I love how quickly Ashby transitions from agreeing with the original call to saying it should get turned over without admitting he was wrong at all.

And Ashby, after taking 5 replays to see it hit the bat and not the batter, is complaining about New York taking forever to see it.

Oh my god. I logged in just to say this same thing I was getting so frustrated. I saw it on the first replay. It took him many times, and then on the final showing of the replay, he says, "It took us 6 seconds to see it. Why did it take New York so long"

FUCK, I HATE HIM!

If the crew chief really told Hinch "it doesn't matter" when he asked about the run scoring last night, that is unacceptable. That's the kind of shit you'd get fired for at a real job.

That's on Carter. The throw from marwin was routine. Ashby wanted to blame his lack of playing time at first or that he was surprised by Martin's ability to throw a ball directly to his teammate.

The last 7 days plus today's ab.

Last 7 Games 24 3 6 3 5 1 7 0 .250 (#'s prior to HR .250 .522)

I just don't think that is being on fire, I do think he is hitting the ball really hard when he does though. To me, being on fire is more than 6 hits. But, I do think his HR today loosens the rest of the team for their at-bats. And I think he is a very good outfielder, since he gets to play all three of the spots.

Tigers broadcasters really like Harris. Called him legit. Miggy acknowledged Harris's 3-2 hook. Got a wow out of him.

I really like Miggy. He has fun playing the game.

As do I. He and Altuve actually pulled each other's jerseys out while Altuve was at 1B.

The Tigers broadcasters are roasting Ausmus for pitching to Altuve.

If Jake could go on a tear like he was on in April, it would go a long way to push this team towards a playoff spot.

YES!!!

Screamed so loud my daughter came running into the room asking what was going on. It sure is great to have this type of excitement about the team in mid-August.

I think you can question throwing him a strike. He would swing at anything.

If only. That was a great swing though. Every single pitch in that AB was just off the outside edge and he finally went out and got one. Sure, maybe it was Ball 7, but studies have shown that triples ARE better than walks.

So, I decided to tell Morgan Ensberg he should do pbp for the Astros. This was his response to me.

"Morgan Ensberg retweeted Leslie Pruski
That was the plan and it turned into a coaching job."

You're leaving out the three triples. But you're getting .167/.224/.352 (since 7/28) from a defensive liability. What's not to like?

Royals-Angels has been a heck of a game. Trout made a running catch deep in the gap preventing a run to send it to extras after the Royals has already tied it up with a bases juiced sac fly.

Just checking my rules here ... on Jose Altuve's walk-off yesterday, he ran to first and then to second base before being mobbed. Jose was only awarded a single because the winning run was only one base from home plate, right? i.e. had Marisnick been on 2nd base and Altuve hit the same ball and run the same way, he would have been given a double.

I assumed the winning run reached home and the game ended before Altuve reached second.

I always thought you got either a single or a HR in that situation, nothing in between.

The batter can get credit for as many bases as the winning run advances, provided he runs them out, unless it's an out of play HR, in which case he gets all four bases and any runs that score as a result count. If the winning run is at 3B, he can only get a single or a HR.

Thanks. I remember an Angel, I think it was Chone Figgins, hitting a walk off double and watching the runner score from first. His celebratory run took him to 3rd base. He was awarded a triple.
