Keep in mind this thread is full of people like me who obsess over grown men hitting a ball with a stick while wearing pyjamas. You should be ok.

You'd be surprised how often drawing that parallel to sports doesn't work because people are too insecure to realize that their hobbies might be just as "childish" as anything else even if there's nothing wrong with that

Brilliant outing by Berrios! Especially facing all those lefties.

That's not fair. I'm wearing sweatpants not pajamas.

I meant that's what the grown men hitting a ball with a stick are wearing.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Among qualified SP, Tyler Wells has the lowest BABIP by a mile at .189

Time for the regression monster to take over today!

 

[Bjindaho]

Absolutely pathetic call from the ump leads to a run

And then the ump does an extra long hand check to rub it in.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Dusty inning in which the ump didn't help, but it all started with a walk

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Danny Jackson! Welcome back

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Holy f*** this ump is giving Baltimore all the borderline calls

 

[The Nemesis]

You can't stop Danny Jackson, you can only fail to contain him.

 

[Eyedea]

Jano x2

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Danny Jackson! Welcome back

Retweet

 

[The Nemesis]

This ump is a tool.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Damn. Sucks they couldn't get that last out for Kikuchi. A couple of walks and a mistake to Rutschman, but he was solid otherwise. 20% Swinging Strikes

 

[Eyedea]

Don’t get why Garcia was just pumping fastballs all AB for Santander. 2 strikes and not a single offspeed pitch to throw him off.

 

[mikeyz]

This team just cannot f***ing hit with RISP. It's so frustrating to watch

Garcia stinks, thats why.

 

[Eyedea]

Garcia stinks, thats why.

And yet he's throwing arguably the best stuff/velocity of his career. .388 babip can't be sustainable?

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Offense doing nothing again. Good luck getting 2+ runs on Bautista

 

[Eyedea]

The homerun production coming directly after 2 of the 3 guys in the lineup that couldn't get on base is just hilarious. No matter how Schneider wants to set the lineup it's like there's always that one hole that negates them from stringing hits/runs.

 

[ShaneFalco]

Leaving men on base is killing us

 

[theaub]

2008 hitting with RISP vibes from this team.

Yeah, it sure seems like that's the way it's gone the last month in particular: a couple guys have good games and keep getting on base, but then a couple other guys have bad games and can't bring them in, then whoever has a really good game (Jansen today) keeps coming up with no one on. Shuffle the lineup, rinse, repeat.

They used to hit homers with men on base, something thats almost disappeared this year.

His savant page is very good. He's been unlucky and I think some poor pitch selection is to blame.
