The San Francisco Giants set a piece of history today becoming the first team to have their pitcher and catcher hit grand slams in the same game...
So, that meant it was Buster Posey for one of them
And Madison Bumgarner for the other...
Bumgarner hit his second slam of the season- matching Tony Cloninger's total from one game in 1966

How About An Inside-The-Park Grand Slam...???
((HT: MiLB.com))

Why The Marlins Are The Marlins
((HT: MLB.com))
And they will always be the Marlins...
Just watch...
Okay... let's analyze for a second...
First, the decision was to intentionally walk Anthony Rendon to face Jayson Werth...
Rendon was walked to load the bases for a veteran power hitter...
Carlos Marmol thought he could get a 94-miles per hour fastball past Werth...
Not 98 or 99, but 94...
Over the fat part of the plate...
The Marlins deserved their fate from the decisions made in the dugout...
And they deserved the utter comtempt of Werth's bat flip...
Watch it again...
Werth's bat mowed the grass with his bat's disdain...
A disdain for all the decisions made leading up to the 0-1 pitch that ended the Marlins hopes on the road last night...
As it should have been...

A Walk Off Grand Slam On The 4th Of July.
How's this for 4th of July fireworks, a game ending with a grand slam walk-off home run.
Kole Calhoun of the Salt Lake Bees provided the big blast.
"I really wasn’t trying to do too much, and I ended up hitting it well," Calhoun said after the game. "To have a grand slam on the Fourth of July is pretty special."
Yes it was.

Another Game-Tying Grand Slam... For Nothing...
((HT: MLB.com/ROOT))
It's not every day that you see extra-inning grand slams... regardless the ones that mean something...
Kyle Seager did the following in front of a crowd of teens in Seattle this afternoon...
But, as it goes sometimes, it was all for naught...
The White Sox scored twice in the 16th inning for the 7-5 win...
Seager is now hitting .283 in the middle of the Mariners order...
The clubs combined for 15 pitchers, 244 pitches thrown by White Sox pitchers and 249 by Seattle...
The game took 5 hours and 42 minutes

2 Grand Slams In A Game... In Back-To-Back Innings
((HT: milb.com/Big League Stew))
Marlins minor leaguer Jake Marisnick hit two grand slams in back-to-back innings last night as double-A affiliate Jacksonville beat Pensacola 11-2.
For those of you keeping track, he is now hitting a robust .248 after his 9 RBI performance. The RBI are tied for the most in a Southern League game since Butch Garcia in 1989...
Here's Marisnick's handiwork...
The Marlins' number two-rated prospect entered the game in a 2-for-26 slump, but he might be turning it around.
"Just little things I've been working on with Kevin Randel, the hitting coach," he said. "Just kind of got up there and let it happen. Sometimes I've been overswinging and that gets me into a bad situation."
Josh Ravin, the pitcher who gave up both slams, went the sum total of an inning-and-a-third, giving up six earned runs, and his ERA is now 7.15... Don't you worry none... it's not the highest ERA on the team at present...
Here's Marisnick's post-game interview, presumably in the bowels of the stadium in Pensacola

The New Morse Code: Swinging An Imaginary Bat
((HT: MASN/The Score/MLB))
Michael Morse of the Washington Nationals thought he hit a grand slam the other night against the St. Louis Cardinals. So did his manager Davey Johnson...
But it took video review for it to actually get figured out that Kyle Lohse served the ball up in that manner...
Instead of being out, or having fellow runners out for passing each other in the confusion... the umps thought of something completely different...
We'll let Bob Carpenter tell you what happened next...
How cool was that...???
Just like when we all grew older...
An imaginary swing for a real home run...
The HQ will take that trade...
