Quote from: Shaka Shart on August 05, 2025, 10:15:32 AMYou're right. Nothing of note happened to the results of the game because of that play. I'll give myself a time out

Yeah it was a routine ground out in the 4th inning, right?...right?

You can see in the full replay of him running down the line he lunges in his final stride to try to get the bag but comes up short. 

If he maintains his regular stride he has no chance at beating it and its a normal ground out where he hits the bag cleanly.

It's also a good way to get hurt - there have been more than a few hyperextension injuries and ACL tears from these kinds of lunges over the years. That's why kids are coached from t-ball on to run through the base.

Agreed.  Appreciate the effort but I'd rather avoid an extended IL stint.

Getting a close call on a stretch at first reversed to take back the run that ultimately was the difference of the outcome is brutal. Yes.

For the 20th year (?), the MLBPAA has named their "Heart and Hustle" winners. Congrats to all the recipients, I guess.

Giving up four runs in the 8th inning in a 3-4 loss Saturday was brutal.  This was just a groundout.

Past winners include David Eckstein, Grady Sizemore, Brett Gardner, Anthony Rizzo, Paul Goldschmidt, Todd Frazier, and Bobby Witt, Jr. I think Craig Biggio is the only guy to win it twice. It's presented to active players who "exemplify a true passion for the game and who best embody the values, spirit, and tradition of the game."

Sad that only 13 guys in each league "exemplify a true passion for the game and best embody the values, spirit, and tradition of the game."

MLB fans are being ripped off by the hundreds of players who have comparatively little passion, values, spirit and tradition.

The Mariners have the second-best record in MLB vs .500+ teams but have struggled against lousy teams.

They start a 3-game series vs the  White Sox tonight. And yes, I'm worried.

I believe Blue Jays are 38-25 (.603), and the Brewers are 35-24, (.593).

Yup nevermind. Statmuse was saying it was looking at winning percentage against teams over .500, but it was just looking at overall winning percentage.
