like I'm 98% kidding but in this day and age that probably merits a quick investigation to make sure there was no irregular betting activity right before Marte went to the plate right? I know nothing about the dude and don't actually want to besmirch his character by suggesting he's dirty BUT that's such an automatic challenge situation, even if it's in heart of the zone, much less way fucking high
crazy orioles' magic this game. pathetic ABs most of the game but crazy good defense in extra innings. 6 in a row!
Casual fan hot take: they should show crappy teams in primetime. I watch one game every week because that's all they show on TV and I don't want to pay for MLB.tv. And it's always some combination of the Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox, or Cubs. I want to see the As play the Tigers. Rockies vs Diamondbacks. I don't think I have ever seen the Rockies on TV. I know the bigger markets get better ratings and all that but I'm tired of seeing the same rosters every week.
