Mike Matheny tried his damn hardest to give away that one. I expect the B-team to start tomorrow.

Did anyone else just see Marte try to field a ball in the corner while holding his glove in his throwing hand?

I believe he actually was switching it to his throwing hand because he realized it would give him a better chance to stop the ball from going past him, and the ball was moving too quick for him to bring his left hand down. Which for as poorly as he played the ball is incredible that he reacted that quickly to try and prevent what ultimately happened. This guy has been one of the best defenders so far in the league so you probably won't see him make the same mistake twice.

I just want to hear his reasoning, especially to his teammates. Shit would be hilarious ...

Heading into that July 1999 game, both NYY & ATL were leading their divisions:

Glavine (7-8, 4.14 ERA, 69 SO in 130.1 IP)
Clemens (8-3, 4.70 ERA, 81 SO in 88 IP

Glavine got the W that day.


Thursday, Tampa & Toronto playing beneath expectations:

Dickey (2-5, 5.36 ERA, 33 SO in 42 IP)
Price (1-3, 6.25 ERA, 40 SO in 44.2 IP)

Bryce was mouthy, got tossed by Hercbeck on a check swing call. First time he's been tossed from a game, no?
