I fell asleep but saw the bullpen tried to blow it. The offense had other ideas though so yay cubs.

The only real rule around wood bats is that it has to be a single contiguous piece of wood (no cork, no composite materials), maybe also some limits on the drop but I'm not sure about that.

Has some thickness and length rules plus a few about the hole in the top. Nothing really about the shape as long as it's not too wide or long.

Aren't they still limited by max diameter though?

Yeah but you maximize the mass into the ball vs the weight of the bat.

Shame it has to be a solid piece, I want 8" of handle, 4" of chain, then rest bat. Flail swing!

Who at MLB decided a Thu/Fri/Sat series with Sunday off is a good idea?

Small sample size and all but Porter Hodge has been the only good pitcher with more than 1 IP.



This is what you get when your biggest concern is "value"

Porter Hodge is an S tier closer name too.

Alonso broke the Brewers with his towering home run in the WC series and they never recovered. They are hollow men, shells of their former selves, cursed to play basedball until the sun goes out

They'll still win the division.

Wow two home runs. In one game. Has that ever happened before?

I want you to guess how finely they are cutting stats to get to "historic night"

Yet they missed the real story from last night. A 30 year old catcher hit for the cycle.

Bring back the LBJ jumbotron graphic and make him say LETS GO ASTROS

reminder that as best we can tell the average MLB pitch misses it’s intended target by 12”

Bumps to 15-16" if you remove all of Greg Maddox's pitches.

It is kinda fitting that Sasaki finally pitches a non-poo poo start and the Dodgers bullpen just completely explodes. I also should have known this but didn't realize you can have a position player pitch for multiple innings. Learning something new every day

When youre at a ballgame and a ball gets hit over towards you, are you like ‘oh gently caress” or “oh boy”

I find comfort in looking around and figuring out which kid near me gets a ball if I get one.

In order to be angry I'd have to pay any attention to the Bears whatsoever, which I haven't done for like 20 years now. Everything I know about them comes from my parents insisting to me every year that this time the Bears are gonna be good for some reason and then getting more depressed every week thereafter. Granted now that I'm back in Chicago I guess I also get to absorb the collective misery of the fandom via osmosis goddamn do people care a lot about football.

idk how somebody handles rooting for the Bears, Bulls, and one of the Cubs or Sox. Just caring about one destroys me sometimes, lol.

Just remember, there are Mariners fans here.
