I've never heard the audio from a confrontation before, that's class. That umpire dealt impressively with the situation.

I've watched it a few times now and I'm more impressed by the umpire each time I watch it (although I've never heard the phrase "ass is in the jackpot" before).

The funny thing is that Mets fans couldn't wait to get rid of Terry Collins but reading Twitter today, he's never been so popular.

2 years old now but the first time I’ve heard it with the audio. Interesting how umpires handle it when managers are having their last little tantrums.

Miggy Cabrera done for the season now too. On a poor team but still disappointing to see another player go down

Angels are denying it now.. Hard to believe anything.. ESPN were reporting it earlier..

As someone who likes baseball and likes watching good baseball players this is disappointing. However as someone who follows a different team in AL West, I'm happy this should help keep Mike Trout's postseason record to a single hit for another year.

Interesting discussion on the ESPN podcast today about his recovery. Considering he’ll be ready to hit before he can pitch, what will they do with his rehab? If he’s in the majors to hit he can’t get rehab starts for pitching in the minors. Not an issue any other side has had to deal with.

Disappointed to read that. It’ll probably be 2020 before he pitches again.

Mariners up to 41 wins - 21 of which have been by a single run.

Tanaka is on the DL cos he ran from 3rd to home on a sac fly. Guess he’s not used to running.

Strasburg and Tanaka to the DL and Syndegaard's stint on the DL to be extended. Not a good 24 hours for some pitchers.

Will be a terrible shame if he needs TJ or is out for a long time.

I’ve often wondered this myself, although not to the level of these guys. I’m in the ‘5 games over’ camp though I think.

I think like McFaddens, you can go in without a ticket for the game although will probably be packed with the Yankees playing. And as you know apart from the 2 bars there's feck all else to see out there if you're not going to the game. Quite dodgy looking area too although I think they're cleaning up the old chop-shop area to the north of the stadium.

Thats good to know. I've have been out that for the tennis aswell although that was back in the day when Shea stadium was still there, there really was nothing out there back then. I had a sneak peak at ticket prices on Stubhub for Saturday & Sunday nights, they are 3-4 times the price of equivalent tickets for Orioles or Nats games

What was the story with the Dodgers today? 9 inning game and they used 9 pitchers.

Strange few weeks for him. Probably thought he had escaped but then got sucked back in again. Plenty of air miles anyway.

At least he had a sense of humour about it

This month will tell us if the mariners can be a playoff team or not,with series against the Astros,Angels,Yankees and Red sox.We will need to up it a bit offensively but I am happy with where this team is at tbh.

Split the series with the Astros so happy enough with that. Angels made up one game though so have to be careful. Series against Red Sox will tell all given how Red Sox played against Astros.

PJ Conlon of Belfast, recently a NY Met, claimed off waivers by the Dodgers. I imagine he's pretty happy.

I know, I've already been there for a game, Mets beat the Marlins that day...I'm tempted this time as they now have Mikkeller bar there which I want to check out...the only one on the east coast to the best of my knowledge. If I can catch a ballgame even better!

Citi Field is a nice stadium and worth a visit though.

Yeah, don't get me wrong it's a good spot to watch a game (and there's a new Micro-brewery that's new this season too!) but it would just be painful watching those muppets trying to play baseball.

For example, down a run in the 8th today with a man on first and no one out and their best hitter at the moment (Cabrera) at the plate who tries to bunt him over but instead bunts it up in the air and the guy at first is doubled off. You couldn't make it up.

Save your money and don't waste your time. Yankees could put out their AA team and still win handily enough.

Updated now to 2 runs in 42 innings.

Runs scored in last 5 games - 0, 1, 0, 1 (14 innings) and 4.

I really, really hate the Mets.

I was watching here in a bar beside Camden Yards...locals are happy, well those interested enough to watch...Orioles are so out of it, it is time to blow up the team & get ready for spring training!

Not a bad outing from Max to witness.

Yep, he was excellent except for a few loose hits in the 8th but to see an immaculate inning was an unexpected bonus :-) ...Nats, Bryce aside had some timely hits to make sure he got a deserved win.
