    They do.
    There's always Nintendo adds behind home plate, too.

    Adding confusing rules so good for baseball.


    it's fine rob thompson gave them the game by putting in our 10 era reliever in a tie game. he got to 0-2 2 outs after putting runners on 2nd and 3rd no outs, and then threw a pitch the catcher called for a high fastball so wild that it bounced in front of the plate and two runs scored so they won anyway.

    The Pirates might get swept by the A's.

    There's no shortage of healthy talent on the team, so I guess I'll blame the manager.

    They’re not good

    But the A’s have been a little better than expected so far this year.

    phillies struck out 18 times today and won the game.

    angels also struck out 10 times so of the 54 outs 28 were strikeouts. pretty weird baseball game.

    That's like a microcosm of the trend in stats the last 15 years. Between velo and spin-rate juicing/over training it's now normal for the league to have more strikeouts than hits per season. K/9 numbers are the highest they've ever been, league average is down about .030 compared to 20 years ago.

    The hell with anyone touching Ted Williams/.400, you'll be lucky to see another George Brett or Tony Gwynn .380+ season again.

    Benches clear in Brewers-Rays game after Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy loses his mind, a breakdown


    Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta received a five-game suspension for intentionally throwing at Siri during the top of the sixth inning of the Brewers' 8-2 victory while reliever Abner Uribe received six games after he and Siri squared off against each other two innings later.

    Siri received a three-game suspension -- that was later reduced to two games -- while Murphy will miss two games as a result of Peralta's actions in addition to his inappropriate conduct toward umpires.

    All four were also fined.

    I don't know Monty, Vaighn's carrying his left a little low, this could come back to hurt him in the later rounds.

    I'm just happy that the AL Central is looking competitive as hell, at least after the first month. All teams have shown flashes of brilliance, though also all with obvious flaws (Royals run production. Cleveland defensive efficiency, etc...).

    Looking at going to my first KC home games post-pandemic sometime in June.
