That's on JT for being a putz I think

going back to first because you think the LF has caught it is understandable, but not picking up the guy rounding first in front of you is ridiculous

if I'm Belli I'm pissed because that's a HR taken away from him

It robs us of position players pitching, ergo it’s bad.

It's also arbitrary. If it doesn't end in 9 just call a loving tie. There's 162 games. Ties will matter too.

They had more sac flies than hits. Also the Pirates stranded 15 runners and won.

I don't understand that Bellinger 'not HR'. So because Turner went back on the bases Bellinger was ruled out and the HR doesn't count? I've never heard of this before.

If you pass the lead runner you're out. It almost never comes up because usually the lead runner isn't hauling rear end back to first base despite being yelled at by everybody else.

i would rather not have extras start with a runner on 2nd, but i'm also not vehemently against it? both teams get it so...it's fair. and it does make things a little more tense.

Obviously the Dodgers’ base running error is incredibly rare, but shouldn’t the play be effectively dead after the ball goes out and trotting the bases just a formality?

Maybe the next frontier in shaving game length after intentional walks will be letting guys work the crowd for a little after a home run instead of taking their bases. Say... enough time for one “get loud” and one exaggerated “I can’t hear you” gesture.

Once mid at bat the opposing pitcher gave the warm up sign for a fastball (glove wrist flip up) and then threw me a slider off the plate. I swung and missed.

This reminds me of the Greinke story when he first got to spring training with the Royals he asked them if they wanted him to throw hard, like 'I can throw hard if you want me to.' It's always been interpreted as him being smart about not overthrowing.

I'm halfway convinced in Zack's mind he was like 'do I have to work at this or will you just let me be funky?'
