I definitely wouldn't have left Grandal in this game behind the plate with the series he's had so far

For anyone trying to say Aguilar didn't move out of the way fast enough, you've obviously never played much, if any ball. That was a super easy routine play, and that asshole had zero reason to run inside the line, nor did he need to change course too move closer to elbowing him in the back too. It was 100 % intentional, kids playing 8-9 year old baseball know that play is wrong and aren't taught that way
Machado isn’t nearly as big as Aguilar but he can do damage with his spikes just the same. You got your out, get off the bag for your own sake. Sure, Machado was looking for trouble though.

Not sure what you mean by that. You were blaming the victim of that play, which I ridiculed by using a classic victim-blaming trope. If anyone thinks I am gender-insulting with my post, I apologize.
No I wasn’t blaming Ag, just saying he should get off the bag when the out is made, for his own protection,

Still gonna disagree. Aguilar did absolutely nothing wrong there. Nothing. Well, other than not punching Douchebag in the face anyway..

I went back at watched the replay, Aguilar caught ball, dickhead had just planted his left foot and pushed inside towards Aguilar, landed on the bag with the right foot and clipped him with the left. There wasn't that much time to catch and release the bag and as I said, runners don't take an inside line on a ball hit to SS, ever

Dude this is dark.
I want to confess as best I can, but my heart is void. The void is a mirror. I see my face and feel loathing and horror. My indifference to men has shut me out. I live now in a world of ghosts, a prisoner in my dreams. The Buck family will be announcing baseball at us forever.

Which is blaming him in part for what happened. I fundamentally disagree. That was 100% MM being an asshole.

Machado has hit two catchers with the follow-through of his swing this postseason alone. He is as dirty as they come.

I live on the west coast (but work east coast hours - woe is me) so I can say that technically, this post wins the internet for 10/16/18.

hopefully they didn't send kershaw home yet, if this goes more than a couple innings they might need him, Urias can't be stretched out really at all

Machado is young; better to go back and kill Braun’s old ass then.
Hey, I'll do both of them if you pony up with the time machine. The money I make from the investments I put down while offing Braun will just get reallocated when I off baby Manny. Best of both worlds.

What are the rules here regarding #weirdbaseball and ice cream?
midnight local time, need to get another few innings at least

edit: Unless there's an addendum for earlier start times, since a normal game of this length would be past midnight already
