No maybe about it, Nebraskan.

I bet it sounds really weird too, not having that background murmur of the crowd.

Gary Thorne called an Adam Jones double like a golf shot at Augusta.

See: Any Florida Marlins game!

And another Royal actually gets hit in the head. Meanwhile, their teammate is the only one serving a suspension for it, and he didn't even hit anyone.

Whaaaa. Seems to me the Royals are the common denominator.

The Royals have got hit 20 times in 21 games and not one single warning has been issued to the opposing team. Two of those have been in the head. I know what the national narrative is and I know Ventura is the spark of three incidents. That narrative isn't telling everything.

That White Sox incident is almost entirely on Samardjia. He smoked Lorenzo Cain on opening day and was never even given a warning and talked shit right up until things blew up in the next series. You're not hearing that on ESPN.

it was funny because I heard some clapping and then they showed about 15 dudes all pressed up against a gate in the outfield. So the game actually did have about 15 fans and 3 scouts watching (besides the media in the press boxes)

They still played music in the stadium, but yeah...it was weird being able to loudly hear the pop of the glove on every pitch and throw.

The O's already dont spend as much money as they can, so if it means we score 8 runs and Ubaldo pitches like a champ, I'm okay with an empty stadium on a regular basis.

Ventura's idol is Pedro so he ain't changing his ways any time soon. And I say great. Baseball needs more personalities like him.

This is on Samardjia though and apparently goes back to him being an A last year. He has something out for the Royals.

The Marlins are only allowing season ticket holders to watch Marlins batting practice.

Seems like a shitty owner thing to do. I wonder if the Monforts discussed it?
