If Joe Kelly serves a single game of that 8-game suspension, he will have been punished more than any of the players that cheated to win a World Series title in 2017. Let that sink in.
Joe Kelly got a 6-game suspension in a 162-game season for actually hitting Tyler Austin with a fastball & fighting him. How the fuck did he get 8 games in a 60-game season for missing Carlos Correa with a curveball and mocking him for being a crybaby? He didn't even get ejected.
Astros fans in my mentions saying Joe Kelly ran to the dugout to get away from Carlos Correa. He struck him out. The inning was over. I know you just started watching baseball in 2017, but that's how baseball works.
A-Rod going from a hated, disgraced, supervillain athlete to the dorky, endearing, and lovable boyfriend of JLo might be the greatest public perception turnaround in modern history.
I canโt get enough of this. Trevor Bauer actually signaled every single pitch he was about to throw to Matt Beaty and still got the out. If you canโt appreciate this manโs troll game then we wonโt have much in common. (via

All the replies were saying he could get anywhere from $100K to $500K for the ball. Bro was just holding out for some signed baseballs for his boys. Legend.
Lost my auntie Terry this morning to Coronavirus. She was the sweetest woman who loved her Red Sox. My heart goes out to everyone who has lost a loved one during this time. Itโs awful.
BEST RECORD IN BASEBALL. MOST WINS IN FRANCHISE HISTORY. AMERICAN LEAGUE EAST DIVISION CHAMPIONS. AMERICAN LEAGUE CHAMPIONS. THE MOST DOMINANT TEAM IN RED SOX HISTORY. FOR THE FOURTH TIME IN 15 SEASONS, THE 2018 BOSTON RED SOX ARE WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS!! DAMAGE!!

Kyle Schwarber has homered in the NL Wild Card game, AL Wild Card game, NLDS, ALDS, NLCS, ALCS, the World Series, and now the World Baseball Classic championship game. Has yet to homer in the Super Bowl.
This was the greatest WBC ever played. From start to finish. The stories were incredible, right down to the Hollywood ending where Shohei Ohtani struck out Mike Trout in the 9th inning of a one-run game to win the title. Absolutely amazing. The game of baseball put on a SHOW.
Jose Altuve made himself available in the clubhouse after the press conference. He was asked about the buzzers and immediately referred to the leagueโs investigation not finding anything instead of flat out saying they didnโt exist. The Astros used buzzers. No doubt in my mind.
Aaron Judge hitting 61 means something. When he hits 62, thatโll mean something, too. But unless he hits 74, Barry Bonds is still the Home Run King no matter what Roger Maris Jr. says. He donโt get to decide that.
I made my own equipment not because I don't need equipment but I don't know where I can get. And equipment is very expressive for me and I never miss my training with excuses of not having a glove or other equipment when I have Brain. I WANT TO PLAY BASEBALL โพ
Between Game of Thrones and the new Avengers movie, I have no fucking idea what anyone is ever talking about. I have never felt more out of the loop in my entire life.
Does anybody else find it odd that no Astros players apologized yesterday, even though they were legitimately found guilty by MLB? Itโs not just an allegation anymore. A simple, โYeah, we fucked up,โ would suffice. Instead, we got rah-rah speeches and rehearsed deflections.
Jeremy Peรฑa the ALCS and World Series MVP for the world champion Houston Astros! We now go live to Carlos Correa back in the studio to break it all down!
Mookie Betts has literally been sleeping in a chair at a hospital, rolled out the delivery room, showed up at the game five minutes after it started, played a position he hasnโt played in 12 years and looked like a Gold Glover doing it. Legend.
The Mets trading Scherzer to the Rangers and Verlander to the Astros is like when the Joker snapped that pool stick in half and made those two dudes fight to the death.
Remember the last time Joe Kelly got suspended and then he showed up to Fenway and went to the game as a fan in the bleachers? Just an absolute gem of a human being.
Trevor Bauer threw a complete game shutout, did the Conor McGregor strut after punching a dude out and then wore a โTrevor Bauer For Commissionerโ t-shirt to his press conference.
This is actually absurd. Max Scherzer just got checked AGAIN in the middle of the inning and is about to pull his pants down to get these people to leave him alone.
Sad to see Buster Posey go, but going out on your own terms with three rings, an MVP, every year of your career with the same team and balling out in your final season without needing a farewell tour is about as gangster as it gets.
While the baseball world anxiously awaits an update on one of the most beloved players to ever play the game, some positive vibes for David Ortiz. Everybodyโs pulling for you, Papi.
David Ortiz got voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame and Tom Brady retired from the NFL within four days of each other. That officially closes the book on my childhood.
Folks, I donโt know how weโre gonna top this one and itโs the second day of the college baseball season. Nick Kondo of Chapman University pulls out the damn telescope after lacing a dinger. Amazing. Iโm so proud. (BFG: 9.5)
Jeter being too cool for a cowboy hat is disappointing. Broโs bald. You donโt even have the excuse that itโll mess up your hair. Just put it on for the vibes.
The dude who got suspended for choking his girlfriend and firing off a gun is mocking the people who are getting suspended for cheating in a sporting event. Might wanna sit this one out.
Iโm throwing out the first pitch at Fenway Park for the first time in my life this weekend. Sunday Night Baseball. Red Sox-Yankees. I asked someone very special to catch for me. Got the thumbs up. I will be able to die happy after this.
Yu Darvish doesn't think the Astros should be able to keep their World Series title and thinks they should all stop talking. Keep in mind, Yuli Gurriel's racist mocking of Darvish was while Houston was stealing signs from the Dodgers in the World Series.
Every complimentary word youโve heard about Tim Wakefield, take that and multiply it by a million. Itโs all true. Genuinely one of the kindest, most selfless, caring and giving people Iโve ever met. Iโm heartbroken. All the love and condolences to his family. Rest in power, 49.
Red Sox 6, Yankees 2 โ The Red Sox have eliminated the Yankees and have won 8 of their last 9 postseason games against them dating back to Game 4 of the 2004 ALCS.
Hell of a run for Team Mexico. They beat up on Team USA, they knocked off Puerto Rico and they took Japan to the absolute limit. Theyโve got nothing to hang their heads about. Awesome showing for them.
After the final game of the season, perhaps his last game with the Red Sox, Brock Holt gave his bats away to fans waiting outside the playersโ lot. Heโs just the best, man.
Clev letting it rip on the Astros. Iโd imagine heโs not the only active player who feels this way, so props to him for putting a name and a face to it.
