I guess I am not missing much this season
I'm really convinced they've been deliberately fucking with players ahead of the CBA for a few years now.
They'd rather alienate fans and talent in trade for a "Repaired" relationship with labor that will lead to more profits down the line.
So little of this bullshit has had anything to do with making the game have broader appeal.
Come Overwatch with meeeee
well, you're missing some all time bad plays from the pirates
really though going 26-45 in the NL Central is a real accomplishment, that division is bad
I have no idea how they're doing this. Maybe it's all the games against Arizona...
So what position do they mark him as in the all star game…gotta be pitcher and they do wacky stuff with the lineup?
And Vlad says this home run lead is mine.
Someone should probably remove the trashcans from their vicinity then.
Have you seen what the Nationals have been up to with Schwarber batting leadoff?
5 lead off HRs in 13 days (so like 11 games)
A total of 12 K's for the game.
Vlad jumps back ahead of Shohei.
And Shohei responds with a... Bunt?
You can check out game by game details to keep track at MLB's Baseball Savant. Example: this is the page for Thursday's game between the Cubs and Dodgers https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/gamefeed?date=6/24/2021&gamePk=633505&chartType=pitch&legendType=pitchName&playerType=pitcher&inning=&count=&pitchHand=&batSide=&descFilter=&ptFilter=&resultFilter=&hf=playerBreakdown#633505 Spin (RPM) is listed for all the pitchers who participated/threw pitches in that game, and it not only lists their average for that game, but for the year as well
Anything down (-) more than 100 is usually suspect in a way that's either fatigue from overuse, or something else (currently pretty obvious to tell what the something else is)
No Cub pitching that game was down more than ~60 RPM, which is understandable/normal
Pretty much every Dodger that pitched that game was affected in the aftermath of the crackdown: Walker Buehler was down significantly across basically all his pitch types. David Price was down significantly with everything but his four-seam surprisingly, and Garrett Cleavinger was down significantly. Phil Bickford...well, he was actually up a tad!

While walking to the clubhouse on Thursday, Mike Soroka completely re-tore his right achilles.
For reference, Soroka's major league career:
Debuts in the major May 1 2018
Shoulder injury two weeks later, sidelining him the rest of 2018
Shoulder injury in spring training 2019, out until mid-April
Starts the COVID season their opening game, tears his Achilles two weeks later, sidelining him the rest of 2020
Setback during recovery, another Achilles surgery needed last month
Re-tears it days ago, resulting in a third Achilles surgery in 10 months and sidelining him the rest of 2021
