DENVER – German Marquez hit a home run off of Daniel Descalso. Read that sentence a couple of times. I mean, it makes sense. Like the sentence is structured correctly, there are clauses, a direct object, indirect one, a verb and a punctuation mark. The sentence is fine.
In terms of baseball, it’s certainly possible—like in the same way me going on a hike on Sunday morning is possible—but it’s wrong.
You have a pitcher who has never homered, hit his first career dinger—a 447 foot blast mind you—off of journeyman middle infielder.
