I agree. Plus the fan in the background that also starts jumping.

Yah the jumping was funny as hell but the finger point at the end when the umps gum falls out of his mouth is pure gold.

Jeff Francoeur just caught a ball a few feet from the warning track near the RF line and with zero forward momentum towards his target launched a ball 320 feet in the air to the catcher to nearly nail the tagging runner from 3rd. Possibly the most impressive highlight of the year that didn't get the out. If the catcher blocks it better it's unmatched.
I don't think Ankiel could've done that without any forward momentum.

Mine does this often when trying to connect to the HD version. I have no problems though when I try the non-HD version.

Cool story about the Reds recent call-up, Mike Costanzo. I'm a sucker for these kind of stories.

Fun Fact....when Giancarlo Stanton hits a 73 mph pitch from Jamie Moyer and the scoreboard gets smashed by the ball on a line drive.....Ironman92 is very impressed.
I would like Sports Science to jump on that one and tell me how hard that ball hit the scoreboard 430 feet away. I say if he gets some elevation to that shot it sails over 500 feet.

And Mark TaSharra's batting average hits a cool 227. But, but, but,...the Yanks would never trade him..."and screw up their offense". LMAO

For a closer, no they wouldn't.

No one said they wouldnt trade him. In fact, I wouldnt be surprised if they did at some point. But they arent trading him for a closer, especially one who is probably around the 10th best in the league (very good, but not great).

Stanton's HR was 122.4 mph off the bat....the fastest in HR tracker history (since 2006)
