They had great respect for the history of the Reds. Many stopped us to talk about where they were when Fisk hit the HR and how the Reds crushed their dreams . Did not hear 1 rude comment the whole day. Boston police officer paid for our breakfast at Mike's City Diner the morning of the game. Cannot say enough good things about the people of Boston Great to hear! So often people get an misunderstanding of a city or fans....are Boston fans passionate? Yep. No doubt. Only been to Fenway once. My experience was similar....all really good fans. I'll say it again....I run into more problems with my own teams (Cubs/Bears) than Red Sox or even Yankees for that matter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud2BAHoosier Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 Matt Carpenter does it again in helping the Yanks beat Ohtani and the Angels in Game #1, 6-1!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 Reds beat the Nationals 8-1 Hunter Green and Nick Ladollo were the rookie put jets with all the hype but Graham Ashcraft might be the best rookie put her. To ight went 7 innings giving up 1 run on 4 hits. Through 3 starts he is 2-9 with a ERA of 1.53. He throws around 97-100 mph but doesn't strike out a lot but guys don't make great contact either.

Gotta love my Twins and time for another unlikely run! One of my favorite World Series (besides 2016) ever. Ended up writing a paper at IU about that team. The whole market, underdog, working as a team,etc....narrative. IIRC they only had 2 guys making 7 figures. Some unknown guy named Kirby came out of nowhere the year before and they made a trade for a player to be named later who turned out to be Gardenhire. PS....beating the Cardinals was an added plus too. Haha. Edited June 4, 2022 by Seeking6 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stlboiler23 Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 Umpiring has been brutal. Cards just got screwed on a strike 3 call that wasn’t even close when bases were loaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never showed up in a boxscore, but Knoblach's fake kept Lonnie Smith from scoring on Pendleton's double...

TheWatShot Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 As if I needed any more confirmations that the baseball teams I root for are junk this year and just all around ridiculous, the Fort Wayne Tincaps managed to hit into an 8-6-2-5-3-5 triple play last night, the first triple play in minor league baseball this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
