    5-4 Red Sox with bases loaded, one out and out comes Gleyber to pinch hit.

    He and Stanton will make many AL pitchers Cy Young candidates.
    Gallo 3Ks, Stanton 4Ks. LOL

    I really thought someone anyone would have worked with him, to change up his over extended stance, and give him the tools to teach him to make contact with the ball. Something anything to improve his eye to hand coordination.

    Totally agree with you Vic!

    I was under the impression Manfred was lobbying to get rid of that bullshit.
    I did not realize until yesterday both the players union and the owners wanted to keep it around. The pussies don't want to play Extra innings fk 'em if they don't want to give fans extra innings, games instead of playing Little League. Some of the best MLB games I've ever attended were definitely Extra inning games. I never forget the one Yankees game that didn't end until around 4:00 a.m. New York time.

    Back in 1990, June 15th.
    At Chavez Ravine the Padres versus The Dodgers. 13th inning approximately 1:00 a.m. Joe Carter hit a 2 run home run to win the game, a very low scoring game, 1-1going into OT!
    In the top of the 13th Tony Gwynn drew a walk, Joe Carter drove him in, himself too.



    That's what's called getting your money's worth, even though there was probably less than a thousand fans left in the stands. In LA seems like 50% of the fans leave after six innings. I guess in one respect it doesn't surprise me-
