Around Baseball 2019

Pretty cool to watch this SD ATL game with 2 young CANADIAN throwing the ball well.

 

Really nice to see Cal sitting 94-96.

Starting on Thursday, MLB is going to be streaming some games live on YouTube.

Because it went SO well when they streamed them on Facebook...

TBF you don’t have to login to YouTube and it’s main use is for watching stuff, so it’s a much better fit.

Giants are doing some ugly things to the Rockies lol. 12-0 in the 3rd.

Lol, the Colorado announcers just used their screen highlight pen to cross the score off the screen.

Did you hear that Abom, I'd never have thunk that Dave Winfield was drafted for all the big 4 sports, MLB/NFL/NBA and the NHL... that's insane?!

And exactly what NHL drafted him?

He wasn't drafted in 4 major sports, but 4 major sports leagues. He was drafted in the MLB, NFL, NBA and ABA, the latter two being basketball.

Ask the Rockies announcer... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

d'Arnaud has been scorching hot since going to the Rays, 3 home runs tonight

A 3 run HR for his third vs Chapman with two out in the ninth to put the Rays up 5-4. Got to love it.

[glory]

That home run by d'Arnaud looked like a lazy fly ball off the bat. Live by the Yankee Stadium porch, die by it as well.

That's what made that HR even sweeter.

Dodgers at Philly pulled off a suicide squeeze, nobody was ready to cover first, and later stole home in the same inning.

Yeah, Austin Barnes.

Anyone else notice how s***** the Cardinals season has been?

 

DeJong's wRC+ had dipped down to 103

Goldy's wRC+ 105

Wong's back down in the mid 80's

Harrison Bader has the sophomore slump at 76

Carpenter's at 86

Jose Martinez is at 101

 

Mikolas and Flaherty turned back into pumpkins

Carlos Martinez and Reyes can't stay healthy - both might be pen pieces now

Andrew Miller looks done....are they using him as a LOOGY? 41 games, 28 1/3 innings pitched this year

Wacha looks done

Hicks is hurt

Dakota Hudson BB/9 is over 4

 

 

I mean f*** me - that's basically the opposite of the Twins season. I don't like the Cards, but man, what a s*** show that must be for fans.

It’s hard to feel sorry for them when the Cardinals are currently in the second NL wildcard spot.

Yeah, that's an old folklore tale imo, same goes for the Ruth HR.

Fangraphs integrated RosterResource into their website, which now has in-depth information about every organization's depth charts. It's a bit busy in terms of colours and the way the tables are created so it'll probably get some getting used to but this is a fantastic addition.

Wow this is great, so glad they’ve recreated the colour scheme and layout exactly. Roster Resource was always the first place I’d go to check options, bookmarks now updated!

Lorenzen just came in as a pinch runner, in the 9th, in a tie game, and stole second base.

 

Some pitchers are actually fun to watch doing things other than pitching.

Blue Jays Rule 5 legend Glenn Sparkman just pitched a CGSHO against the White Sox

[Abomination]

That low wind rumble in this HOU-LAA game is really, really annoying when you have headphones on.

Am I crazy or did we not use Stroman for the same thing from time to time?

Yeah I remember him pinch running. Not stealing bases, but pinch running for fatties. Then he blew his knee out...

[Brownie19]

It's kind of sad to me that Kyle Schwarber kinda sucks. The guy transforms his body to make himself defensively viable and now it's his bat that's in question.

[tbad]

Keston Hiura is real deal or just BABIPing his way to success?

[tbad]

Mets are making some awful decisions... Cano and d'Arnaud moves in particular
