6-2 on a check swing single

Game thread + attendance. That’s devotion.

No love for Sosa?

Love Yaz that much, eh?

That, and it seems like they need to keep him challenged in some way.

Basically you’re describing a team of Mookie Bettses

I understand that, but a lot of pitchers who go in for holds in the 8th or 7th end up getting credited with a blown save when they weren’t in there for the actual save opp. Therefore, if you’re typically a 7th or 8th inning reliever / setup man, your save percentage will be artificially lower.

How many of those were actual save opps in the 9th versus giving up a lead in the 7th or 8th, though?

I always love these types of stats. “The team does better when the individual players have better stats.” Well no s%*#. Thanks for the hard-hitting analysis.

What’s Johnny Cueto up to these days?

The “whitesox.com/promos” url there is a nice touch, too

Is it contagious through the internet? That's the important question.

Thankfully, this aged quite poorly.

That Romo. He’s so hot right now. Romo.

Tray brings people together

Ghost runner can start at 3rd as long as he is wearing the mascot costume of one of the participating teams.

Have ABS give challenges to teams throughout the game, incrementally, based on the number of blown calls by the umps.

I like the limited number of challenges in principle. That said, I hate that when an ump is really bad, it still has a significant impact on the game. So my solution is that at the end of each inning, based on the ABS-based grading system for the previous inning, they announce whether each team gets an additional challenge. For example, if the ump blows 3 calls in a particular inning (that go unchallenged), each team gets an additional challenge that they can use starting in the next inning. That way we can get more calls right, and we can publicly shame the shitty umps.

Has there ever been a Three True Outcomes pitcher?

I wonder if anyone has ever hit a leadoff home run and a walk-off how run in the same game before

C'mon Miggy

Chase as the Manford Man?

Great signing by Hahn.

This thread seems like a fun one now

or rather, "show me the breasts" (in a general sense)
