Pete or Utley?

Either way, back in the 70's it was part of the game. Now it's we can't hurt the millionares. Just like football and don't touch the QB or it's a flag.

I'd prefer Russell to have non broken legs.

Carlos Correa 4-4 today with 11 total bases......but makes devastating, Alex Gonzalez-type error on DP grounder (on not-easy hop) in 8th inning that changes complexion of game and maybe result of that series.

This is baseball. Hero and bum on same day. Maybe Correa will mention this during his HOF speech 25 years from now, as an inspiration for what follows.

Heard something on Fox Sports today that makes me even less anxious to spend huge dollars on Price.  Price blamed nerves for losing Game 1 and voiced a preference for not pitching in Game 5.  What is his postseason record?

2-6 and 5.04 ERA.

You'll have to ask CBJ about his xFIP and SIERA.

Still, I would have taken Tigers offer of Price for Daury Torrez. Big mistake turning that down.

Not as big a mistake as thinking the offer was made outside of a hypothetical on a fan discussion board.

Texas and Toronto has been a well played game today.

This is relaxing and exciting at the same time.

Texas scores a run on a rare play.  Runner on third and Choo at the late.  The catcher's throw back to the pitcher hits Choo's bat and dribbles toward third.  The runner came in to score.

Field is getting trashed.  Wow.

What a weird play.  It's the correct call though.

Looks like David Price has been ejected and a Cecil maybe.

Fans whipping things onto the field
