Ohtani is must see tv

 

[HIM]

Pretty decent plate coverage

 

[frink85]

I think (hope not) just tore his achilles. He looked back like someone kicked him the same way Kobe/KD did

god I hope I’m wrong

news outlets/twitter is reporting calf strain

 

[bigpat630]

Ohtani gonna have 40 HR and 150 K’s.

 

[mostly human]

Twins have to be the worst team.

 

[DB Cooper]

Pillar...ouch! Right up there when Giancarlo Stanton got hit in the face 7 yrs ago.

 

[mr j 858]

Twins have to be the worst team.

Nah the Rockies are.

Darvish getting in on the fun with a double

 

[mr j 858]

Damn rockies getting routed and have like 4 errors. 2 on Trevor Story alone

Twins have to be the worst team.

Makes no damn sense.

 

[masagipatron]

Even a Mets win feels like an L. Pillar was leaking, Jesus.

He's killin' it.

Still nervous about the Trout injury. Wasn’t KD’s achilles tear originally reported as a calf strain? He refused to talk to reporters yesterday, too

Achilles tears are rare in baseball. I think I've seen it twice. Not that it can't happen, but I'd be surprised given his build. Usually happens to the lankier dudes.

Bring the steal back

 

[DsLee]

Stolen Base attempts are one of the most exciting plays in baseball. Doesn't matter if you're rooting for or against the runner, there's often something magnificent about the steal or the catcher's throw.

The High-A chart sample size is still small but if the CS% remains under 30% then why not try it more often? If it becomes a bigger part of the game again, more guys would have jobs just as steal specialists too. Love it.

I think teams don’t want to get their stars injured hence why. Hand, finger, shoulder, leg injuries

I think analytics determined that the reward wasn’t worth the risk. Similar to the sacrifice bunt. But like you said, if you can move the CS% in favor of the runner, we’ll start seeing more steals. I like that they’re trying to make the game more exciting.

bring steals back (by tweaking rules)
Stop pitchers from cheating like Bauer
Regulate the shift

change 2 or all 3 and runs/excitement/ratings will go up without having to juice the ball again. I’ll sit through 4 hours of that.

So Yermin is in trouble for Going yard in a 3-0 Count when the game was already out of hand?

[madj55]

Goddamn.

The best part of the Yermin bomb was the pitch from Astudillo
