OT: Philadelphia Phillies: Pronunciation Class With Bryce Harper

[Hollywood Cannon]

My favorite part of this season and last is that I always forget games are on until right around the time the bullpen enters the fray. So that's all I ever see.

Gee, I never would have guessed.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Gee, I never would have guessed.

Oh shit. Am I the problem

 

[Jack Straw]

Oh shit. Am I the problem

This got on the MLB broadcast somehow. In Marlins Park no less.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

This has to be one of the worst fielding decision(s) or lack thereof I’ve seen in some time. Two outs, all you had to do was tag first. It snowballed from there.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Smart play by Javy though. Don't run into outs.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Marchan blocks a 100 mph sinker in the dirt and then picks off a runner in a high leverage situation. What an inning for him.

And Alvarado still can’t get out of the jam. He's at a walk per inning on the season now. That's not a big leaguer no matter how good the stuff is.

 

[montreal]

how about Ranger, what an outing from him, Howard looked great until he didn't.

Pirates baseball

He had two options, tag the base or run at Javy and tag him. Even if the run scores, it wouldn't have counted if they just got Javy out.

This is maybe the all time dumb sports play.

Could also have tagged Baez whenever and the run doesn't count. Even after the runner on "scored". A force out is a force out. Not sure who the first basemen is but holy god is he a f***ing dumbass

This is amazing

He ran away from the easy out to try and be a showboaty dumbass, then forgot that the runner can't just get back on home to be safe so he gave the ball away. His skull is filled with foam.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I think Baez was more of an idiot savant in the moment than anything. Even he had no idea what he was doing. Guy celebrated the run getting in while still in play himself before taking off.

 

[Jack Straw]

I always feel that if you watch enough baseball, every season you'll see at least one thing that you've never seen before. I've never seen a batter run back towards home plate, let alone a fielder chase after him.

I have been watching baseball a long time. That is a first for me.

Pittsburgh losing the game by two runs is just the cherry on top of this absolutely wonderful cake. That may be the single dumbest play in any sport ever, and it was just so avoidable.


At various points:

Two steps to the side and the inning is over.

Two steps forward and the inning is over.

The catcher tags either runner and the inning is over.

The pitcher or second baseman cover first (LIKE YOU LEARN ON DAY ONE IN T-BALL FOR CHRISAKE), and the inning is over.


Instead we got this, and I'm so happy I was alive to see it.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Has any first baseman ever, at any level of baseball, at any point in baseball history, EVER, just....chased a runner going to first?

Maybe someone on this team...

May 28th, 2008. Doc's perfect game.

The Flyers were also playing in the Cup. Imagine watching a regular season Phillies game over that. But that's what happened! I was skipping laps around the couch in the basement for the last 2 innings. I was giving him good luck after all

 

[wankstifier]

So Arenado might just be a really solid player regardless of park factors?

[Beef Invictus]

Wheeler starts with two casual 98mphs hugging the exact bottom of the strike zone

 

[Beef Invictus]

OK he's just throwing every pitch right on the edges
