    It's not just that the tarp is heavier than it looks. When it's wet, it weighs tons (literally), which means the mechanism to roll it (or the humans) off the field has to be super-solid... and thus the half-ton roller that broke Coleman's leg.

His video about how the movie Moneyball ruined the Oakland Athletics organization, and is likely leading to their move from Oakland to most likely Las Vegas is actually pretty good. It’s called how the movie Moneyball ruins the Oakland A’s. They also have another one of these funny compilations called the weirdest players in baseball history. It’s absolutely hilarious and you should probably check it out.

    Lonnie Smith wasn't tricked by the infielders, despite Tim McCarver's (and now BBDE) ranting. You can clearly see him looking out to left trying to locate the ball. You can also see in the non-cropped version the third base coach looking to left to locate the ball, not winding his arm to tell Lonnie to keep running. The Metrodome had a white roof, which made it very difficult to follow white balls when hit in the air. If you lost the ball off the bat, it was difficult to reacquire. Lonnie paused because he wasn't sure if the ball had hit the ground, and by the time he did locate it, he could only make third.
    Then the following hitters proceeded to hit a weak grounder to first then ground into a double play (after an intentional walk). Then in the following two innings 6 batters failed to reach base. Lonnie Smith did not lose the 1991 World Series by his lonesome as people want to paint. And in fact was a huge part of them making it to a game seven with an OBP of .333 in the series and 3 HR.

    Your reaction to the David Cone play at first base (out by a mile, umpire calls him safe, player starts yelling at the umpire while runners score) reminded me of something else that you should definitely look into, which is Armando Galaraga's Imperfect Game. I won't spoil anything about it, but I'll just quickly explain what a Perfect Game is. As a pitcher, there is no greater single-game accomplishment than throwing a Perfect Game, which is a complete game pitched with no batter reaching base; no hits allowed, no walks, no hit batters, no errors, 27 batters faced, 27 outs. You may be able to guess some of what happened to Galaraga given the "Imperfect Game" title, but I won't say any more. Jomboy did a breakdown of it years after the fact, "Umpire blows the call on Armando Galarraga's perfect game, a breakdown." I'd recommend just watching his video as he lays out a lot of the context.

    The runner who ran back to home so he didn’t get tagged on the first base line confused me because I grew up playing softball and we have the rule that you cannot run back to home if you are running to first. You have to just try and avoid the tag. If you run back you are out. Home plate is not an occupiable base. I guess I always assumed the rule was the same in baseball because that very rarely happens that someone will run backwards in that situation.

    Faking baserunners with fake throws/catches is a longstanding thing that defensive players do. There have been outfielders that lost the ball (in the lights, the sun, whatever, they can't see the ball) but faked that they were about to make the catch, which holds up the runners - then they play the ball on a bounce. It mostly won't get an out, but it does prevent the runners from advancing as much as they might otherwise.

    To add insult to injury teams pay for flyovers. And it's not very cheap either. So the Brewers pay tens of thousands of dollars for a flyover no one even saw.

    Chuck Knoblauch's finest moment with the Minnesota Twins, DEEKING Lonnie Smith in the World Series.
    [Such a play, known as a deke (short for “decoy”), has long been a staple of major league baseball. In it, a fielder acts as if a play he has no chance of making is in front of him, so as to slow or stop a runner who might otherwise advance to the next base]... Which reminds me of another phenomena to study - players who get "The Yips" - "...Chuck Knoblauch started his MLB career off on the right track making his name known within the walls of the Metrodome in Minnesota. He earned American League Rookie of the Year honors in 1991 and helped the Twins win the World Series over the Atlanta Braves. If you haven't seen any clips from this game do yourself a favor and dive right in. The 1991 World Series is arguably the greatest World Series ever played and is one of the reasons that Greg Gagne, Kent Hrbek, and Kirby Puckett are in the Twins Hall of Fame.
    The AL Rookie of the Year would spend his first seven seasons as a pro in Minnesota, where he was a four-time All-Star and two-time Silver Slugger. Throughout his stay in the Twin Cities, Knoblauch hit 43 home runs, drove in 391 RBIs, and recorded 276 stolen bases, all while maintaining his prowess as a steady hitter with a career batting average of .304.
    In 1998, Knoblauch requested a trade out of Minnesota and was dealt to the New York Yankees...
    The Gold Glove-winning second baseman featured in the Yankees' three-peat of World Series championships from 1998-2000 but soon found himself struggling, particularly as a fielder.
    In what may be the worst-known case of the yips in Major League Baseball history, Knoblauch's defense deteriorated so rapidly and noticeably that he could scarcely make the easy throw from second base to first base. In one instance, an errant Knoblauch throw hit Keith Olbermann's mother sitting along the first baseline.
    As the throwing errors mounted, the Yankees' patience wore thin and eventually moved Knoblauch into left field for the first time in his career.
    Knoblauch's career was winding down, and the Yankees didn't re-sign him following the 2001 season. During the offseason, he joined the Kansas City Royals, where he played his final season in The Show...."

    I'm glad that you guys understand enough about baseball to appreciate all of these dumb plays, dumb promotions and dumb fans that attend the games. Drinking is not as big a thing at sporting events here as I see in Europe and especially the UK so we tend to get silliness and attention seekers rather than anything serious. You might have noticed that there are a lot of children and even people with babies attending the games. Baseball is the most family friendly game we have. When I was a kid growing up and playing baseball in San Diego the Padres would give free tickets to little league teams all over the city and half of the attendance for that game was 6 to 16 year old's. Free hot dogs, soda and popcorn. Thanks Pad's!! I gladly accepted your generosity even though I was always a Dodgers fan. ⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾

    Taser Context: part of the debate is the use-of-force tiers of stadium security. Is security the same as Law Enforcement (police)?
    If I recall, one mentally challenged young fan (Florida, I think) was tasered, tackled - he resisted - resulting in the need of an ambulance carry his limp body to hospital. He survived, however it made national news and horrified many fans and witnesses.

    As a Giants fan, it can be rough on the old folks to balldude a game, but I have never seen one that wasn't smiling and having the time of their lives.
    P.s.: baseball is, at it's core, a children's game. Half the rules are wholly unwritten yet deeply respected and almost religiously abided by. You do it almost every afternoon over summer. There is a sincere, childlike glee that comes from a bit of baseball, a little "I'll throw it and you try to hit it" while in the backyard spirit that it never truly loses, even at the most grueling professional level there is always a pranking, jocking, juvenile superstition-breeding, ladding-it-up attitude to baseball that keeps even the most serious veterans young-at-heart. That's what these SF Giants balldudes and dudettes are embracing and having a ball.
