They had a leaky roof at the basketball game the other day too.

When you only pay 79 cents on the dollar for the work, they're liable to take some shortcuts...

I missed posting this last week, but here is a bases clearing sac fly.

I love Diaz' quote too:

Quote

"I just saw the runner and thought I had a chance on that play," Diaz said. "When I saw the ball [sail] I just thought, 'Oh my God.' I'm going to continue to throw the ball. I'm going to make errors because I'm human. I just want to continue to be aggressive."

Apparently being "aggressive" is the cure to just about every issue in baseball.

Steve Gilbert on Twitter:

DBacks manager Torey Lovullo says Taijuan Walker has a “UCL injury”. Doesn’t know if it’s a tear. Says he was just told it was a UCL injury.

ETA: UCL tear; Taijuan will have Tommy John surgery and will be out for the year. Big loss for the DBacks.

Freddie Freeman was hit by a pitch on the wrist. Same wrist that he injured last year. He left the game (didn’t even wait for the trainers, just walked off the field). X-rays are pending.

The Indians and Twins are playing in Puerto Rico and it’s tied in the 14th, 0-0. Hasn’t that poor island suffered enough??

Aren’t they playing on generator power too? I saw there was an island-wide power outage.

Yep, got to be crazy getting to the hotel and back though in a blackout.

Yes. The stadium has two generators that provide 600 kilowatts. Each light bank has a separate generator that provides 200 kilowatts each.

I’m not sure it’s a good look to have all that power to a baseball game when the rest of the island has none.

Local kid pitched for the Twins, it was a big deal for them so I’m glad they let the game go on.

It’s great for the morale of the locals and it’s fantastic for the tourists (who will spend lots of money, which helps the locals). And we on the mainland need to see this, because we should be ashamed at how poorly our government has handled this. We should be up in arms. The more people who see this, the better.

That’s completely fair. I stand corrected. I have been to the island many times. This situation is breaking my heart.

Victor Arano of the Phillies has pitched 8 perfect innings of relief this year.

While playing for the AAA Columbus Clippers, Mike Napoli suffered a season-ending ACL tear with meniscus tear. At his age, and given the recent free agent markets, I can't help but imagine this becomes a career-ending injury.

White Sox reliever Danny Farquhar collapsed in the dugout yesterday and is in critical condition with a brain aneurism.

White Sox reliever Danny Farquhar lost consciousness while in the dugout between innings in last night’s game. He was taken to Rush Univ Hospital where he was diagnosed with a ruptured aneurysm in his brain. Terrifying. I hope he’s going to be ok.

Doctor Brother used to be part of the gameday medical services for the White Sox and the worst they ever got was fans with heatstroke, but thank goodness they had emergency medics onsite last night.

So two of the biggest things that affect mortality (other than location and degree of aneurysm) are time to medical intervention to limit brain injury and if further injury occurs when when the guy falls and hits his head. Apparently medical attention was immediate and his teammates were able to catch him and prevent him from falling. I’m hoping those bode well and he makes a full recovery.

Pretty cool no-hitter against the Sox.

Reportedly stable but still listed in critical condition...
