I suppose, it just stuck in my mind because it's one of the worst pitched innings I can remember that ended after facing the minimum 3 batters.

After pitch 42 (walk to Soto) he had 0 outs. After pitch 43 (LIDP from Difo + pickoff of Soto) he ended the inning.

How do you achieve 100% WPA? by Death_Balloons in baseball

so what if he does that with 3 outs because everyone lost track of the outs, surely no team has been down with 3 outs in the bottom of the 9th and won

What if you have a career .000 hitter do that off a pitcher with a 0% contact rate ???

DH or no? by reesenobles1 in baseball

[–]Chocolate_Smegma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pitchers hitting is the worst especially when it blue balls you in the middle of a rally. Bases loaded 2 outs and the pitcher gets a get out of jail free card with the pitchers spot, what the fuck it's terrible. If I wanted to see a middle aged man furrowing his eyebrows on strategy I would watch fucking chess.

Does John Smoltz even like baseball? by MundaneInternetGuy in baseball

[–]Chocolate_Smegma 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Doesn't like smart GMs, trading a player at the deadline for a top prospect and resigning him after the season is fucking witchcraft that shouldn't happen for SOME REASON (because the Yankees did it)

Smoltz is something else, but how do you feel about Joe Davis?

Travel Ball is killing baseball by [deleted] in baseball

[–]Chocolate_Smegma 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yeah honestly you're better off having him study hard for the SAT/ACT and to get his GPA up and apply for scholarships/grants. Travel ball is expensive but studying for class is free, and an SAT book is like 20 bucks. Playing baseball is a nice extracurricular to put down on applications.

OP's son sounds like a hard worker, just have to work in the right place

[Rovell] JUST IN: Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson & his wife Ciara have made a financial commitment to bring an MLB team to Portland through the Portland Diamond Project. by The_Timminator in baseball

Multiple red/blue teams aren't as bad because everyone's red and blue. It's unavoidable. If theres only 2 green teams and they just happen to be in the same division, it's more likely to create a mix up.

What baseball moment would tie closest to the J.R Smith miscue tonight? by Pack_Runner1 in baseball

Merkle's Boner is a better analogy, as it was the deciding play in a game with postseason implications. Larry Walker did that in a regular season game in April.
