  1. https://x.com/i/status/2062220014128918727 Joey Votto is insane - in such a good way. What a legend.

  3. Based on the initial statement, there's a possibility you're wasting your time here Gov.
  4. Makes total sense to me. If 2 of the best ever can do it - everyone should be able to. #logic
  5. I think it's more about getting your timing back and preparing your body to play daily. All other sports have more days off and thus more in-season practice time. Player's returning from injury in other sports use that practice time to get back up to speed, whereas MLB players do that in the minors. MLB is a bit unique that way.
  6. This isn't how the playoffs work. It's a coin flip essentially.
  7. Good - wins were always useless. Ban them.
  8. That's fair - my bad man. Sorry. I could have chosen my words better. I used to really enjoy your unique insight, but it seems something has changed this year. You seem very repetitive and just a little off. I hope all is well.
  9. Rockies gifted HR after ball bounces off head of Angels' Adell 😬 https://thescore.com/s/35754215 Adelle pulls off the Canseco - yikes!
  10. We know you hate it when the adults have a conversation without you.
  11. Nobody said anything you just claimed. People just questioned whether the cultural adjustment might be part of the explanation for a slow start this year. Nobody f*cking knows, but we're hoping there's a reasonable explanation. Nobody gives a flying f*ck about Justin Gonzalez. What happened to you? You off your meds or something these days? You're unbearable.
  12. You can't be stupid enough to believe that ever player who arrives from the DR is going to adjust at the same speed/rate. Every player handles adjustments, changes, coaching, training, etc. differently. It's the same reason the best hitter in College doesn't always become the best ML hitter in their class. It's why #1 overall draft picks still bust.
  13. Did you get upset when they had Barbie night on May 9th? Does Cricket Day at the Park upset you? How about Transformer Day, Stranger Things day, Care Bare day, Hello Kitty day? Watch out for those Care Bare fans - they might try and suck your d*ck! Don't like it? Don't go. Pretty simple.
  14. Do realize how f*cking stupid this sounds right?
  15. Yeah - that's a good point, pitchers don't need more advantages these days. I have seen those old videos showing what check swings used to look like - they are wild. To be honest - I kinda just trust MLB these days. They've been spot on with almost all the recent changes.
  16. Steve Phillips is a moron. The fact someone pays him to talk and write about baseball is embarrassing.
  17. What did they determine the "line in the sand" was? Based on that video, it looks like it's about a 45 degree angle in front of the plate? I always thought there was no official "rule" - it was simply the umpires judgement as to whether it was a swing or not. The old adages like "he broke his wrists" or "bat crossed the front of the plate" aren't in the rule book, but they kinda defined what umps were looking for? But yes - you can see in the comment section that people are generally confused because they think if the bat crosses the front of the plate, it's a swing. Fans will adjust, they have with every new rule change that's been implemented recently. I actually think having a set in stone rule to follow will help...

I didn't know they had a check swing ABS challenge system in AAA this year. I like it. Asking an ump who's 100 feet away was always a bit suspect (although they do a pretty good job). I wonder at what rate umps get check swing calls right at the ML level - using whatever threshold they've determined for this ABS system...
  19. Grandma could also steal a base off Hoffman - that isn't helping things at all. He needs to hold runners better.
  20. Heineman's BABIP is .400 in 3 innings this year...
  21. I think you can. It's ballsy, but there's nothing wrong with playing the odds. That said, the Jays have taken him out of the highest leverage role. He's only pitched the 9th in the past few weeks on days when Varland faces the meat of the order in the 8th and he faces the bottom half in the 9th. That's the right approach.
  22. Location+ suggests he's controlling pitches better than he ever has. He's at 103 on the year v. his career average of 92. It's certainly very odd and disheartening. Baseball can certainly be a confusing an cruel game. At this point, all we can do is hope things start to even out. If they do, Hoffman will probably be one of the best RPers in baseball over the next 4-5 months. We could certainly use that.
