Aight, here we go, bases juiced after a walk.

This field is all turf, but the batters instinctively dig into the box anyway.  It’s kind of funny,

Oh no, loud single to the left field wall ends it.  UMemphis 5, UToledo 4.

What do you mean I have to do a ****ing game recap.  Do we really need to do a ****ing game recap?  Uh oh, is this on?  Are we live?  Oh no, sorry folks.

Not that anybody cares about Michigan State baseball, but they are bringing the hammer down on #8-ranked Louisville 12-4 after seven innings, and having squeaked out a 4-3 win yesterday. Spartans may not be anything this yea—or any year for that matter—but thank god baseball is back!

Nick has signed a one year deal with the Padres for the $780,000 minimum

Why not? The amount is a rounding-error risk for the 1 in, like, 100 chance that he will be a productive, respected member of a team.

I am glad for him, and I hope he does decently.

I guess Petco‘s considered friendly to right handed home run hitters, so Nick might not stink up the place. Otherwise it’s generally considered pitching friendly, I think.

I actually watched that live! MSU game was over and that was the other B1G game on. Talk about horrific. Also horrific was that as the throw was being made my picture froze, then skipped ahead to the aftermath after maybe six or seven seconds of hearing the guy screaming his commentary over a still picture. Had to wait for the replay to see it unfold.

First baseman needs to stretch out for that.

As a guy who makes the same physical error too often to comment...he might have been doing that on behalf of the gambling sickos.

I really thought he'd be an anchor in a good way when he first came up.  I think if we were to have brought him in now he'd have been the other kind of anchor.

Are you joking? He could stretch 20 feet and still not catch that throw. 🤣🤣

The 1Bdude lived through that play, probably has looked at the replay several times, and is probably still not expecting that kind of throw was physically possible from a D1 2B.

Or maybe the poor kid is related to Steve Sax or Chuck Knoblauch?
