If I had a dollar for every time I ran into "Invalid character in title" while doing a change, I'd have... a bunch of dollars.

in my current OOTP game, Joey Gallo wound up with 700+ HRs, a career OPS of ~.850, a career average of ~.220, and well over 3000 career strikeouts sometimes evil wins

Poque posted:is this really a crisis? I feel like people love sick Ks and long dongs and we're getting tons of both It's not. This ridiculous pearl clutching over pace of play and home runs and strikeouts is so loving dumb. Pitchers are part of the game too, people loving love sick punchouts. And that's speaking at a practical level, not even getting into the terrible, horrible use of language around this by MLB and baseball writers.

Baseball writers are the foremost authority when it comes to pearl clutching over *checks notes* seemingly harmless things that ultimately are part of the game. At least the older ones. Hockey writers are a close second, especially if Canadian. Football writers will laugh at baseball's pace of play while conveniently ignoring that their pace of play is the same, mostly because it feels faster because there's a clock involved (read: it's artificially fast).

On that note, I've found myself enjoying baseball a lot more when I came to understand that it's a much more casual affair than the other three major US sports. It's not fast paced, and that's fine.

This year is the first time in a long time I've been excited to watch a Braves game. Like I'd watch them before but it was more out of habit or some made up obligation. They're fun to watch for the first time in forever. I want to get an Acuña-tar or one for Ozzie but I did that last year with Dansby and we saw what happened - I don't want to jinx it.

N: Cubs have now won five in a row while scoring 3 or less runs per game. They're the first Cubs team ever to do that, and the first team period since the 2011 Brewers. If they pulled it off again today for six wins, they'd be the first team since the dead ball era to do it, and if they by some miracle then pulled it off the day after tomorrow as well they'd be the first baseball team ever to win seven in a row while scoring 3 or less in each game. V: I'm really, really glad Cubs pitching decided now was the time to remember how to pitch, because the bats have been cold as gently caress and there's an uncomfortably close flip-side where the Cub could have easily lost the last five in a row.

The D-backs went a full calendar month without losing back to back games for the first time in their relatively brief history. Everything is working so far. Starting pitching has been good. Hopefully Robbie Ray comes back from his strained oblique relatively quickly, but I'm guessing 60 day DL. I don't really care about Taijuan Walker, especially with Matt Koch pitching surprisingly well. I never really liked Walker that much, regardless. Patrick Corbin wants a huge payday next year so congrats to whatever team gets him next year. The dude is a legit ace, in my opinion. The hitting and run production has been fantastic. There were a few games where they just couldn't get a runner in from third to save their life. Peralta took one off the wrist last night, but x-rays were negative so I'm guessing he'll probably be back later this week. Also holy poo poo AJ Pollock 3 homers last night, get back to your 2015 self please. And the bullpen has also been great, but I think the starting pitching going deeper into games has really helped here. Stay healthy, my dudes.

No pitcher with at least 15 IP has ever had a K/9 over 18. Hader finished April with 19.5.

I like Soroka a lot, he's one a them there command pitchers. Probably will get beat around some at the start, especially as borderline calls go against him, but I think ultimately he'll be in the rotation for years to come.

I'm legit annoyed that the Braves already came to town because seeing Albies/Acuña/Freeman as the 1-2-3 sounds amazing. There's one left that was rescheduled but it's a weekday day game.

I love April stats. NL HR leaders include a short second baseman and a 27 year old rookie who was recently (2016-17 offseason) a minor league free agent.

And if you need to waste more time more apropos of bewbies posted:can you all even imagine what it was like when a BLACK GUY showed up to play? The original 1950 movie, The Jackie Robinson Story, starring Jackie as himself, is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-ACLvmA-CM&feature=youtu.be It's remarkably frank, for the period, about the racist barriers he faced, with some but not too much hokum you'd see from a move of that era, and very watchable.

If you'll forgive me my nerdy as gently caress analogy, Bauer is basically the perfect example of why Wisdom and Intelligence are separate stats. Also I'm at work and lazy but McCullers responded by telling Bauer jealousy isn't a good look on him, and Bauer doubled down with something like "Nah man not jealous, I actually respect what you guys are doing, just annoyed MLB is selectively enforcing the rules."
