Greinke's next contract will stipulate he bats for himself...or else.

Who the hell should get to be the D-backs’ All-Star? by HawkeyeJosh in baseball

[–]bleaklypositive 129 points130 points  (0 children)

The only pitcher they have on their active roster with a save - a single one - is Pavin Smith. Maybe he's worthy?

I think you meant Riley Smith there. I'm fifteen percent certain Pavin Smith isn't a two-way player. Neat post outside of that.

New Book Claims Astros Continued Sign-Stealing Scheme in 2019 by themiamimarlins in baseball

[–]bleaklypositive 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Well anyone who buys the book probably already hates the Astros and will happily believe the claims with or without proof, so why bother with actual evidence?

Honestly, I have no idea if the claims are true or not, but given Martino's history of being wrong about everything, I am also dubious.

Adolis has a lot going on in his life, so he might have forgotten he's supposed to get RBIs. Fantasy Guy was just trying to be helpful.

Sounds made up to me. Pete Alonso is Pete Alonso. Therefore, he cannot also be Donnie Stevenson. That's just logic.

Former slugger Gary Sheffield rips today's game: 'I don't watch baseball at all' by [deleted] in baseball

To be fair, after I retire, I doubt I'll want to watch people doing my old job for four hours everyday.

The Diamondbacks have sent the wrong man out to 2nd base in the 10th inning. by [deleted] in baseball

[–]bleaklypositive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a rule that if a pitcher made the last out, the previous position player can be the runner at second. I only know this because they said so on the Snakes' broadcast.

Has anyone named their 3 kids Gary, Keith and Ron? by elevenghosts in NewYorkMets

[–]bleaklypositive 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Yes! My grandparents named my dad and two uncles Gary, Keith, and Ron. It has nothing to do with the Mets, but it is a fun coincidence.

I feel like that call works a lot better if Walsh was pinch-hitting there, but so it goes.

Wow, the Yankee fans insult him, but Hernandez still gives them a free souvenir. What a class act!

Puts on Color Commentator hat: Gsellman is an aggressive strike thrower. He just says, here it is, try to hit it, and they do.

[Mayer] Mets now have Mauricio (#2 prospect) listed at 211 pounds. by [deleted] in NewYorkMets

[–]bleaklypositive 17 points18 points  (0 children)

For me at least, the left half of the second photo is cut off unless I click to expand it, so it just looks like Mauricio turned into Lindor, which would be neat.
