Tony Phillips posted:I hadn't even thought about opponents just making it happen. How fast would Manfred act if teams just Sadaharu Oh'd him for the rest of the season? Serious question - what could Manfred do? Institute a rule that says a player can only be walked twice a game? Pitchers have to throw in the strike zone no matter what? Maybe we'll have an Aaron Judge rule that says Judge - and only Judge - doesn't ever walk on 4 balls. You have to get him out or give him a hit.

He can't break the record if you just never let the AB end and force everything to implode in on itself. Eventually he'll pass out from dehydration or something.

Passing the time at work until I can justify starting the weekend and I sent that to my non baseball fan wife. God bless her. She thought the M's had somehow traded Julio to Chicago.

So I apologize for bringing up the Astros' sign stealing again but: As you may have heard, there's a major cheating scandal going on in chess right now. Part of this is that a young player, Hans Moke Niemann, has been repeatedly banned from one of the major online chess sites chess.com. In an interview, Danny Rensch for chess.com talked a bit about how they algorithmically look for cheating, and revealed that they actually consulted with MLB on the Astros case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIMIfjYNZ1A

I was selected to an early pre-sale lottery for Yankees postseason tix so I'm going to ALDS Game 3. I spent the most I've ever spent on a ticket--$304. Haven't been to Yankees postseason game since game 5 of the 2012 ALDS when CC pitched a complete game. Excited!!!!

To be fair Gallo is also below the cutoff, and also based on the brevity of his "peak" probably doesn't belong belong in a list with those other guys.

Congrats! I was selected too but I can’t justify spending $350+ on a ticket unless it’s the World Series. If they make it there I absolutely will spend whatever the gently caress it takes to get into the stadium though.

Poque posted:Happy 114th anniversary of Merkle's Boner. I learned today that a big reason the home plate umpire Hank O'Day was (allegedly) paying attention to the play at second was because he was the ump for an eerily similar game played a few weeks earlier where a Pirates baserunner also should have been forced out, which would have nullified a game-winning run. This didn't happen because O'Day saw the ball land as a game-winning hit and just left the field entirely. I love baseball

Outside of a small sample size stretch in 2021 Kimbrel has been really bad since the end of the 2018 season, and should have been viewed as a high risk high reward upside play, not as the locked in closer. Still have no idea why they let Kenley walk.
