It's still September 30th in all the time zones that aren't lovely but I'm going to bed soon and I tend to sleep super late on Saturdays so I just wanted to get the thread up now instead of at like 5pm when I finally remember to do it after watching Civ VI videos/streams all day.

EDIT: Looks like it won't matter since the Dodgers seem content to lay down and die to the Giants. I hope they meet in the NLCS and the Giants sweep them.

This would mean the Cubs losing in the LDS to the Giants which I am 100% down for.

Byron Buxton went from home to home in 14.05 seconds on an inside the park homerun as a right handed batter.

I only just noticed them this year. Dumb as hell that that counts for a home run. But I also lived through two Series' at the Metrodome, so I'm really not one to talk.

I'm trying really hard to figure out what you mean by this because nothing in the Metrodome extended over the field of play.

Target Field has an overhang in right, but there's no way in Hell it would change a ball from an out to an HR.

The Dome was notorious for its weird home-field quirks is all I'm saying. The turf, the plexiglas, the HVAC, the roof; it's all sorts of weirdness. I'm saying I don't get to bitch about silly architectural features that determine what is or isn't a home run.

I'm not sure those are that weird but I grew up with it :shrug:

Something extending the height of the wall is certainly very different from something that extends slightly over the field of play, at least.

The overhang is deeper the farther left you go, so I could see a "cheap" one landing on the center-field side of it.

Yeah, this is what I was referring to. I don't remember when it happened but I do remember it happening.

THAT'S why it's relevant; just because the drought doesn't mean anything to you and your "EYBS" team doesn't mean it's not incredibly meaningful to millions of other people.

No? But they did win the series two days later.

And people say it broke Lidge because he was bad in the WS as well after that moonshot. But as someone already mentioned, he was very good for the Phillies in 08.

The moonshot was in 2005. It took two full years and a new team for him to recover.

It was a little high, I suppose, but true center-field is so much better than the traditional.

This owns what kind of dummy would hate this.

It makes every pitch look low.

And the offset angle makes every pitch look like it's farther left than it actually is, and I'd prefer the former about a billion times more than the latter.

It's probably be discussed a billion times but how is Urias pick off move not a balk?

Looks to me like Urias is breaking the plane of the rubber before throwing to 1st.

He breaks the front plane but not the back. They'll probably have to redefine it because that really should have been a balk.

The balk rule really needs to be rewritten. All pickoff throws are meant to deceive the runner, that's the whole point of a pickoff throw.

1c-a. The pitcher is not allowed to do a motion to the, uh, batter, that prohibits the batter from doing, you know, just trying to hit the ball. You can't do that.
1c-b. Once the pitcher is in the stretch, he can't be over here and say to the runner, like, "I'm gonna get ya! I'm gonna tag you out! You better watch your butt!" and then just be like he didn't even do that.
1c-b(1). Like, if you're about to pitch and then don't pitch, you have to still pitch. You cannot not pitch. Does that make any sense?
1c-b(2). You gotta be, throwing motion of the ball, and then, until you just throw it.
1c-b(2)-a. Okay, well, you can have the ball up here, like this, but then there's the balk you gotta think about.
1c-b(2)-b. Fairuza Balk hasn't been in any movies in forever. I hope she wasn't typecast as that racist lady in American History X.
1c-b(2)-b(i). Oh wait, she was in The Waterboy too! That would be even worse.
1c-b(2)-b(ii). "get in mah bellah" -- Adam Water, "The Waterboy." Haha, classic...

Rizzo can get zero hits on the bench just as well as he can in the lineup.

I say give him one more game. I'm not expecting 3 hits or anything, but at least some good AB's and a few hard-hit balls or start someone else at 1B for Game 4. He's killing us.

I more meant why wasnt this acted upon earlier than it was

When the stitches popped he was hiding it by holding it against his dark jersey (so the blood wouldn't show) and it took a few pitches for the information to get down to the dugout so the Jays manager could go to the ump and be like "yo he's bleeding a lot"
