Meredith Marakovits interviews Ivan Nova after his huge pitching performance

New York Yankees pitcher Ivan Nova pitched a complete game shutout on Saturday, as the Yankees defeated the Baltimore Orioles 2-0. So it was no big surprise when Brett Gardner snuck up behind him with a cooler full of Gatorade. Gardner has done this many times before, recently to Alfonso Soriano and Jayson Mix.

Chicago reporter - Josh Phegley drives in winning run

I'm getting a bit upset that I cannot find out any information about this reporter. It's kind of hard to figure out who she is, since you can only see her from the rear.
DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHO SHE IS? Could it be CSN Chicago reporter Jen Lada? Just a guess since she has dark hair and covers the White Sox...

I think its Jody Jackson watching Paul Goldschmidt's Bubblegum shower...

Diamondbacks first baseman Paul Goldschmidt got a post-game bubblegum shower courtesy of teammate Gerardo Parra on Tuesday night.   Goldschmidt had homered in the bottom of the ninth off Orioles closer Jim Johnson to tie the game and send it to extra innings.  Then Goldschmidt came up again to lead off the bottom of the 11th and promptly smashed a T.J. MacFarland fastball over the opposite-field fence for a walk-off homer.  I think he deserved 2 showers for that performance.

Jody Jackson leans away from the bubblegum, it's not like a Gatorate shower, right?

Anyone know who this is? Is it Jody Jackson?

With the score tied in the bottom of Monday's ninth inning, D-backs outfielder Adam Eaton launched the first pitch he saw from Darren O'Day over the right center field wall, notching his first career walk-off home run and helping to defeat the visiting Orioles. Eaton's teammates responded by giving him a bubblegum shower, a bubblegum helmet, a bear hug from a bobcat, a Gatorade shower, a towel to the face, and a slap on the tush. You can see the whole video here.

Julie Alexandria gets caught in Steven Strasburg's Gatorade Bath

Steven Strasburg posted his first career shutout, but Julie Alexander one-upped him by getting hit with Gatorade for at least the 4th time this season. Back-to-back on April 25 and April 26, and now again back-to-back, on August 10 and August 11. Washington Nationals sideline reporter looks like it is the most hazardous job in MLB. Last year Kristina Akra got similar treatment.
