Yes let's walk two straight batters with one out on purpose.
At the time it was the right call..

But if the infield wasn’t in on the grass, that’s likely a double play ball.. Yay for circumstances!

Those hitters do not matter and they set up force plays.

It is absolutely the right call even ignoring that they were Ichiro and Branyan

Yeah, they play you are most worried about in that situation is the squeeze

and having the bases loaded takes that away and wipes out the team’s two best hitters. I don’t see how it couldn’t be the correct call.

I guess you could argue that it drew the infield forward and didn't allow them to have a high enough amount of range.
A groundout scores a run

so you really have no choice but to play in and go for a X-2-3 DP

The infield would have to be in anyways.
I'm guessing the Orioles could've used that homerun in the first inning.
Yahoo! gave it to them.
Ohh Mariners

I wish I knew how to quit you.

For the gif-hungry among you

Lopez...

needs to calm down…2 punches to the kidneys and a kick to the ribs.

It’s all fun and games until someone needs dialysis.

Agreed, that's a bit sick. Kicking? What's that about?

Seems a bit passive/aggressive

Actually it seems like the opposite of passive-aggressive
I should have said aggressive-passive?

Right, but that’s just sick. I didn’t want to call him sick. With his pathetic defense and clueless offense that just seemed cruel.

Felix is kicking him in butt? WTF?

Why doesn’t he just take a bat to his head?

That seems like a legitimate question.
It's funny to look at the 1st one and imagine Beltre got that hit in some random middle inning.
In that first one..I think we know how to get Yuni back in shape. That's the fastest I've seen him run AND HIS ARMS ARE DOWN!
If Yuni pursued grounballs like he does teammates that just hit a game winning single

He might still have some value.

Yaydrian is so running away from Yuni
YUNI COCKPUNCH
Jesus he really goes for those nuts
Good thing Ugueth Urbina isn't on the team.
BAHAHAHAHA that image is rad
How did I miss that the ump who blew the HR/foul call was Guccione?
O good gravy that call SUCKED!!!

I was in 108, and looked to the left to see where the ball landed. It was so far foul I couldn’t believe it wasn’t a no-brainer call. It landed in the seats about 1 or 2 sectsions to the right side of the foul pole. I went ballistic when they called it a HR. So badly so that my kid kept hitting me for using every word in the book — “STOP SAYING BAD WORDS, DAD!!!”

On replay it was very very close
I was just wondering...

…if it’s too late to get back on the Beltre bandwagon.
Last 13 games: .421/.441/.561

It's never too late, he's a streaky guy.
I'm still convinced Brad Bergeson and Brian Burres are the same person.
Brian Burres is a lefty
They are still white and have similar generic names and are not good.
I have never met anyone with the last names Burres or Bergeson
Hello, one of those is my last name, nice to meat you
Burros means donkey.

i would find it humorous if your name was Donkey Burros.

Rob Johnson says hi!
That's how he gets you.
Betancourt hasn't run that fast since 2005.

What a total waste.

This was a statement game.

Ichiro is selfish for IBBing.
Clement is better than Rob Johnson.
Cedeno should be at short.
HARPER!

Someone is going to say this is a statement game.

Which means another 6 game losing streak and and 0-21 slump for Beltre.

Plus, his butt will be so sore from Felix we won’t even be able to bench him.

But it is a statement game clearly.
The statement being "Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good"
The statement is actually, "We did not lose tonight."
Robert up to 26.4%!

I am going to enjoy this recap over the next 3 months.

I love it.

The perfect compliment to the game WE chart
This one idea is going to be my rec gravy train for the year
The upward spike in the middle looks like a penis.
Hopefully not yours.
Robert never had that much of a chance at my penis.
