D-backs Comeback Falls Short with Game Ending Base Running Mistake
As a former infielder, coach, and manager for many decades, Torey Lovullo saw the play unfolding in front of him and knew what was going to happen. This is how he described his view: As soon as the ball bounced that second time, I knew Corbin was not going to be out of first base. Just too much speed there. Dansby’s a crafty player. He’s very heady, and he was very aware of that. I saw the play happening before he actually was faking that throw, because as soon as that second bounce happened, my clock was very aware of it, and so was Dansby, and we got clipped.”
Here is the play that ended the game:
Oops, wrong link. (sarcasm)
You cannot make this mistake. Ugh man. What a heart breaking ending to a game.

“It’s definitely something that doesn’t come easy for everyone. Got a lot of time to think about your at-bats in-between. I found sort of a routine of getting to go into the cage, getting to swing in between so I’ve taken some advantages from it for sure. I do like it, especially when you good nights at the plate. The harder nights when you don’t play well, it’s definitely harder because you feel like you did nothing. Nights like tonight, it’s good,” Smith said.
Diamondbacks, young players share risks, rewards with contract extensions
“I’m able to go out there and compete every fifth day with the peace of mind and go out there and do my job,” Pfaadt said on Friday. “So I think that had a big play in it. There’s a lot of things we can avoid later on, just move on and and go out there and compete.”
“It means a lot,” Martinez stwaid in Spanish on Monday. “That says a lot to me. This was the team that gave me the opportunity to sign from the Dominican Republic. … It’s our future. I reached out to my parents, and the first thing my mom did was open a bottle of wine.”

Ramírez (wrist sprain) exits after awkward slide; Guardians will reassess
Ramírez grounded out to second baseman Michael Massey on the next pitch. He informed the team he couldn’t continue playing soon after.
“He felt it the innings after [the slide],” Vogt said. “It was one of those things where he didn’t feel like he was going to help us. That’s credit to him for coming to tell us that. He’s a pro.”

2019 – In a very rare occurrence, position players take the mound for both teams in the Dodgers’ 18 – 5 win over the Diamondbacks. The two teams’ bullpens are worn out after playing a 13-inning game the previous night, so with a large deficit in the 7th, Arizona sends back-up catcher John Ryan Murphy to pitch, and he gives up seven more runs in two innings. The Dodgers then ask their own back-up catcher, Russell Martin, to close out the win in the 9th, and he obliges by setting down the side on ten pitches.
People in New England though tuberculosis was vampirism.
The 19th century was the height of the “New England Vampire Panic.” during this time, people thought that “consumption” (what they called Tuberculosis) was spread by vampires. People would even would dig up Tuberculosis victims and stake them through the heart.
