On the bright side, Vladdy cannot hit into a GIDP with 2 outs.

While it was a ball, it is not the most egregious strike call ever made. It was very close. Until Robo umps are used, players should protect the plate on such close pitches when they have two strikes.

The under-utilization of Jansen by the coaching staff is just pure incompetence. He has the highest wRC+ on the team this year. He has a 900+ OPS in the past 30 games with almost a 1:1 walk:strikeout ratio.

How is Springer's grandma's cooking?

Isn't he fat enough to try to conserve some calories while playing in the game? He should be doing squats and sit-ups while idle.

He is a 3 WAR player. That is probably closer to his true skill level than last year's. Fat players peak early.

I just checked his spray chart. Tons of hits the other way. Shifting against him is idiotic. At this point, I am glad MLB is banning the shift because the Blue Jays think they are awesome at it when in reality they f***ing suck.

When did I say that?

Can someone please let me know why my most recent post was deleted? Which rules were violated?

I will state the obvious truth. Both extreme sides of the vaccine issue are stupid. Why people who are not vaccinated are stupid: 1- They should have gotten vaccinated at the beginning when COVID did not have major variants. It actually helped slow the spread of the disease back then. Had they gotten vaccinated, who knows how many lives would have been saved. 2- Their reasons and "research" are f***ing idiotic. I feel dumber every time I read "experimental gene therapy", "I know someone who got sick from the vaccine", blah blah blah. Learn some f***ing biology and statistics for the love of god. Why people harping about people not getting vaccinated are stupid: 1- At this point, the vaccines are not very effective at limiting the spread of the different variants. This means the herd immunity ship has sailed, and all vaccines do is provide much higher chance of survival from COVID. So not getting vaccinated today has little to no impact on communities. COVID will be around regardless of people getting vaccinated or not. 2- New variants cause milder disease. Hospitals are much better equipped to handle COVID patients, and are no longer over-stressed because of COVID. So not getting vaccinated, for the most part, hurts nobody except the individual choosing not to get the vaccine. Both points above indicate that getting COVID vaccines has really become a personal choice because it mostly protects the individual from severe symptoms at this point, and does not prevent mild illness or the spread of the virus to people around them.

Few batters in league would have done anything against those pitches.
