Cris Carter Misses Himself On Ice Bucket Challenge, Gets Berman
This GIF is absolutely killing me. I cannot stop laughing. In trying to dump water over his own head for the ALS Ice Bucket challenge sweeping the nation, Cris Carter completely misses and dumps water all over Berman. His face when he gets a tiny splash, man, haven't had a good laugh like that in a ...
Twins Prospect Byron Buxton Carted Off Field After Outfield Collision

White Sox Boned By Catcher-Blocking-The-Plate Rule, Ventura Loses It
It feels like we haven't had a manager freak out and start kicking dirt all over home plate in ages. We can at least thank the unnavigable abyss of Rule 7.13 for that. ...
Just A Few Baseball Fans Dressed As Peapods, Chatting
"I dunno, I feel like I don't read anymore, you know? Have you read any good books recently? Nothing interests me. New fiction, classics, non-fiction, none of it. My kid tried to get me to read Lord Of The Rings and I was like, "I already read Jordan's autobiography."...
David Ortiz Tracking Down A Pop Fly Could Take All Night
David Ortiz is a designated hitter who only really plays first base in interleague contests away from Fenway. Tonight, the Red Sox were in Cincinnati, which sports a decent amount of foul territory by first base. David Ortiz moved his legs, one in front of the other, at a higher rate of speed than...
Yasiel Puig Almost Hits Matt Kemp With Angry Bat Toss
Yasiel Puig popped up on the first pitch he saw from Mike Minor in the third inning in Atlanta and tossed his bat away in disgust.

Injuries Are Laying Waste To The Tigers; Not Even The Bat Boy Is Safe

Old Cubs Fan Makes Great Catch On Home Run, Throws Dummy Ball Back
This old guy made a great play to grab Mark Reynolds's second-inning blast in Chicago. He scaled the fence and leaned almost as far over as possible to snag the ball, much to the delight of the folks around him. And, just like his fellow fan from a month ago, in nearly the exact same spot, he kn...
Kid Eats It In Royals Hot Dog Derby Because His Pants Kept Falling Down
This poor kid was stuffed inside a hot dog costume and entered into a race with two other kids: Ketchup and Relish. Our friend was Mustard and as soon as he made the turn down the right field line his pants started falling down. It was only a matter of time, then. He ate it so hard, and then he ate ...
Yasiel Puig Snapped His Bat On A Check Swing
Yasiel Puig can make even a check swing interesting. Puig was initially going to take a hack at Zach Duke's 2-1 pitch in the seventh inning last night, but thought better of it and stopped his hands right in front of him. The portion of the bat not in his hands, however, just kept going and snappe...
Chip Kelly And The Timeless Art Of Seduction
Don't do it, man. Just keep yourself under control. Keep your hands busy. Good. Yes, the zipper. Fidget with the zipper up at your neck. You know that helps. No, no, don't stop, you were doing so well. What are you doing? No...oh God, why would you do that?...
Jose Molina's Home-Run Trot Was So Slow, A Teammate Almost Passed Him
Jose Molina, the only currently active, uninjured Molina brother, is 39 years old. So, we don't expect him to get around the bases quickly. But teammate Kevin Kiermaier almost passed him on the basepaths after hitting a two-run homer against the Athletics today....
Trout Vs. Kershaw Settled By Replay Review
The first Mike Trout-Clayton Kershaw showdown finally went down tonight and it ended up being a pretty great baseball play all around. It was also subject to a replay review before the ultimate outcome was certain, which was kind of anticlimactic. ...
Rogue Ball Thrown On Field During Live Play, Confusing Everyone
Someone threw a ball onto the field in Cleveland tonight at the same moment Yan Gomes had just slapped the real, live, ball against the wall in right field. Jay Bruce fielded the true ball and threw it to the cutoff man, but the imposter ball was already making its way to the infield. ...
Brendan Ryan Slows Liner Down With Glove, Makes Bare-Handed Grab
That's one way to record an out, sure. Not the most efficient way, but an out's an out and Brendan Ryan finally corralled J.D. Martinez's liner with his bare hand after it popped out of (or off) of his glove....
Little Girl Gives No Shits, Dances Around On Field During Reds-Marlins
Who cares about the Reds and Marlins? Not this girl. She's prancing around the field without a care in the world....
Sam Fuld Puts His Entire Body Into It, Throws Man Out At Home
In the fourth inning in Oakland, with runners on the corners, Mike Moustakas hit a liner to center field that was easily caught by Sam Fuld. Alex Gordon tried tagging up from third to score, but he did not account for Fuld's spinning, full-body throw and was nailed at home. It's almost graceful?...
Roberto Hernandez Catches Liner Right At His Face
This is why Phil Hughes acted like a spazz trying to catch a non-existent liner earlier in the week. You never know when a batter is going to redirect your pitch right into your face. Roberto Hernandez knows: better safe than sorry. ...
Daigo Nishi Blasts Incredible Volley Off Corner Kick
This comes from a Japanese Football League match between the Kashima Antlers and Sanfrecce Hiroshima and it is a missile. On a designed play, the Antlers punched a corner kick to Daigo Nishi, a lone defender outside the box and he connected on a dazzling volley. No one saw it coming, or going, and i...
Yasiel Puig Scores From Second On Fielder's Choice
Yasiel Puig scored from second on a potential around-the-horn double play last night with his ridiculous speed and an acrobatic slide into home plate. Hanley Ramirez hits a ball sharply to third and Luis Valbuena fires to second, as Puig bolts for third. As the ball makes its way around to first, ...
