C'mon Sportsnet. Since when does the Blue Jay game take a backseat to the friggin' Yankees. At least put the game on SN1.
 
Wait, Hunter Pence was hit by a ball and called out, but then they showed the rules that said when a runner is hit by a batted ball the batter takes first and runners are advanced if forced. So why was he called out?

I'll fully admit that I'm not a baseball expert in the slightest.

Somebody needs to punch Hurdle in the throat.

Also, the Pirates are likely going to go on a slide. 4/5ths of the rotation we came into the season with are injured due to Burnett being placed on the DL :/ And it's not like we've been getting by on our offense.

Edit: Zagurski has to be the worst person to ever pitch in baseball.
