I did not realize the hitting part, a 0.31 ERA and a 1.182 OPS, hahahaha...He also doubled in the first run of the game, and overall is hitting .545 on the year (not a typo)
It’s just ridiculous right now
Not sure if you saw the highlights later, but when he was on 3rd, he was chatting with Bregman and the mic picked him up saying je thought it was a slider. And also said that he has a lot of trouble picking up the ball at HoustonSo Mike Trout leaned into a pitch that was in the strike zone with his elbow yesterday, a la Conforto. And then had to be removed from the game with an elbow contusion.
Pretty stupid maneuver there by one of the best hitters in the history of baseball. You don't need to scrap to get on base Mike.
I don't understand how there aren't two camera's focused down the foul lines for exactly this purpose, especially in places like Minite Maid and Fenway that have weird angles that get cut off like thatAstros got big help in a comeback win, a foul double was not overturned on replay, clearly no chalk came up and was right of the line.

No mention of this play in any of the MLB app highlights, not the game wrap, not even the condensed game. I had to replay the full game broadcast to see this play. F*ck MLB and its lousy umps and its lousy replay system and its lousy covering up for its lousy umps and lousy replay.Astros got big help in a comeback win, a foul double was not overturned on replay, clearly no chalk came up and was right of the line.

This is obviously about as lopsided as a single transaction can be, but for White Sox fans, some context probably helps. Tim Anderson was their #1 pick in 2013 and the Tatis deal was in 2016, so it's not like they have a black hole at SS, and the White Sox similarly stole a pre-arb Lucas Giolito from NatsTown as part of the Adam Eaton deal (and also later turned Dunning from that deal into one year of Lance Lynn).This is probably common knowledge, but I had no idea Tatis Jr was originally in the Chisox organization and dealt for James Shields, who proceeded to go 16-35 5.31 for Chicago. My god. At least Larry Andersen was pretty good in Boston!
Degrom currently has 2 rbi and 1 er. Seeing how long he can keep up more rbi than er will be funI did not realize the hitting part, a 0.31 ERA and a 1.182 OPS, hahahaha...
It's in the MLB app as a specific highlight. They always have game highlights all over the place though. No real logical order to itNo mention of this play in any of the MLB app highlights, not the game wrap, not even the condensed game. I had to replay the full game broadcast to see this play.

It's still April.Is DeGrom on his way to the best season of all time?
I thought about this more and of course the White Sox could have moved Anderson to 2B if they still had Tatis Jr and they would be infinitely better off, so consider my above post pretty much withdrawn. I love the White Sox personnel the next few years, depending on how many of them La Russa breaks before he is fired, but wow if they had Tatis Jr too.This is obviously about as lopsided as a single transaction can be, but for White Sox fans, some context probably helps.

@Brand Name Jay Jaffe just retweeted you I think.Fernando Tatís Jr. has just become the 1st #Padres player (3rd overall) with multiple multi-homer games at Dodger Stadium in same season. Two straight nights joins him w/ Barry Bonds on 4/2, 4/3 2002 as only previous visiting player to do so in consecutive games. #HungryForMore
NoIs DeGrom on his way to the best season of all time?
In the White Sox defense here, he was a 17 year old who hadn't played an official game with any of their minor league affiliates at the time of the trade. He'd been in their organization for only a year (I'm assuming at their academy in DR). I don't think there was any way to know he'd turn into a superstar by age 21.I thought about this more and of course the White Sox could have moved Anderson to 2B if they still had Tatis Jr and they would be infinitely better off, so consider my above post pretty much withdrawn.

keep doing this, ok?Good God are the Indians an absolute joke. That lineup is so bad they need to win every game 2-1 if they're lucky enough to score two that is.
77 pitches in those 3 innings, he was lucky not to give up more runs than he did.Why did Musgrove go 3?
playoff managing
Gotcha. Thanks!77 pitches in those 3 innings, he was lucky not to give up more runs than he did.
Seemed like he threw about 7 pitches where the bases weren’t loaded.77 pitches in those 3 innings, he was lucky not to give up more runs than he did.
The factual mistakes are just constant, from Vasgersian too. I think my least favorite annoucing duo ever, in any sport (I fucking hate Mark Jackson but Breen is fine).A-Rod doesn’t even try anymore. On Max Muncy:
“The Moneyball dream player. What Billy Beane would do to have him on his team?”
At this point, I’m tuning into all of them. Great baseball, fun personalities.These games are fast approaching pre2004 Sox/Yankees levels.
Will never reach that intensity - but it’s cool to see a west coast rivalry like this. I hope people are watching.
It blows my mind how they let some of their commentary ship. “He’s in his tracks” (everyone is always in their own tracks, that’s what tracks are), “the two out threat does not come to pass” (yes it did, the scoring didn’t come to pass), etc, etc. I’d kill for them to get even Joe Buck.I hate Vasgersian on MLB The Show. Hate him here, too.
