Sometimes I miss Gibby

 

Sometimes?!?!?!

[Spanky__99]

If we happen to be wrecking them this game, they probably knows what's coming after the 7th

 

Nah, they had Saucedo's card, not a big deal all this, it's gamemanship to get in their heads. Still dicks for not giving it back initially.

[Spanky__99]

He took it.

 

He lied about not knowing what it was.

 

He handed it off to someone else in his dugout to conceal it.

 

He lied after the fact about it.

 

He hasn't given it back.

 

He should get beaned at some point in the future.

 

Absolutely.

[Spanky__99]

Only sometimes?

 

Faaack... beat me to it.

[TheHurl]

I actually agree with you. A beaning is warranted here.

 

Exactly what Hentgen said today too. KK should take it and understand why....the score being what it is right now might allow for it to happen in 2021 as well.

Do I win something for calling it? Lol

The ball wasn't in Borucki's possession when it hit Kiermaier. Based on Kevin's rules of baseball he can't be at fault, it's anyone's ball now.

Kiermaier said there have been other incidents involving the cards, which have become standard equipment for most players. He noted that last week his fell out after a slide into second and Detroit infielder Niko Goodrum tried to grab it. “I jokingly just put my foot on it and said, ‘You can’t have it,” Kiermaier said.

This seems hypocritical.

These are American references. It would vary state to state but I don't think any states just have a basic "finders keepers" principle as the law.

 

The cases are probably interesting. The way it works with stuff like this is that you have your general principle and then exceptions. E.g.:

 

- Trash put to the curb is deemed abandoned

- Chattels you leave in a house when you sell it or move out are deemed abandoned

Because it's all gamesmanship and s*** for fans and media to talk about.

This isn't WWE, Hurl. This is serious.

 

I hope Montoyo shows up to Kiermaier's home at 3 in the morning and plays the bongos outside his window.

I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy! You're evil.

KK on no sleep ... does his eyes go from dreamy to soothing?

Kevin Kiermaier epitomizes Rays baseball the same way Derek Jeter epitomizes Yankees baseball. And that's why he should be kicked out of the MLB and the Rays franchise contracted.
