    The D-backs' Ketel Marte didn't run on a game-ending double play and of course Jonathan Papelbon noticed

    While baseball does have its share of silly unwritten rules, the expectation for players to show effort is absolutely reasonable. And nearly nine years after Jonathan Papelbon's in-dugout altercation with Bryce Harper , he's still bothered watching players cost their teams by not running out ground balls. The Arizona Diamondbacks lost Wednesday afternoon's game against the Cardinals, 5-1. And though it was unlikely that the D-backs would have been able to put together a four-run, two-out rally, Ketel Marte should have at least been on first base to give Arizona the chance. Instead, he did this on a grounder to first base to end the game. ketel marte please run faster pic.twitter.com/U96MsEz4Um

  • Former Red Sox P Jonathan Papelbon shows off touching tribute to late teammate Tim Wakefield

    The Boston Red Sox lost an important part of their family last year when Tim Wakefield passed away after a battle with cancer. Wakefield was an incredible pitcher during his 19-year MLB career, and he made an even bigger impact off of the field with his work with numerous charities including the Jimmy Fund. Last week, Boston celebrated the 20th anniversary of the team's 2004 World Series championship as well as the career and life of Wakefield and his wife, Stacy, who also recently passed away from cancer. In his memory, former Red Sox pitcher Jonathan Papelbon, who is part of the team broadcasts, shared a new tattoo that pays tribute to his former teammate.
