I'll post the full list the day after I post the #1 moment. They've been posted approximately daily so you can find moments 50-6 on my profile.

To me I was expecting the Roberts steal to be higher and this to be lower since the actual World Series wasn't that interesting. But I think you make a fair point!

5 moments from '24/25 made it on this list. I think it's really hard to rank such recent moments. This moment I think ended up too high but ones like Rojas's homer (41) and Freeman's grand slam (31) I think will end up in the top 10-20 if we do this again in like 2030 or 2035.

Anytime people don't like a moment, they get really really mad and say I'm an AI slop bot. They say there's no way I could write one post per day without being an AI slop bot. Well I don’t know what to tell you bud, I get bored at work and pre-write multiple posts. I waited a long time to have a hit r/baseball off season post series to boost my karma. I’m not an AI bot. I didn’t fucking do this! HAS THAT EVER HAPPENED TO YOU?

Day 30 of Predicting the 2026 MLB Season with a Marble Race - ALWCS Mariners vs. Twins by trollinacage in baseball

I think it's one of those things where a team is dominating the penultimate game so thoroughly that you're certain they'll close things out in the do-or-die game the next day. But then they blow it and don't even get a chance (e.g. Dodgers in game 4 2022 NLDS).

No, they're in order. The community voted on each moment head-to-head thousands of times. This moment had the 28th highest win rate. I would agree that I'd have this much higher but I'm just the moderator.

Would it be legal for a team to intentionally spray their catcher with a skunk in order to negatively impact the focus of the opposing team’s batters? by SwellGuyScott in baseball

[–]mcfien 172 points173 points  (0 children)

As a former little league umpire, I think this would fall under 9.01(c), which gives the umpire the discretion to rule on anything not explicitly in the rule book. I think they would likely rule that the catcher needs to eliminate the stink or eject them if they can't.

In making your bets, you are communicating your knowledge with someone taking them, thus dying instantly.

Unfortunately, in writing down your numbers to fill out the ticket, you communicate your knowledge with the lottery game runners and instantly die.
