cupping mark, supposed to improve blood flow.

usually a dry mound isn't ideal. but in baseball you want one.

no lead feels safe anymore.

hey man this is a gamethread and this reasonable informed take has no place here.

Beckham is an even worse color guy than ballplayer, who the fuck made the call to have him in the booth? I'd rather have a Hawk soundboard run by a monkey.

he has the misfortune of having the worst swing I've seen at the MLB level as well. Glad he ran into a few when he was up here but there's a good chance he never sees MLB again. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he's a 40 man cut in the offseason.

Zavala will probably never play in MLB again. Collins might turn into a decent backup yet.

I was living with a good friend, die hard Tigers fan, when they blew the WS on what was essentially high leverage fuckup after high leverage fuckup. Dude is the calmest, nicest guy I know and he was raging and throwing shit. Baseball is just different that way. It fucking eats at you.

trust me I didn't understand my point either.

edit: yea fuck it.

I forgot how stressful meaningful pitches are. Honestly I'm a diehard fan of a lot of teams but baseball is the only sport that I feel sometimes I just want to not watch. Shit is just painful. Same thing I had during the playoffs last year in the last game I just turned it off, couldn't stand to watch.

I'd give my left nut to open against the Ms in the playoffs. They suck ass and are lucky. I'd take a shit team like that in the playoffs 10/10 and never ever look back. I don't care if they are 162-0 in 1 run games with a +162 fun differential.

bro how is it 2021 and you don't have this yet: https://www.espn.com/mlb/standings/_/view/expanded

God bless Scott Servais, the Forrest Gump of managers.

26-14 in 1 run games, most wins in baseball. Your logic is dumb AF, no offense.

so should they make it the Mariners are the favorite?

tonight's goats were TA and Yoan, if those guys don't produce we're not going anywhere, doesn't matter what the pen does. Just have to get hot in October. I know Yoan had the bloop RBI but he's just not producing like he's capable right now and TA is just man, he's having an odd year. game to game he either looks like an all star or like a scrub. no consistent hitting. eloy was bad too but he's still working back so whatever. same with robert.

I've had him on ignore for a year now. the shitpost to actual post ratio was reddit esque.

bullpen is only as good as your offense, one thing Hawk was and is still always right about.

Maybe in the off-season we can commit another 50 million to the pen

we are popping up an insane amount of hanging breaking balls.

Good job.

man how did foul that off.

i've never seen a crowd that loves 200 foot fly balls and the wave as much as the Jays fans.

I feel good about Tepera when he comes in, that's more than I can say for most of the pen right now.
