    I didn't see Matt Brash giving up a run after mowing through the 1st 2 batters in the inning.

    Color me shocked.

    Antonio Alfonseca

    Not ambidextrous at all, but weirdass fingers/hands and he had 6 fingers on his LH pitching hand and some strange on the right...

    His nickname in baseball was "El Pulpo" ("the octopus")

    Grew up with a kid that was polydactyl, that little finger got cut off while swinging. Got hung up in the chain.

    I didn't believe it when I heard it was their 1st walk off of the season and it's mid August.

    Even Rockies have walk off wins.

    What the hell was Polanco doing there? Doesn’t even attempt a throw home and he’s acting like he’s keeping the runner at 2nd in check lol

    Obviously didn't have a chance but yea that was odd. EDIT: Fanduel? :rolleyes:

    SEA BBS is blaming Dylan Moore and the defense alignment, saying to drill Jackson when he's up tomorrow since HPU was giving him calls and that the "Cheaters" gained a game. lol It's hilarious how up in the ****ing heads of the rest of the MLB fans we are.

    Yeah, it was just weird how he was looking at the runner at 2nd and starting jogging that way lol

    Mariners fans are toxic AF, especially when it comes to us…I don’t blame them though, must suck rooting for such a loser franchise

    Fun fact, the allele for six fingers/toes is actually dominant

    Hunter finally got his elusive 10th win.

    I was at the game. My god, Alex Cora is a yapper and sure complains A LOT.

    Has Cam Smith changed his batting stance recently? It was my first time seeing it in person and I'm not sure if I like it. His stance is hella wide and I vaguely don't remember being that wide.

    I hadn't really noticed. I will now pay attention.

    He was at his best early in the season when he hit almost everything to RCF/RF.....and pulled in the air things he could rip to LF/CF

    I miss that version of him.

    Why did Correa not play?
    So sorry, my condolences for the loss of your friend.
