I assume his contract had a bonus at 200 k's... the ump even gave him generous call for the K but ya meaningless game between two teams out of playoffs so who cares?

Guys who respect numbers and the game.

[MinnesotaFats]

Don't like it either

Team would have honored bonus if 1 K away

Integrity of sport in question when this garbage occurs

Need to remove statistical incentives from contracts and replace with grading (i.e. if player finishes within 5% of league leader in K's the X$$$), it's all relevant after all

[darrell74]

That was so bad.

[darrell74]

Called strike 3 was high and inside.
Comments on Twitter were funny

Earn it...then you don’t need this shit

[DrunkHorseplayer]

Absolute garbage from the players and the ump; this is one reason why some clowns are convinced that games are fixed.

Clowns?

A dropped ball on purpose is an example of a fix.

The Buccaneers did this once against the NY Jets.

The defense ran the opposite way to let the Jets score so the Bucs offense could have another shot at RB James Wilder breaking the record for most combined Rushing & receiving yards.

Jets knew and keyed on Wilder.

I believe Tampa coach and/or organization got fined and the Jets remembered the next time they played year or two later and beat the Bucs something's like 63-14

[Halfapointoff]

So 199 strikeouts isn’t an accomplishment, it has to be 200?

[JAKEPEAVY21]

not a fan at all

bush league

[RudyRuetigger]

Reminds me of the woman who broke her leg or something 2 points shy of an all time record

Next game the other team let her score 2pt layup

I think at uconn maybe

Pathetic

[Doug]

Why would the umpire know or care about this clause in a player's contract ?

The player likely makes in one season,more than the umpire makes lifetime.

[LT Profits]

While it was definitely no doubt a bush league move, this IS Mike Minor we are talking about after all who had a career year that he will probably never duplicate.

Easy dawg. Because the umpire is in the fix. Spot fixing 101

[MickeyMan]

Cringeworthy stuff Jesus Christ

[TheMoneyShot]

Just goes to show... any given wager.... at any given time... any player can screw it up intentionally.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

I always thought baseball was the last honest sport but after MLB mocked us with 9 runs 11 hits by the Mets on 9/11. I have a feeling MLB is all BS also.

[sourtwist]

It's called integrity

This is not good for the game...I don't care what the circumstances are

[sourtwist]

Cringeworthy stuff Jesus Christ

For real

What about pack letting stahan set the sack record, with guy who previously held it standing on sideline!! That was one the most pathetic things ever!

[2daBank]

Strahan sacking Favre for the sack record..

Most pathetic thing I ever seen. Hated Favre and pack from that point on.

Ricky Davis trying to get a triple double by shooting at his own basket

True, especially if you look at it like the player changed the true outcome of the game being influenced by money.

[QuantumLeap]

Beat me to it.

Lol. At least that was funny and wasn’t other players getting in on it!!

yeah, odd numbers are no good.

Exactly what I thought of. Total bush league.

It was UConn’s Nakysha Sales about 20 years ago. Tore her ACL when she was about to break school scoring record. Needed two points and the next game the opposing team let her shoot an uncontested layup in return for one of their own.


Can’t believe this happened in MLB.

You are reading it all wrong Archie.

If he catches that foul ball, the guy on third can tag up and run home.

He did the right thing there.

[KVB]

[kingdom]

can't believe this many people give a fukk on sept 26 of a baseball season lol.

[Mike Huntertz]

Who cares!
