night

Did the ump have money on the game? What the hell.

By rule it could be the right call but everyone does it and it never gets called. In this case you can see Muncy purposely move in the line of site and he also got in the way of the umpires line of site so it made it obvious what he was doing.

I am shocked it was called since every 3B usually does this to some degree

Marcello Mayer got the call-up? Starting the 2nd of a DH today. Might as well against Balt pitching and defense.

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

It looks like it will replace Tom Seaver for Doug Flynn/Pat Zachary/Steve Henderson.

I am always scared to death when Jose Ramirez comes to the plate in a close game. It reminds me of how I felt back in the day when George Brett came to the plate.

Tarik Skubal with a masterful complete game shutout against the Guardians. Allowed only 2 hits, no walks, 13 strikeouts and only needed 94 pitches (only 22 balls). His finished it off with a 103 mph heater.

For those of you that do in-game betting, Baltimore is up 3-0 in the 6th. Hop on the Sox, boys!
