2 hours ago2 hr 2 minutes ago, Jake said:Interesting, so really you want that thing to pop off near the bag since it can only help you by bothering and/or blocking the fielderWell in theory it could also block you from touching the bag while you get tagged somewhere else. And if the umps think you're intentionally trying to block the tag with your helmet, it would be an out for interference.
2 hours ago2 hr 3 minutes ago, Jake said:Interesting, so really you want that thing to pop off near the bag since it can only help you by bothering and/or blocking the fielderCould never control or manipulate it that well without hurting yourself sliding.Would be called out if done deliberately anyway...or perceived that way.Might even get ejected if the helmet bounced up and clipped a fielder in the face or elbow or another uncomfortable place.

2 hours ago2 hr Corpseball is back in 2026!The ole soft tossing lefty still the bane of the Sox existence.
1 hour ago1 hr Hasn't been worth harping on, but Luisangel's batted ball luck has been pisspoor this season. Not so much that he's lowkey hitting well or anything crazy like that. But his xwOBA is above the likes of Tanner Murray and Edgar Quero and will be ahead of Tristan Peters after today.

And using those three as the standard is scary (not knocking your post at all, I always appreciate the perspective)

And using those three as the standard is scary (not knocking your post at all, I always appreciate the perspective)Well that's somewhat baked into the calculation so I wouldn't necessarily blame it on that. I'd guess that heavy ground ball approaches are going to be more vulnerable to stretches of bad luck since you're not getting any of the three true outcomes to stabilize the results. Would also be more likely to have stretches of good luck for the same reason of course.
1 hour ago1 hr Sox have squared up their pitcher several times in the past couple of innings. If I was the Nats, I don't know that I'd send back out there.

1 hour ago1 hr Not sure the right strategy with Burke here. May not be a good idea to let him face Wood again even with the low pitch count. On the other hand, I don't love anyone in the bullpen.
