Or maybe not?

League reached out to the White Sox, per source. Essentially told them the obstruction call to end the game should not have been made. There IS some discretion there. https://t.co/gxCSWcXwb2 — Jesse Rogers (@JesseRogersESPN) May 24, 2024

It’s fun that Judge has decided to do his best Bonds impression this month. 1.489 OPS

GrantDawg · 05-26-2024, 01:47 PM

Ronald Acuna went down with a non-contact knee injury. Doesn't look good.

GrantDawg · 05-26-2024, 04:01 PM

Acuna says it didn't feel like a tear. He said it felt more like his hyper-extension in 2018 that had him out a month or so. Hopefully that is the case.

GrantDawg · 05-26-2024, 09:17 PM

Well f. It is a complete ACL tear and Acuna will miss the rest of the season.

I'm hearing total tear

RainMaker · 05-26-2024, 11:49 PM

That's some really crappy news. The guy is a blast to watch.

I was watching that game live and pretty well knew his season was over. Whenever you see an athlete, with no one around them drop like they’ve been shot with a rifle, it is bad news.

I’m sure Greg Brown was absolutely befuddled on the audio call.

Angel Hernandez retired on a questionable call.

And it is like Christmas on social media.

Wow, this is amazing. I don't think I've ever heard of any umpire retiring immediately. So amazing.

MLB probably got rid of him for some amount similar to the cost of one Bobblehead night per team. Should have happened to him years ago.

I love that his agent texted someone from the Athletic to say "He was NOT forced out." OK.

I didn't read it, but the timing is interesting seeing as Athletic just did what sounded like a puff piece on him. Either it was a way to get a friendly story out about him as his career ended, or an attempt to save his job by getting his human interest story crap out in the public.

I still think the Athletic is good value and I would pay for it just for its NHL draft and prospects coverage plus nostalgic 90s soccer stories, but it’s very noticeable that since the acquisition they go more towards the edgy/controversial topics to try to drive engagement and clicks. Lots of borderline troll pieces by local writers that seem to be something you’d read on Grantland which I tend to just ignore.

They did a puff piece on Scott Foster right before they did one on Hernandez. My guess is they will do Tim Peel next.
