I’m lowkey rooting for the Angels in the AL because I want to see Ohtani and Trout together in the playoffs

That is awhile. He normally chimes in somewhere once a week. This must be a really big deal he’s working on.

In the Knicks thread he said he was taking time off to deal with his wife’s illness. Best of luck to him and his. Wishing them the best.

Why is taking the first pitch so popular? Automatically puts you behind in the count

depends on the pitcher. and it's to make pitchers work a bit more

Catching a late day game out here in DC.

Lots of variables. 2 most common is first at-bat of the game and new pitcher in relief.

It used to be the leadoff hitter wasn't just a great on base guy, but if they could run the count full, even if they got out, it was a good thing because typically he's used to communicate to the dugout what the pitches are doing because you'd see the pitcher go thru his repertoire trying to get the out (fastball running?, Breaking ball flat?, etc.) . There's a lot more first ball fast ball hitters now though it seems like. Analytics play into it.

Rockies sure blew that. Gonna suck for them extra if the game delayed due to weather now.

 

[rolaholic]

Whew

 

[mr j 858]

Haters were getting ready to celebrate on here

 

[703 hwy]

Giolito turned into buns quick. He was pretty good a couple seasons ago

 

[DsLee]

Whew

That bobblehead is goated

National fans are classy and cool even after the Odor go ahead 3 run HR and Hader closing it out.
