Men's Baseball MLB 2022

[Grassmarket 3,413]

Bench clearing brawl in Mets v Cardinals.  Seriously impressive effort from one of the Cards pitchers, climbed a wall & must have sprinted 200m from the bullpen way over past outfield to get involved.

Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer suspended for two full seasons for the sexual assault case that came out last summer:

Rookie Reid Detmers threw a no-hitter yesterday. That's one way to keep a 12-0 game interesting. The Angels might finally not waste whatever Mike Trout has left to give while in the NL the Mets are also looking suspiciously above par so far. Granted, it can all change come the summer.

Only the sixth time in MLB history that a team allowed 0 hits and still lost the game. It's almost fitting this happened to the worst team this season - Cincinnati Reds who lost 0-1 to Pittsburgh Pirates.

 

After three walks the only run was scored on fielder's choice who couldn't pull off a double play to end the inning.

The Angels hot start in April is history as they fired Joe Maddon amid a 12 game losing streak. They got swept over the weekend by Philadelphia Phillies which only fired their own manager Joe Girardi on Friday I guess that was the last straw.

 

Meanwhile it's still cooking in New York as Yankees & Mets lead each league and don't appear to be slowing down.

Oakland Athletics gave up two runs on two wild pitches with two outs in the ninth to lose to the Mariners 1-2. That's borderline losing on purpose but A's are aiming for the worst record of the season at this rate. Frankie Montas had a no-hitter going into the eight and he's their #1 trade candidate to complete the roster blow out.

A walk-off balk last night. Only the 23rd time that has happened in MLB history.

WTF!!! that's not a balk...

MLB umpys are digging deep this year with absurd calls...

and they threaten a perennial strike if the league start to use the robo-calls for strikes and balls...

c'mon, man! they just can't go on like that...

Seattle Mariners have won 10 games in a row - for the first time since 2002 This is only the fourth time they have a double digit win streak going.

 

And this stretch happened when some of their key players were suspended following a brawl in the Angels game two weeks ago

Josh Hader who is arguably the best closer in the game gave up 3 HR and walk-off Grand Slam vs Giants last night. It's possibly the worst blown save in MLB since 1969 Brewers led 5-2 entering the ninth and lost 5-8.
