Oh and the injury list continues to grow for the Nats, Werth broke his wrist trying to make a sliding catch. I think that guarantees that Harper will not be demoted...

Plenty going on in that game. Nice to see him steal home to get his own back on Hammels. And good to see Zimmerman get Hammels back on his first turn at bat. Strange seeing Hammels coming out and saying he deliberately hit him too. Will he get a suspension for that?

Suspension? He should get a medal

Meh. This is the only suspension Philadelphians care about right now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=px7X8lQ7azY. Baseball season hasn't started yet in that city. Off-topic but great hit!

Really looking forward to the Rangers Angels series this weekend and especially Yu Darish going against CJ Wilson tonight. It's on a bit late so will watch tmw but I can't wait to see Josh Hamilton in the form he's in going against Wilson and Darvish against Pujols

EDIT - Well that was a bit of a letdown. Game basically over after the 1st

Did anyone see Brett Lawrie hitting the Ump with his helmet last night (via a deflection off the ground)? It's one of the first times I've thought to myself "wow, that's really really low" when watching baseball. Then the Ump was hit by a drink from the crowd. It's like something you would see at a GAA match.

Also, pretty interesting to see the face off between Collins and Wright after Wright was removed to stop him being plunked.

Don't forget Strasburg having something hot going on in his 'sensitive area'. Definitely an interesting day yesterday.

Re the Wright/Collins thing, I've probably said it before but there's a great book called the Baseball Codes by Jason Turbo and Michale Duca that's goes into the unwritten rules and etiquette in baseball and explains when and why people are thrown at and what you are/aren't allowed do. It's well worth a read.

How far off home plate was that strike 3 to Lawrie by the way? That was definitely only called because he was half way down to first on the previous pitch. Just announced that he's got 4 games which is less than I thought he'd get

Two bad calls by the ump for sure but we see terrible calls everyday and players for the most part manage to keep their cool. And they're appealing! Ridiculous.

MoyVilla9 · 19-05-2012, 14:05

Nearly seen my first No-no live last night, but it wasn't to be. Verlander let a hit with just two outs to go.

Andy Pettitte for the Yankees was really sharp last night too.

Seattle Mariners are doing a little better this year.

I'm almost too afraid to post.

We weren't looking too bad around this time last year either and then the wheels fell off

But at least they're showing lots of promise. Good win last night, getting to the Rangers and Darvish. Also loved Felix's exchange with Beltre

Yup. I'm still not giving them my full attention. We havent been to a game yet this year either.

Too many years of turning on the TV night after night to see them losing.

I think thats possible...

I posted here in baseball about two years ago and the season just went downhill from there.

Except last year I was apathetic and they still sucked.

**jack presley** · 22-05-2012, 22:34

I've been to 16 MLB games and 1 minor league game in my time yet never caught a ball. I even went in to batting practice a couple of times and still nothing (thought it would be a bid sad looking if an adult starting knocking kids out of the way to get a ball).

Then this guy comes along
