Holy Mackerel! That's Embarassing!!!

When Vin Scully shames your defensive lack of focus, you know it was bad...

And this three-throwing error nonsense from the Dodgers was exactly that...

How Do You Score This One In The Book...???

((HT: Clinton Lumber Kings their own selves))

Okay...

Here's the situation...

Runners at first and second, two outs, 5-5 score, and the pop-up gets lost up the elevator...

How would you score this one...???

Post by Clinton LumberKings Baseball Club.

The HQ thinks it's a double and a two-base throwing error...

Here's the official word, thanks to Mike Weisman and the Lumber Kings:

Tyler O'Neill popped up just in front of the plate. The ball landed on the dirt, no more than two feet in fair territory in between the entire Wisconsin infield. As Barbosa crossed the plate, Matos fielded the ball, and in an attempt to throw out O'Neill at second base, threw it into centerfield, as O'Neill and Thomas both scored. The third baseman was charged with two errors on the plate, as Clinton let 8-5 after four innings.

However, Wisconsin came back to win 10-9

A 3-Run Wild Pitch...??? Yup...

((HT: MLB.com))

The HQ can't recall the last time we saw something like this...

One run, maybe two, but not three on a wild pitch that come around to score...
Evidence below...


So, Rockies pitcher Christian Friedrich threw a wild pitch- run scores
Catcher Michael McKenry throws it past Friedrich on the cover at home- another run scores
The ball rolled all the way to the Brewers dugout, Juan Segura scores...

Wonder what the conversation in the Rockies clubhouse was like after the game..>???

Gotta win five games in a day and here's how you win the last one...

Four-base throwing error...???
Inside-the-park home run on a wild pitch...???

Whatever the official score is... it's still very cool...

A Walk-Off Review...???

((HT: MLB/ROOT))

The HQ doesn't know what to think of this...

Is it what you are looking for in a review- even if it ends a game- or does it take away too much from the game itself when you call for a review...???

Happened last night in the Pirates-Giants game...
Here's the end...
What say you...???

Busy Day For Rangers-Astros Includes A Drop And A Fire Truck

((HT: MLB.com))

It was a day that needed celebrating when the Rangers took on the Astros...

The Rangers made a point to honor the town of West, about 90 minutes south, as the town was obliterated when a grain plant exploded this spring. Lance Berkman even went as far as donating a fire truck that was purchased from the Arlington Fire Department. His name and number were placed on the side of the truck, but Berkman wanted no such recognition.

He just wanted to make sure the truck works for a town that really needs the help...
Here's the link to the ceremony...

And the story from WFAA-TV
And, during the game, one of the lighter moments when someone dropped a sure home run souvenir, and someone else wasn't too pleased...
