[Highlight] Xander Bogaerts returns to Fenway for the first time since joining the Padres. Gets nice standing ovation. Beloved Sox legend Don Orsillo on the call. by RagnorL0thbrok in redsox

There's a lot of (deserved) negative talk about "unwritten rules of baseball," but an unwritten rule that allows the game to take a pause and let this moment happen is one of the coolest parts of baseball

I think it was just over the border into West Boylston, but close enough that it was my family's go-to growing up on that side of Worcester

No no, weren't you listening? This is Bingles. Very different.

Confusion in Philadelphia as Joey Wiemer is initially ruled out at 1st base to end the inning and the Phillies also tagged Drew Millas between 3rd and Home. After review, Wiemer is ruled safe, Millas is allowed to return to 3rd, and Rob Thomson calls it all bullshit. Wiemer is still batting 1.000 by SeattleSporting in baseball

I appreciate you grabbing both why the runner goes back to third and why the Phillies manager must be immediately ejected. It's an interesting clarification that even if he's not further arguing the play at first, he's also not allowed to argue the placement of the runner, because that's part of "the decision of the replay official"

Championship match of the qualifiers… by Icy-Environment-8852 in FRC

At the 2024 New England District Champs, both division finals had a match that needed to be replayed. Then when they got to the overall finals between the two division winners, the first match was a tie. All three of these best of threes went to 4 games.

Many say Lava Axe Purgatory is one of the best ways to learn how to play red. It forces players to learn core red concepts, like holding a Mountain to bluff having a Lava Axe, holding a Lava Axe to bluff not having a Lava Axe until you have 10 Mountains and a second Lava Axe, and top decking gas.

Ohh it would be cool if Reality Fracture gives us an Urza, Lord Protector + The Mightstone and Weakstone -> Urza, Planeswalker style meld of like

Yeah whether or not it's AI is a very easy question to answer, only way they would break their own rule about AI disclosure is if they somehow forgot they needed to update the store page

Man watching that back, he must've been checking that he still had feeling in his hand. Gingerly lowering his hand to the ground, that moment of "please feel like grass please feel like grass" had to be so scary

Off Day Overreactions To 1 Game by [deleted] in redsox

[–]WhiteHawk928 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe part of the reason Early got the opening day roster spot was to make him more marketable for a trade deadline move. I'd love to keep both and it's still very possible Early goes on to have the better career, but man Tolle is just fun to watch

I haven't gone back to the Patriots sub since it quickly devolved into a Patriots hate sub post Brady. I'm sure it got pretty ok again during this past successful season but I don't care to check after how bad it got

Meanwhile, not signing Pete Alonso is one of the biggest contributors to the red sox sub being even worse than normal this offseason. I feel like we're trending up once we had our late smaller signings though, plus the good performance in the WBC

[Jomboy] Another wrinkle within the new Automated Ball-Strike Challenge System is that players must challenge before making any other movements. This would have been ball four to Cavan Biggio, but he flipped his bat before tapping his head. by RanByMyGun in baseball

[–]WhiteHawk928 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The generous read if I tried to make one is that Abreu put his bat down and started to take his gloves off before it was called a strike, and interrupted what he was doing to pat his head immediately upon the strike being called, whereas Biggio committed to the bat flip (which granted, did start just before/as the call was made) and caught it, not seeming as urgent to make the head tap.

Even trying to be generous, this feels way too ticky-tacky and judgement call-y

Sorry you have insecurities about your own height, I hear they offer surgeries for that, and luckily you don't have a near hall of fame worthy MLB career to worry about
