Favorite bizarre moment from your team

Re: Favorite bizarre moment from your team

Anyways has Stieb confirmed that he was rooting against Halladay that day? I don't think he did but it's not surprising if true. I know that when Morrow nearly threw his No-No Stieb was very appreciative of his effort and drove home the fact that it's one of those things where you may never come that close again.

Yup...as you said he mellowed out a bit now, but he was pacing and muttering to himself like no tomorrow. Everyone else in the bullpen was just avoiding him (if you're wondering why I know this, I was right over the bullpen...when they show the Higginson HR you can see me in the first row).

I forgot another one. John Frascatore throwing a wild pitch on an IBB to cost the Jays a win against Detroit.

One of my other favorites, in 2006 top of 10th Marlins/Orioles. O's try to intentionall walk Miguel Cabrera but he reaches across the plate to hit the game winning rbi single

It wasn't professional but in the 2008 Super Regional UCI pulled the hidden ball trick against LSU and still didn't actually get the runner out.

He was called out, but the ump was not paying full attention to the runner and was (obviously) sold on his acting

The hell? That wasn't even close.

See, we can agree sometimes.

Re: Favorite bizarre moment from your team

Watching the Twins at the dome, you saw a lot. Whether it was outfielders losing the ball or towering pop ups dropping after hitting a speaker.

But watching Prince Fielder chug around for an inside the park home run after Lew Ford lost a high fly ball in the roof has to be up there. I feel confident in saying that will be the only one of those in his career.

You do know that he had another one in 2008, right?

I just found it. Alex Rios literally stopped playing, complaining that the ball was lodged in the wall.

Add that one to your list, Jays fans.

Oh man, I now remember that play...Rios was and is a bum.

Re: Favorite bizarre moment from your team

Easily, and I mean EASILY it was when Ryan Howard got into a feud with an ump (the ump was being immature and mocking Howard, wish I had the gif), and eventually tossed Howard. He had to be restrained by like 3 guys, and it forced ROY OSWALT to come in and play left, and make the 1st out of the next inning.

Here is a gif of him being IRATE:



Still looking for the one of the ump


Just look at his face, he loves it


First out




EDIT: I found a still of the ump mocking Howard, not gif yet

Re: Favorite bizarre moment from your team

Here's another one from Blue Jays lore unfortunately no video and the lone picture I can find is not all that great but i've seen the video on TV numerous times and it's just bizarre. George Bell gets hit by a pitch by Boston's Bruce Kison, he starts going nuts, runs out and KARATE KICKS Kison!

Re: Favorite bizarre moment from your team

I was only 5 or 6 when this happened, and it was before my time in Minnesota, but how can we forget about this? If Hrbek was paying attention, he totally could have caught that on the fly and he would have gotten away with it.

Am I missing something here? How was he mocking Howard?

Re: Favorite bizarre moment from your team

That's why I needed a gif. He called the that Howard went around and Howard disagreed and kind of shrugged his shoulders at him like "Are you kidding me?" and the Ump did the same thing like mocking him. You can't tell in the pic

EDIT: Still no gif or video, but here is a write up about it

http://www.baseballdailydigest.com/2010/08/25/column-to-be-named-later-the-scott-barry-show/

But Scott Barry thought otherwise. Like a skilled hunter, Barry baited his prey early in the at-bat. After Howard put his hands on his hips — frustrated by an accurate Barry call on a check swing — the umpire mocked Howard by placing his hands on his hips and staring down the Phillies’ first baseman. The stare down continued as the at-bat continued. Four pitches later, Howard checked his swing again (this time not going around) and Barry rung him up. In disgust, Howard threw his bat down the line and began walking to first. From roughly 120 feet away, Barry sent the Phillies’ slugger to the showers with an uncalled-for ejection.
