I know none of you care but ........ (the Baseball thread)

[UK Redsox]

Only one of yesterday's games went the way I wanted...the obvious one

Milwaukee are my second team, so I want them to win.

Gotsta like a team who's star player is nicknamed 'The Big Dumper', so I want Seattle to beat Detroit.

I had nothing much against the Phillies (love the Phanatic and Schwarbs is great) until finding out that Bryce Harper had given his latest kid the middle name 'Three' ...green pukey face emoji.
So, c'mon you Dodgers

Brilliant by the Jays last night - excited!

Dodgers through.

Ohtani hasn't been great this post-season. If he clicks, they'll be difficult to stop.

An 11th inning walk-off error is a weird way to end a series

[Richard E]

Nice 15 innings additional game to knacker out the Mariners, followed by a flight to Toronto.

Tigers @ Mariners was one hell of a game

An unusual double play in the Dodgers/Brewers game.

An unusual double play in the Dodgers/Brewers game.

That was utterly bizarre. Well done to the Umpires for sorting that one out. None of the players, apart from the Brewers' Catcher, seemed to have a clue

[Somniloquism]

The video from the high camera really shows the confusion with the runners. But what does the numbers mean in an 8-4-2 play mean?

Position numbering for scoring / play-recording purposes



Center Fielder threw the ball to the Second Baseman, who threw it to the Catcher

[UK Redsox]

If a player gets caught off base and gets into a rundown, scoring can end up being, along the lines of, 2-4-5-6-1-4-2-3

[Small Rodent]

Mariners are very, very, resilient.

It’s all gone a bit Villa v Palace in Toronto
