Of course you want to see a horror movie starring Brian McRae, Jim Leyritz and Billy Sample

Well, I did watch McRae’s 1999 season, Leyritz hit off Wohlers on the 1996 series (and his vehicular homicide trial) and almost every game Billy Sample did as a Braves TBS broadcaster in the 1980s, so I have already seen their horrors.

But this is different: an actual movie, currently in production, with those three former baseball great-, er, luminar-, er figures in supporting roles. The plot synopsis:

“A vigilante serial killer is stalking, killing and burying those he has judged guilty and anyone in this corrupt town could be next! Murder, Mayhem, Blood, Deception & NO way out are a few ways to describe this disturbing new heart pounding thrill ride.”

Here’s the IMDb page in all of its glory, for lack of a better term.

Giants catcher Buster Posey will likely undergo season-ending surgery on his ailing right hip, which has bothered him since May, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Executive VP of baseball operations Brian Sabean said it’s a “safe assumption” that Posey will go under the knife. The procedure would clean out bone spurs and address the labrum, which is the soft tissue around the hip socket.

Posey didn’t start Sunday’s game and went 1-for-6 on Monday against the Mets. He’s batting .286/.360/.386 with five home runs and 40 RBI in 439 plate appearances this season. It will go down as his least productive season among those in which he has appeared in 100 games.

Nick Hundley would take over full-time catching duties if Posey were to have his season cut short. Hundley has performed decently, hitting .247/.296/.452 with nine homers and 30 RBI in 199 PA.
