2025 ATL Thread - Burnes to have TJ surgery

1. Freeman is insane. Have not been watching, but following, and this is a crazy feat.
2. Being able to bat Ohtani, Betts, Freeman is absolutely preposterous and **** stupid. I don't know why I watch baseball*.

* It's because I love it, unfortunately.

What in the hell? Could have easily injured Mookie's hand there. That's just incredibly messed up, hope that dude spends a night in jail.

Fans interfering is part of the game but you can't grab players like that. They'll probably never be able to go to a game ever again.

The Yankees have already said that they'll be allowed back in the stadium for the next game. :nonono:

MLB needs to step in and insist on player safety IMO.

Capobianco, a Yankees season-ticket holder, said he knew he would be in trouble but chose to grab and open Betts' glove nonetheless, telling ESPN that he and Peter often discuss this exact scenario: If a foul ball comes their way, they're going to do what they can to help their team.

"We always joke about the ball in our area," Capobianco, 38, said at a local bar after the game. "We're not going to go out of our way to attack. If it's in our area, we're going to 'D' up.

"Someone defends, someone knocks the ball. We talk about it. We're willing to do this."

Betts, who was visibly frustrated in the moment, downplayed the incident after the game.

"When it comes to the person in play, it doesn't matter," Betts said. "We lost. It's irrelevant. I'm fine. He's fine. Everything's cool. We lost the game and that's what I'm kind of focused on. We got to turn the page and get ready for tomorrow."

The Dodgers had a two-run lead at the time on Freddie Freeman's two-run homer, but the Dodgers were unable to complete a sweep and took an 11-4 loss to the Yankees.

"I've never seen anything like it," Dodgers rookie pitcher Ben Casparius said. "It's pretty interesting. It was obviously very early in the game so I think it kind of set the tone."

Capobianco and Peter were escorted out of Yankee Stadium but said they were told they would be allowed back for Game 5 on Wednesday. The Yankees did not immediately respond to ESPN's request for comment regarding if that was indeed the case.

"I know when I'm in the wrong and as soon as I did it, I was like, 'Boys I'm out of here,'" Capobianco told ESPN. "I patrol that wall and they know that."

Offering up your name to the media and noting that it was effectively premeditated is certainly a choice.

Have never heard of Joe Davis before tonight. This is the best Fox can do?

Really happy for the Dodgers man. Makes you feel inspired what you can accomplish when you have unlimited money.

If the Dodgers are gonna win it, I'm glad that it's in a way that's inflicting maximum pain on New York.

That was one of the best baseball playoffs ever...

Blake Snell to the Dodgers. Sure, why not.

MLB remains the worst. What's even the point?

The only thing baseball has going for it is that baseball is fluky enough that the Dodgers could still lose in the playoffs.

A team allowed to buy 7 superstars in the NBA probably has like a 90% chance of at least getting to the finals, football not far behind, though single elimination helps there.
