lol, that hug was a funny and weird moment. i'm imagining there were plenty of cubs bros who were mad at baez for showing any sort of affection for a player on the other team during a wild card game, though. and although it wouldn't be a big deal the vast majority of the time, once of the announcers (i forget who) was correct in noting that it shouldn't be allowed to do that during a live play, because one of the runners on first or second could have tripped and fallen on the basepaths (for example) and arenado would've been hindered from throwing him out.

While I agree that the hug shouldn't happen while the ball is live, Arenado seemed intent on not making a play and went for the hug as much as Baez did.

would that be ruled differently if Arenado was trying to make a play? I remember the announcers bringing up something like that.
on a related note, Prince Fielder chatting up everyone who made it to first was one of my favorite things about him. Baseball's kind of a funny sport like that. in football and basketball it's natural to dislike the man who's on you because they're always in your face and/or shoving you around. you don't really get that in baseball.

doubtlessly that Arenado/Baez moment has inspired some solid slashfic.

i had to figure out why you dropped CBTorture in there, Will.

Is Liam Hendricks the only pitcher to go winless during the regular season and start a playoff game?

Don't know the Yankees but I probably would have tried to take third there

A's payroll: more or less the equivalent of 2 yankees relievers + their DH + their entire disabled list.

6th largest payroll, 100m plus than the Oakland A's.
It's not like we aren't consistent, most of us here cheered against the Cubs last night.
