Popete posted:Somewhere out there is an Indian Rob Manfred frantically trying to reduce the time between bowls. You joke but slow over rates are actually a thing in cricket and captains can get fined for them. Also you occasionally get ridiculously close fielders in cricket, like within 20 feet. Usually a position given to the youngest player on the team.

Trout has a legit shot at 40/40. Homered and stole a base today and is on pace for ~48 HR and 39 SB.

No Pirate has hit 40+ home runs in my lifetime lol. Last instance was Stargell in 1973. Giles hit 39 in 1999.

Considering his walk rate, he had another one today, he should absolutely be stealing more. Ohtani with a 2 double, 2 walk day.

Yeah, Felix has thrown over 2500 innings and he hasn't discovered Verlander's secret, which lets him keep throwing in the upper 90s.

Felix Hernandez posted:“My style doesn’t change because I still have the same pitches, and they’re pretty good pitches,’’ Hernandez said. “The only thing is my fastball is not quite as fast.’’ Maybe Felix just needs to get extremely fat so he can make the Bartolo/Sabathia transition from fireballer to soft tosser.
