  1. Yepper. Their pen had been used heavily the previous several games including a double header. They made a prudent choice.
  2. Isn't Wonk still hiding in the Guatemalan jungles ?
  3. I hear Sid Finch in considering a comeback.
  4. It seems like Greinke's declining fastball velocity is a valid concern. I understand he is still pitching very well, but his 4 seamer now sits under 90. How much lower will it drop over the next couple seasons and at what point will it become ineffective. That's a lot of money for a guy who might be about to fall off of the proverbial cliff.
  5. Not a math major I see,
  6. Oops. I hadn't seen it so I though it was a safe topic .
  7. I like this: https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/27168526/stealing-first-gets-tryout-atlantic-league
  8. The bottom video you showed raises some doubt, enough to justify only giving him a two game suspension, but I firmly believe that when he stepped into a direct collision path the intention was there.
  9. Very well then. His big first step and his lowered shoulder tells me otherwise, but there is now room for doubt. Thank you for the perspective.
  10. The top video: In which world was this "A very normal, direct, and unaltered path to home plate"? Not the one I live in. The bottom video: Okay, now I see what you're referring to. I hadn't seen this before. This looks like an accident. On a side note, why did the text turn green?
  11. To me it looks like he steps two feet to his left, lowers his shoulder, and intends to knock the ball loose.
  12. The Umpires own words. Understand that even the umpire admits the computer was right and he would have called it wrong. It wasn't a blunder or mistake. The ball entered the strike zone. What else needs to be said about this?
  13. I won't. It will be an absolute pleasure to stop seeing games decided by idiotic calls. The players skill should determine who wins, not the umpires sight.
  14. Well, let's hope they don't start vaporizing people for disagreeing, lol.
  15. I don't know. It looked like a strike to me too.
  16. John Means is a young pitcher on the O's we might want to consider in a trade.
  17. I don't see how anyone can watch this and still maintain that it was unintentional.
  18. Yepper. The back half of the plate was open. Dude changed his line to the plate in a manner that made a collision unavoidable, then put his shoulder into Lucroy's head. Rather than speculate on his thought process, let the actions speak for themselves.
  19. Be nice if we could pry John Means out of the O's. Kid looks pretty good. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/meansjo01.shtml
  20. Trout is showing he might be the GOAT, well..... How lucky are we to have these two on an up and coming team?
