In 2018 we were up 10-2 against the Cubs in the 4th. We started playing âstation to stationâ on the bases the rest of the game. They scored 9 runs in the 8th and we lost 14-10.

If @MLB is adamant about making sure the calls on the field are indeed correct, then the replay crew in New York shouldnât know what call was made when they are asked to review a play.

The year is 89â and itâs the ECF. Bulls are up 2-1 vs the Pistons. Game 4: Jordan scored 11 points over the last 3 Qâs of the game. Game 5: Jordan scored 1 point in the 4th and loses by 9 (took 8 shots in 46 minutes). Game 6: Jordan scores 6 in then 4th and gets eliminated

So. a hitter can just charge the mound if a pitcher is dealing? đ€đ€đ€. âThAtâS bAsEbAlLâ.
I completely get Ronald Acuna getting drilled. He's led off 3 games w/HR's. Sometimes he showboats a bit. This is how the other team evens the playing field & makes him less comfortable. It all falls under the heading of "That's baseball.".

Well. in my 129 career at bats I have hit with a grand total of 77 runners on base. This is where the analytics get involved. But youâre correct Ryan, if I had drove in 100 of those 77 runners Iâd probably be in a much better spot.
Right on. Sounds, if you drove in 100 runs or more, your career wouldn't be different right now?? Just wondering.

You could take a live at bat in the bullpen and wouldnât hit a baseball over a wall.
I could maybe score a touchdown. I could luck into a home run. I could probably get two points in an NBA game. I could play hundreds of games of hockey and never, ever score a goal. It looks impossible.

This is such an important skill for catchers today. Can take a 2-1 count to a 1-2 count. One stolen strike can change the whole at bat.

Braves won 2 games in this nlds but this really was an awful all-around performance: star player didnât hustle in 1 run game then hotdogged later in game, late add to roster was put in key, game-deciding spot (he lost) and they didnât show at all for elimination game.

Statistically speaking the Aâs have the second best offense in the MLB. Aâs also have a 31% hard-contact rate up to this date, which is 1 in MLB. Take it from a career replacement level player when I say this tweet falls well short of the replacement level tweet standard.

This makes me appreciate @Mooose_8 even more. Moose pulled me to the side after my first MLB call-up and said. âif anybody gives you a hard time or tries to make you do some stupid shit, let me knowâ.
This is real because when I got called up in 2017 they did a good job of making me feel like I wasnât a part of the team. Bad feeling when you solo dolo in a clubhouse! I wonât forget that feeling and I always make sure now that NOT ONE young guy feels left out! YOURE ONE OF US!.

Did the cost of beer around the league lower in 2018 since the average player salary lowered from 2017 along with MLB eclipsing 10B in revenue for the first time in league history? I canât seem to remember.
Seeing baseball people saying that the Angels got a bargain in Mike Trout. Lay off the Kool Aid folks. Trout is a fantastic player. but he (and others) are why a beer costs $12 at the ballpark.
