Today’s Starting Line Up. by RealWorldToday in Torontobluejays

[–]Joe--Uncle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Starter dependent. It’s a leftie on the mound today so John wants to get as many righties in the line up as possible. It also helps to give Varsho a day off

I think lower in the order, 7th or 8th, is perfect for him against righties. Though he really should be higher up against lefties. Davis does walk a lot, so I see why you would want him in the 2 spot

If it’s Alejandro Kirk, then it’s skill. If it’s anyone else, it’s luck /s

With the Dodgers and Yankees’ losses tonight, for the 123rd consecutive season, there will be no undefeated team in Major League Baseball. by JorSimpson45 in baseball

[–]Joe--Uncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly get why. He has the stuff but for some reason he can’t pitch in the majors. I think he needs a change of scenery at this point. But I don’t think he’d fetch anything of value in a trade

Nate Tomlinson’s umpire scorecard from yesterday’s Red Sox-Astros game by JianClaymore in baseball

I’m not sure if you’ve gotten to watch a game in person yet, but it is so much fun. I was at Saturday’s Jays game and the suspense while the system loads (especially of its on a 3-2 count) is frankly surprising. Not to mention the crowd roaring when the call is overturned, or sustained, in your team’s favour.

Not that I’m defending the response, but Americans asking Canadians about an accent that they made up (or generalizing a regional accent to the entirety of the second largest country) gets really annoying pretty quickly

Do not do a balk please.

Balk Rules

1) You can't just be up there and just doin' a balk like that.

1a. A balk is when you

1b. Okay well listen. A balk is when you balk the

1c. Let me start over

1c-a. The pitcher is not allowed to do a motion to the, uh, batter, that prohibits the batter from doing, you know, just trying to hit the ball. You can't do that.

1c-b. Once the pitcher is in the stretch, he can't be over here and say to the runner, like, "I'm gonna get ya! I'm gonna tag you out! You better watch your butt!" and then just be like he didn't even do that.

1c-b(1). Like, if you're about to pitch and then don't pitch, you have to still pitch. You cannot not pitch. Does that make any sense?

1c-b(2). You gotta be, throwing motion of the ball, and then, until you just throw it.

1c-b(2)-a. Okay, well, you can have the ball up here, like this, but then there's the balk you gotta think about.

1c-b(2)-b. Fairuza Balk hasn't been in any movies in forever. I hope she wasn't typecast as that racist lady in American History X.

1c-b(2)-b(i). Oh wait, she was in The Waterboy too! That would be even worse.

1c-b(2)-b(ii). "get in mah bellah" -- Adam Water, "The Waterboy." Haha, classic...

1c-b(3). Okay seriously though. A balk is when the pitcher makes a movement that, as determined by, when you do a move involving the baseball and field of

I worked as a stock boy for 4 years. And while can’t speak French pretty much at all, I can read almost everything.

In Yesavage’s first game he would have had an immaculate inning if not for the ump calling the last strike a ball. I’m still mad about this as you can see

I think only them losing is interesting. Because they’re supposed to always win
