Major League Baseball (Part 2)

Ohtani threw 28 pitches in the first inning, seemed to struggle with his command, threw more balls than strikes, was throwing 98-99 though. Padres first two batters got hits and tatis scored on a sac fly. I doubt he is coming back out for a second inning but they said he was suppose to throw 40 pitches.

If that’s what would happen, I definitely want to see them try.

braves are hosting the all star game, and the rockies could have more all stars on the team (sorta serious for the rockies, the catcher absolutely should even without the every team gets one rule and they have a reliever with a chance)

why teams are pitching to that catcher with a lead like today? I don’t know. He hit two HR’s today so they won.
Braves it might just be sale. lol at hosting and just getting one when two years ago they had 8.

Wilson is 0-4, currently tied in the 8th. He was just up to bat, hit a pop-up to shallow right which dropped in no man’s land. BUT…the runner on 1st had to hold in case it was caught and got thrown out at 2nd. So it was a fielder’s choice.

EDIT: Going into the 9th…dude is praying for extras.

naturally, the two guys hitting under 200 in this game each got a hit. well there were 3, he got a hit too.

The two best hitters in the game, did not get a hit.

It’s at A’s stadium which somehow did not lead to 100 runs in the game and just had 4 total.

Yeah he’s a steady under 4 WAR guy

If he’s your longest and highest paid guy, that’s not super great. Also not the absolute worst thing, but you’d still prefer someone else in an ideal situation

meanwhile, the nationals called up the top pawspect in MLB

Shit going down in the Padres Dodgers game

Yesterday Andy Pages got drilled and he was super pissed about it and that really annoyed our pitcher, there was sort of a confrontation but nothing really happened

Then today Tatis just got drilled

Then Ohtani just got drilled

Both teams got warnings

Roberts got tossed

guardians #29 and you can literally see why. seeing all of these, they really need to make it priority to get every camera directly behind the pitcher.

Happy Skubal Day to those who celebrate.

I’ll be wearing my new Skubal Motor City Connect jersey and having an Oberon. Kinda bummed Skenes didn’t go today (he goes tomorrow), would have been a great matchup

Also 10 game lead for the Tigggaaazzz. 4 game for the AL, 1.5 for everyone. Baseball is fun.

nah did you watch it? above the pitcher.

it’s more the ones that are lower ranked and from the side don’t track the pitches as well i guess?

like if i’m gonna watch a good pitcher, i want to see the break of the pitches and it seems like straight on does that better. the #’s 25-30 aren’t nearly as “accurate looking” as the #’s 1-5.

:smirking_face:

i know you guys have been talking about your young guys (AYO) a lot, i just figured it was still a couple years away…

seems like they’re fun to watch too, the indians feel like they’re gonna always be .500 or slightly better but ugh they aren’t fun to watch most nights.

The Rangers have definitely improved their angle. When the new stadium opened, they had a very high up and dead center angle which made it really hard to read the ball off the bat compared to angles we are generally used to (lower and a bit off-center).

Winning makes it fun.

Our young guys are coming through some, but we’re getting a lot of best case scenarios this year. Some seem sustainable (Torkelson), but some do not (Baez). Baez’s stats are hilarious this year:

Just massively overperforming expectations. 2 HR yesterday.
