Yeah I'm having to resort to some :filez: to watch opening day because somethign is hosed on MLB's end. Chatting with a friend who works for a DIFFERENT part of MLB's tech org, he's hearing it's related to Okta. Etiher way it sucks

Do you think more Americans know that there is a baseball player named Shohei Ohtani than know that the Colorado Rockies exist

Like the mountain range? of course they do.

I like Ichiro fine but the novelty of him constantly being around wore off a while ago. Yes he's one of our all time greats to be honored, but feels like we do that an awful lot. Although guess it makes sense as Griffey/Felix don't show up unless it's something really big, Edgar & Dan Wilson are employed by the team, Randy Johnson or Arod would be odd, and Buhner or Joey Cora aren't big enough names.

Hard disagree. I wanna see more of the greats not less.

I love that there’s a “controversy” about banning certain bats because one teams pitching sucked balls for one series and they didn’t like it.

Yeah, I don't get it... if the bats work, just start using them? (also it wasn't the bats)

I am curious about how the roundness changes the contact patch and all the math behind that, and if it matters that much. I hope someone does a proper juiced ball-like modeling sim on it.

It's been around for a bit and apparently Vitcus requires you to go in and do a bunch of analysis to know what to create for the specific hitter. I can't find it anymore, but Bryson Stott spoke about it for a couple mins.

Dumb question: What are the rules for players going into the stands to make a catch? Relatedly, can they climb up and stand on the outfield wall to make a catch?

Yes. It's harder to do now because of the extended netting.

Even dumber question: can a fielder climb up the wall into the bleachers and rob the run? WAY dumber question: do the fielders have to start on the field or can the left fielder be in the stands when the pitcher starts their motion?

Sydin posted:

You do have to be in the field of play when the catch is made, IIRC during the Rizzo tarp catch that was just posted there was a brief umpire review on the field to determine if the top of the tarp was considered as legally in play territory (they decided it was). Like theoretically if an OF started their positioning close enough to a low OF wall that they could jump it, run into the bleachers and "catch" a HR ball it would still be counted as a HR.

That all makes sense. Where is that line drawn? For parks where there is a fence above the outfield wall that is considered in play but the top is not, could a fielder somehow stand on the fence's vertical face and catch the ball? It's just dumb questions all the way down

I didn't understand what this could mean when he exited the game and now I'm hearing that it can be a precursor to TJS.

What a crazy game that was. Trea and Rojas are horrible in the field suddenly Alvarado loads the bases just to kill the next three batters, Rojas is good at hitting somehow and then Stott swiping home sliding on the wild pitch to win the game at the bottom of the 9th. Crazy
