Wilson Ramos stole that base fair and square.
After 3364 plate appearances, Wilson Ramos finally stole a base. Ronald Acuña Jr. stole the very same base to join the 30-30 club. Who gets the base? It’s a boyfriend smackdown. Ketel Marte earns player of the week, Dave Dombrowski gets the boot from the Red Sox and minor league baseball, including Blue Jays prospect Chavez Young, and local junior baseball leagues mobilize disaster relief for the post-Dorian Bahamas.
After 3364 plate appearances, Wilson Ramos finally stole a base. Ronald Acuña Jr. stole the very same base to join the 30-30 club. Who gets the base? It’s a boyfriend smackdown.
Ketel Marte's slams earns player of the week and proves Pottymouth right. Matt Olson earns some boyfriend love from Patti, even though she’d prefer his Oakland team would please lose just enough for Cleveland to cement that wildcard spot.
Aaron Barrett reminds us that it’s hard not to be romantic about baseball. His triumphant return to the majors after horrible injury and years of rehab moved the universe of baseball to tears of joy, relief, and gratitude.
Reds pitcher Michael Lorenzen gives us his best Babe Ruth and causes Pottymouth to reluctantly make Patti’s anti-DH argument for her. This time.
Big brother Brian Moran debuts with the Marlins after 10 years in the minors. With their parents in the stands, Brian strikes out little brother and Pirates 3rd baseman Colin Moran. And gets the win. How can you not be romantic about baseball?
Dave Dombrowski gets the boot from the Red Sox, opening the door to management by committee and maybe, just maybe, a female GM?
Minor league baseball, including Blue Jays prospect Chavez Young, and local junior baseball leagues mobilize disaster relief for the post-Dorian Bahamas. Because “If you come in my life in baseball then you’re in my life.”
