MLB 13 Runs 2015...way early.....

Was there a first team to get hacked LIF? My 'stros haven't been able to win anything else.

(But still hoping for that 12)

 

@PA-Michigander 's "First player to HR 2 off CMU Josh Collmenter" goes to @Auslander for the June 7th game.
HR: Granderson 2 (8, 1st inning off Collmenter 0 on, 0 Out; 5th inning off Collmenter 0 on, 0 Out)

 

Don't see this on the spreadsheet, but wasn't there a LIF for first guy to get tossed for stepping out of the box? Technically that's a fine and not an ejection, but this just happened (text taken from Giants beat writer twitter (Hank Schulman):

I do believe Pagan was just tossed mid-at-bat.
Looks like he griped when Hirschbeck told him to get into the box after ball one, under speed up rules. Then Pagan barked after strike two.

 

My Boston Red Sox finally trigger a box. Brock Holt hit for the cycle!

 

Nice win @Auslander!

 

I went back and watched the entire at bat.(mlb.tv) pagan was barking at the ump the entire time after the 1-1 count. He was thrown out while he was standing in the box waiting on the pitch, while running his mouth. He was out of the box two pitches prior to that but didnt get tossed.
here is Mlb's official stat on the game:CF PAGAN EJECTED BOT 8TH (ARGUING BALLS & STRIKES)

I want to defer to everyone in here on a decision. I dont mind sending a box. I just want to get a consensus.

 

I don't have them (this year ) but I thought Bryce Harper was ejected for leaving, or maybe for not entering the batters box soon enough. Might also be outside the scope of the LIF

 

That is what inspired the LIF.
Here is my post:

"I thought of making this a LIF but never thought it would happen due to the ridiculousness of the rule, but thanks to Bryce Harper I will pull the trigger.

Any player that gets thrown out of a game for being out of the batters box between pitches; their team will get a nice box of goodies from me."

 

Orioles have 13 in the fourth

 

at least you can count on the phillies for something

 

Nationals are two runs away

 

Nationals now at 13 and Orioles at 17. Phillies down 14 runs. Need to give up 1 more run for the lose by 15 run LIF.

 

Did that LIF require a loss by exactly 15 runs or at least 15 runs? Phils lost by 16.

 

15 or more, you won it !!

 

2 LIFs knocked out today

 

Awesome... the utter ineptitude of my favorite team comes through in the clutch yet again!

Very happy to win a LIF, but the sadness of how pathetic the Phils are is starting to take a toll.

 

@tommyguz better bring some fun stuff back from vacation to pack in that LIF haha

 

Better drink those sorrows, Kevin.

 

@Dicers PM me your address, I have two boxes to go out Mon/Tues when I get back from this week away, so I will try to make yours happen then as well!

 

Someone is going to hit this...any day now. I think all teams have now played over 60 games.
