Re: MLB 2024
This creates a literal trilemma for Soto in this instance: 1. If he takes the most direct route back to 2nd base, he risks making contact with the SS, so he'd get called for interference and be declared OUT. 2. If he goes around the SS to go back to 2nd base, he risks running out of the basepath so ...

Not that I can watch today but feel like we got robbed not getting Skenes v Skubal (Skubal pitching G1 and Skenes G2) I just turned to this game. Is this being played behind closed doors? There’s literally no one at the ballpark. ETA: never mind. I just saw. Lightning risk. It just passed so the fa...

I feel like they added something to the record at least a couple years ago. They counted Josh Gibson and Oscar Charleston’s Triple Crowns in the Negro Leagues as bona fide Triple Crowns.

Re: MLB 2024
The runner also has a right to his basepath. Like you can't plow through a SS in the act of fielding a grounder and claim rights, but the SS going forward on a popup and the runner going back to the base ... makes no sense. Especially when an infield fly is an automatic out to the batter-runner. Ev...

Re: Swamp Travel Guide: Black and Yellow
I sat on the 3rd base side, and had a decent view of the skyline. To see the Clemente bridge better you should probably sit on first base. A really cool thing to check out there is outside on the waterfront (outside the stadium) they have balls with reproduced signatures of the city's baseball past,...

Never say never, but the criminal defendant should almost NEVER take the stand in their own defense. There's too much that can go wrong.

If my math is right, they’re working on 126 seasons without a title, and it’s the same drought for even reaching the final round. The last to reach the finals from the Twin Cities was the 1991 Twins.

Re: MLB 2024
Normally I would say for a veteran pitcher he stays in if he's having the start like he's having, i.e. the number of hits allowed, but by no means should he come back out here for the 7th. Go to the showers with an 8-0 lead and 11 Ks, 1 BB through 6.

I like that Biden is challenging him to debate(s), but it’d be even more fun if he professional called him a pussy, and point out that he never showed his tax returns like he said he would, so he doesn’t expect him to show up because, again, he’s a pussy.
