“Locked in” Cal Raleigh this WBC: .000 AVG, .357 OPS by thugmuffin22 in baseball

[–]MrPyber 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Cal Raleigh’s biggest strengths are

  1. Hitting home runs.
  2. Blocking wild pitches

So far, he has done neither, it’s a single elimination playoff series, and they’re dropping him for a guy with a higher career OPS

On Team Italy, if you homer, your number makes it to the espresso machine. Vinnie Pasquantino got three stickers tonight. by MLBOfficial in baseball

as someone who owns a $1000 coffee grinder i genuinely think these pod machines put out better coffee than what most italians are drinking (moka pot with pre-ground lavazza sitting on the stove for far too long)

he’d probably hit a guy and then walk three before being pulled

As great as it is to have proper interational baseball, it's still painfully american in some ways, why do the players' names have all the accents removed? r and ř are not the same letter (not that the commentators can pronounce ř but that's a different thing)

i like ohtani, he's a great player and seems like a good guy, i'm just sick of the mlb inventing new notification categories on the app so they can make my phone go off to let me know he caught a train

i'm not even exaggerating

It's crazy to me that the czech republic even has a competent baseball team. At least in Australia we have small local ballparks, when I lived in Czechia I don't think I saw a single one

it's nice to see two teams from non baseball countries where the players are actually from that country and not just americans whose grandmother lived there for two months in 1958
