MLB News & Notes (other than Cubs or Sox)

The flagpole...and probably the hill as well...shoulda been vetoed by MLB as needlessly hazardous.

A lady got hit in the face with Brett Lawries broken bat at the A's & Red Sox game. She was at the game with her young son and had to be taken out on a stretcher. Lots of blood and screams. Apparently the injuries are life threatening. That's so awful.


When is MLB going to implement NHL rules and have the netting extend the the foul polls?

Saw the photos. It was gruesome stuff.

[jstraw]

I'm for the netting but I'm also curious to know if my perception that not just broken bats but bats in general are going into the stands at a higher rate, and if so...what the reason(s) might be.

That made me chuckle.

[Butcher]

Man, I wish Archer was still on the team.

The Tigers have lost 8 in a row and are now only 1.5 games ahead of the White Sox.

[nakedman1664]

So....they turn it on when the Cubs get there, right?

Sounds accurate.

Looks like no Price in that series though. So that's nice.

Yeah, the pitching matchups seem to favor the Cubs as it will be Lester and Arrieta starting in the 2 games.

No Wada, so we dodged a bullet there.

Gadzooks, did you just make up a fresh batch of popcorn and thought, "I've got nothing to watch while I eat this?"
