In lighter news, Dee Gordon went full anti-traditionalist and went sleeveless, untucked and wore his cap backwards the whole game.

You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and be a llama?



I think I've come up with the compromise solution to the DH everyone can agree with. Make the DH universal, but one at bat a game the starting pitcher has to hit, and one inning a game the DH has to pitch

Can the starting pitcher come out to hit after he’s already been pulled?

It’s turn ahead the clock night so who can say what sort of norms or traditions still even exist in 2027. For all we know he’s being extremely accurate for the proposed time period.

Dee tucked his shirt in for each at bat because the home plate ump ordered him to, but he untucked it as soon as he was back defending. None of the M's pitchers ever tucked it in.

Also, sleeveless Nelson Cruz made he realize how loving tremendous his biceps are.

Do you think Nelson shaves his arm pits as a rule or did he just do it for this game?

This is important.

Umps made batters tuck them in for the ‘98 game too. Something about giving an unfair advantage if the ball grazed the unis.

That actually makes sense and is a good reason to tuck in the uniform when at bat.

Otherwise, why would I really care if it's tucked in?

Your mother!

Yeah, as I recall, the rule about tucking in the jerseys is because otherwise there would be a ridiculously huge number of phantom HBPs (as well as a flailing jersey potentially obstructing catcher / umpire vision).
