Nissin Cup Nudist posted:I saw it mentioned on reddit that there has been ~25 HBP through 2 days which is most certainly way more than normal Last season there were about .43 hbp per game, we are at ~.60 so far this year, but that is a sample of 4800 vs 38. I'd expect higher rates at the beginning of the season anyway since pitchers are less sharp. Traxis fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Apr 9, 2022 |

I think he’s a defensive wizard and that’s what the club values in an outfielder.

Tonight's Reds-Dodgers game is on AppleTV, which sucks, however:quote:The Apple TV+ broadcasts are placing an emphasis on having a new and diverse group of voices calling the games. One crew features Melanie Newman (play-by-play), Hannah Keyser (analyst) and Brooke Fletcher (reporter), along with former MLB outfielder Chris Young (analyst). The other crew consists of Stephen Nelson (play-by-play) and another former outfielder, Hunter Pence (analyst), alongside Katie Nolan (analyst) and Heidi Watney (reporter). Hunter Pence and Katie Nolan in the booth together should be pretty fun

Angels win 9-6, Maddon is clearly a genius for walking Seager. Can't argue with results.

R.D. Mangles posted:What exactly are batters doing when they bug out their eyes, open their mouths, and make weird guppy faces in between pitches ( Pedroia is the guy who was most noticeable)? I assume they are focusing their eyes or getting them to a neutral level or something, but I've never figured out exactly what purpose it serves. They are breathing through their eyelids, like the lava lizards of the Galapagos Islands

I doubt we end up with 1.5 hour games in the majors, MLB would just add more commercial time between innings if the pace got that fast.

You'd think pitchers would love a dead ball but MLB's incompetence is so complete they've managed to manufacture a ball that every player hates.

Greinke still has a solid 10 years left, he's going to be the next Jamie Moyer. Or he'll just wander off in the middle of a season and return to his home planet.

Hand Knit posted:I am not a physics understander. Why would changes in the ball result in 'needing to achieve greater exit velocity to achieve same result' rather than 'exit velocity on contact is reduced'? If changes in the ball result in more drag it will decelerate faster even if the exit velocity is the same
