My first mlb reply review!
I was looking at othani run and didnt look at lol fletcher nice base running
Feels like home plate ump is shitting on othani
I thought most parks were pretty strict until the 7th inning, then loosened up.
I see ushers check tickets all the time at both Dodger and Angel games
Othani is absurd
I mean he gave up three hits, and only hit one double himself. Zzzzzzzzz.
If he isn’t MVP by a landslide cancel the sport and send the voters to Guantanamo.
There were 4 guys who kept seating in the front raws and getting booted back and they just let them back in in the 7th and everyone cheered for some reason.
Othani going to the outfield yay
ORIS not an ad you see everyday.
This announcer trying to make Vlad Guerrero Jr an MVP thing in a game featuring the A’s vs the Ohtanis

Othani should demand a trade
About that losing 8 MILLION part:
Oh, he leads the league in home runs.
But is he clutch?
Who cares, he plays the game the right way!

I was reading an article about this recently and the answer is yes. He leads MLB in both WPA and context-neutral WPA (WPA/LI) which means he has been great in all leverage scenarios, but the positive CLUTCH metric implies he’s even better in high-leverage scenarios. In other words, players can achieve an inflated WPA by simply having more chances in high-leverage scenarios and/or running hot in them, but he is leading the league in both.

Yesterday I learned that the Oakland A’s 1st round draft pick in 2021 was a shortstop named Max Muncy, who is very much not Max Muncy who was drafted in the 2012 draft by the Oakland A’s.
2022 projected pick: a kid named Rollie Fingers

Everyone knows that Jeff Bezos went into space today, but a lesser-known fact is that @skydiver8 will be heading into orbit today as well:

eh, whatever. The thing with foreigners and Skyline is the name leads to certain expectations. When tose expectations are not conformed to, people close their minds.
People hear “chili” and think of the stew-like stuff they serve everywhere else. But Cincy chili is not that. Cincy “chili” is a sauce, a topping, like bolognese or alfredo or whatever. It’s also Greek, and the Mediterranean flavors confuse people.
lots of people hating on Cincy lately. Some writer just listed it as the worst NFL destination city (not ranking the teams, just the cities).
