It's because RBI's were not an official stat at the start of Ruth's career, so the official numbers toss out a bunch of Ruth's.

Interesting. I checked some lists online and they have Ruth in 2nd behind Aaron with 2214 rbis.  ESPN has Albert at number 2. MLB.com has Ruth in 2nd so that should make it official.

Gubi's reaction/chuckle to his change was so on point.  That change is ridiculous.

With Heaney, Bundy, Cobb and Quintana just on one-year deals, it's highly unlikely unless he becomes our closer. 

I'd rather him start though. 

Yeah I see why. That’s why I said long-term. I’m okay with it for now. He gets experience he wouldn’t have gotten with the delayed minor league season at the alt site. I just hope they don’t stick him pigeonhole him in the pen even if the opportunity arises for him to get in the rotation.

[southpaw]

what the heck was that Suzuki??

[PattyD22]

He gonna be called out

[bloodbrother]

Don't think he got the plate but don't trust this crew to change the call

or not

[Bronson]

He’s fucking out!!!!

[PattyD22]

This crew is having a really shitty game all right

[Inside Pitch]

LOL...   Terrible call, and even worse catching.

[bloodbrother]

Never rely on Umpires

[Chuck]

He never touched the plate. WTF, this umpiring crew sucks ass. 

[Blarg]

Even the replay official is blind.

Suzuki fucked that up he never even tried to tag him.

[TooCool]

Video reviews are dumb when they don't overturn obvious WRONG CALLS. 

[Erstad Grit]

Suzuki looked lost there on a nice throw by Fowler

[Cosmo_Kramer]

..... How did they review that and still call him safe? Lol what

[Taylor]

I think @daygloman is right that they don't reverse any calls after 10 PM PST.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

What is up with our catching to start this year...why did Suzuki hesitate on the tag.

and what the fuck is the point of instant replay if they’re not going to do anything about their wrong calls. It’s the same shit with the NBA. 

[bloodbrother]

Angels bats gonna put up a crooked number on this Astros pen. Just can't allow any more runs

[Blarg]

We have two catchers that suck at defense. 

[Bronson]

He never even came close to touching the plate??? What the fuck

I love the way Floridians see the world. 

95% of my life has been spent in CA..   Floridians are pretty weird.

[jonickell25]

Again...catchers making mistakes. Smdh.

[Justin]

The review umpires aren't trying to get the call correct. They are trying to uphold the call on the field. I can't believe anyone is still surprised by this in 2021. 

[Revad]

That was bullshit- he was out.

[sammyscioscia]

MLB wants to Astros to win it all without 'cheating'
