Ump should be suspended immediately. Being wrong is one thing. Being confronted with the truth and saying that you don't care what the truth is is corrupt and reprehensible.

And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.
Re: MLB 2024
Yup! I really prefer this to getting to September within striking distance and not making it. A tailspin like that forces them to make decisions they would probably not make yet. That's how we got into the mess after the Biggio/Bagwell era. Of course, that mess led to one of the best runs by a team in MLB history, but I think there's probably a better way to do it.

Also, this may have happened - I keep waiting for a stat adjustment down but haven’t seen one yet…

Like I do and don't believe it? I can't see how its possible to do that off flat ground but also its EDLC and you don't see 1Bs miss many throws simply because "its too fast and high".

Re: MLB 2024
Me big braining at my fantasy draft:
Well, Harper was pretty good last year coming off the elbow issue but he sure wasn't his usual power self either. Probably best to let someone else assume the risk with Ohtani...
Me now: What the fuck. Fuck late March me.
Re: MLB 2024
I would guess Harper's 3.7 last year would probably be highest, which Ohtani should blow past by the ASG or slightly thereafter.

Re: MLB 2024
lol same. In our 8 team league Ohtani dropped to late *2nd* round. total overthinking that I brought up angrily last night as I was watching the first inning and seeing him destroy a ball to deep dead center for the 2nd straight game.

Re: MLB 2024
The crack off his bombs sounds totally unique. I feel like I can tell it’s him with my eyes closed. The one sound similar to his is early 2000s Bonds. And I think it’s high power and connecting on exactly the sweet spot, which was how Bonds hit them at his Superman-level peak.

Re: MLB 2024
I bet there's a time where I would have said that any home run could be caught barehanded, or atleast could be attempted. Stanton yesterday wipes that out. I would have been terrified.

Re: MLB 2024
It's crazy what Elly De La Cruz is doing yet the Reds are the worst hitting team in baseball at .209 and OBP .288.
Hitting overall is reaching historic lows. League avg of .239 at this point in the season is the 4th worst ever, 1908, 1909 and 1968.

It's down
I heard that the Red Sox are throwing only 30% fastballs. They are leading the league in team ERA throwing junk.

Re: MLB 2024
It's probably not going to be today (even though he's K'ed each of the first 6 Cubs he faced), but Paul Skenes is going to put up a 20-K game before his career finishes if he doesn't completely destroy his UCL multiple times.

Re: MLB 2024
The only thing that will stop him today is his pitch count.
Is the record for consecutive Ks still 10? That one could be in jeopardy.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.
Re: MLB 2024
I happened to check that very stat out. It’s still 10, first by Seaver in the early 70s, then both Aaron Nola and Corbin Burnes in 2021. It’s 9 straight to start the game, most recently by Adam Heaney just last year.Steve of phpBB wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2024 2:04 pmThe only thing that will stop him today is his pitch count.

Re: MLB 2024
According to B-Ref, Clemens had 8 in a row (albeit with a Error on a foul pop in the middle of it) in his first 20-K game against Seattle in 1986. In his 2nd against the Tigers in 1996 he had 5 in a row twice.Steve of phpBB wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2024 2:29 pmDid Clemens get 10 in a row in his 20-K game?L-Jam3 wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2024 2:16 pmI happened to check that very stat out.

Re: MLB 2024
I guess I was mixing up in my head the Seaver game, where he got the last 10 to set or tie the then-record of 19.
Anyway, I hope Pirates fans are enjoying today ...
Edit: It hurts to see Kyle Hendricks this bad.

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.

Re: MLB 2024
I know his bat combined with his contract is the massive complaint of the fanbase, but he was north of .200 for almost the last 90% of last year. It feels worse because he has been so weak with the stick this season.
