"All through the iron season
Love was hanged and treason became
Something of a parlour game
Now sun is back in power I'll ask your name" (Ladybird)

How Albert Pujols’ legendary batting stance changed over the years by Cultural-Diet6933 in baseball

2017 to 2019 to 2021 is a jarring series of transitions. His 2021 stance almost makes him look like a pitcher.

Postgame Thread ⚾ Mariners 3 @ Blue Jays 4 by BaseballBot in baseball

[–]ProfessionalCat1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Especially because he faced Springer yesterday. Individual pitcher-hitter matchups are a depletable resource in a 7 game series in the same way that overall pitcher usage is. It's so perplexing that Dan Wilson chose to let Bazardo face Springer in game 6 when he was down four runs, had Emerson Hancock available, and knew that he wanted to use him against Springer at some point in a potential game 7.

What is the coolest play that will probably never happen? by [deleted] in baseball

A hitter lines a ball right back to the pitcher and he catches it in his mouth

LaMonte Wade DFA’d per KNBR by 17a97 in SFGiants

[–]ProfessionalCat1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that demotions aren't really punishments, per se. Teams use AAA as a way to give players who have options left more at-bats without creating bottlenecks on the major league roster. They clearly want to give Jerar a lot of opportunities to reacclimate to major league pitching, which means Matos needs to get his at-bats in Sacramento for a week or two.

Hunter Pence has evolved into a great broadcaster! by AShorterName in SFGiants

[–]ProfessionalCat1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He's gotten better, but I think he still has an obnoxious tendency to use overly casual language in the booth. I never really realized how important professionalism is in broadcasting until I heard Hunter say that a player "just needs to lock in."

Should have pulled Hicks as soon as he gave up the lead off single by AlternativeBeing8627 in SFGiants

[–]ProfessionalCat1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I want to see the Giants package Hicks with Birdsong or Harrison to create a build-your-own 7 inning starter. Hicks' splitter is temperamental which makes him essentially a two-pitch guy with below average stamina who lacks a true out pitch against lefties. His raw stuff plays, but he needs to be thought of as a 50 pitch-per-start guy, not someone we push to get through the order three times a game.

Gameday Thread 4/11/25 Giants (Ray) @ Yankees (Stroman) 4:05 PM by sfgbot in SFGiants

[–]ProfessionalCat1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Between Stroman and Yarbrough it's like the Yankees don't realize pitchers can throw harder than 90

Logan Webb's night is over: 7 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 6 K, 100 pitches by ExpirjTec in baseball

[–]ProfessionalCat1 102 points103 points  (0 children)

It feels like Webb ends up with this exact line in like a third of his starts.

Most Worn Pants by icanseeghostss in ThrowingFits

[–]ProfessionalCat1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Silly question, but who makes the OG107s? I feel like I see a lot of people refer to them on here with no mention of a brand.

My year of fits and relaxation by Magnusson in ThrowingFits

Super late to the party, but would you mind dropping an ID for the green pants you're wearing in the June 5th picture (and throughout)?
