bautista can't really throw anymore with his hosed shoulder, but still weird considering pillar had to throw across his body

He's a 90% pull hitter so there's probably a lot of shifting going on against him I guess?

Does Manfred still want to make shifts illegal, or did he quietly drop it after everyone said how profoundly stupid it was?

i can't remember the last time i've seen him throw anyone out, certainly it isn't anything like he was 3 or 4 years ago

I'm an insufferable shitposter who does not deserve to root for such a good team. Also, this is what Matt Harvey thinks of me and my garbage posting.
Can John loving Neise hit his innings limit and go die somewhere?

"Mathman's not here." "Oh? Where is he?" "He's in the Mathroom."
This is what happens when a seriously underperforming team finally performs.

I don't get why reverting the strike zone to pre-2013 levels is out of the question. Like, its demonstrably bigger and lower than what it was, so why go after shifts, which has been a part of baseball forever

he's been extremely good and I hope they can resign him for the next few years but he wont be cheap at this rate

Manfred literally dropped his stance on shifts as soon as everyone freaked out about it. It's not going to happen.

I'm really glad that, if we can make it past the loving Cubs in the stupid WC game, the Pirates won't have to play really bad teams in the playoffs, because they constantly make us look like Little Leaguers

If you're going to put in Loup now, it'd save everyone's time to just forfeit the game.
