Tonight Royals vs. Red Sox, KC had a run taken away from them as a hit was ruled a ground rule double when the ball hit “balls and strike” indicator on the “Green Monster” and stayed in the broken bulb, causing the left fielder to lose the ball...The lead runner was put back on third base, the hitter to second and the next batter made the 3rd out of the inning. The Royals lost the game, 4-3.
pretty cool, I did see a walk off gland slam once but maybe it's not as rare of feat as I thought
Andre Dawson hit 2HRs in same game. One to tie in 9th. One to win in extras.
They're 0-11 in extras and 6-22 in one run games with a +54 run differential.. brutalBack to back walk off wins for the Cardinals by the same hitter, Tommy Edman, vs. the same pitcher, the hated Josh Hader, the 14 million dollar hired gun. The Cards having a bad year but the Padres, holy cow, a 252 million dollar payroll and 10 games under .500...
With a month left.. crazyAcuna is the first player in MLB history to have 30 homers & 60 stolen bases in a season.

And the swing for the homer mentality even with 2 strikes. I was super surprised in the Cards/Padres game the other night when after a lead off single, Soto ( with the 400 million dollar contract ) laid down a sacrifice bunt. What? Playing for a run in the first inning ( it did work ) with a guy you broke the bank for? Cards walked it off in the 9th the second day in a row...Agreed
Yeah I’ve seen Soto do that with nobody on, thought it was weird. He must have some Rizzo in him where he likes to bunt down the 3rd base line & take what’s given to him.And the swing for the homer mentality even with 2 strikes.

I watched - on tv - Gunnar Henderson say no thanks to the cycle. Came to bat with a HR, triple, and double already in the books. Hit a rope down the first base line and didn't hold up at first. The reaction of the Orioles in the dugout is priceless.The other near-miss feat was that BoSox CF Carl Everett (a native of Tampa), in his first four AB hit a homer, a triple, a double, and a SacFly. In his last at bat, in the 8th inning, he only needed a single to hit for the cycle. He blew it by hitting another homer.
Still confused as to why a .183 hitter with that power leads off…
I believe the thinking is it gives him a potential extra AB where he just might run into another HR swing.Still confused as to why a .183 hitter with that power leads off…
