You know, in retrospect, that might actually help explain some of Canseco's crazier tweeting and such ...

LOL -- I stand corrected.

My dear Polly, if it had been you, you would have caught the ball off your head, not let it
bounce into the seats for a home run!

Mike Schmidt: Two home runs.
Dave Kingman: Three home runs.
. . . and even a couple of pitchers hit one out . . .

Nice way to start the first one. Kuechel wins and Marisnek throws out the runner at home.

3-0 Astros over FL.

Now 29-12 !!!!!!!!

Think ESPN will ever notice us?

The PITS?....Yep, and the NYY, the BOS, the NYM, etc.   Bozos have failed to realize baseball exists outside the coasts.

Apparently not.

Quote
If a fly ball is first touched by a player in fair territory and then goes over the fence, it is a home run.

7.05(a) Each runner including the batter-runner may, without liability to be put out, advance ... to home base scoring a run, if a fair ball goes out of the playing field in flight and the runner touches all bases legally;

When the batted ball was touched by the player in fair territory, the ball automatically became fair. The ball remains in flight until it touches the ground - touching a player does not alter this. Thus, this rule applies.

If a fly ball is first touched by a player in foul territory and then goes over the fence, it is a foul ball.

Well, I'll be.  I stand corrected, because that's a perfect description of what's on the video.

Congrats on the stellar start to the season. Looking good. But … go Rangers!!! If y’all would quit winning every damn game, maybe we could gain some ground on you. 7 straight for the boys from Arlington.

That hurts! Especially so when you consider that he is really all they have!

Actually, he's not all they have, but he is definitely the cornerstone and he's been having a MVP season thus far.  By some accounts, the only guy better so far this year is Mike Trout:
http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/top-100-players-in-mlb-so-far-this-season-freddie-freeman-aaron-judge-among-elite/

Matt Kemp has been hitting just about everything thrown to him lately, and Ender Inciarte is having a nice streak, too.  Offense hasn't been our problem nearly so much as pitching.

But anyway you slice it, this is a big loss.

The Braves without Freddie Freeman are like the Angels if they should lose Mike Trout for any considerable
length of time. Never underestimate the psychological power of having your franchise face on the field
with you.
