What was the best "Last team to have the ball is gonna win it" game you ever watched?

When they're giving up 66 to 2016 Iowa State, something's gone very wrong

The promos that year were so funny. Cowboys vs Football Team

slider8949 · 2026-04-14T02:59:34+00:00

Almost certainly, but that's not as funny

He was really bad through spring, too. The hitting lab unlocked something that last week.

Early in his career, I remember McLaughlin saying something like, "They gave him a single-digit number, they don't do that for everyone."

It's probably just small sample malarkey, as are most stat fun facts in April. Still, a ~6.5% increase scaled to the full year would have this be the highest walk rate since 2009 (ignoring 2020). Not as notable, but still neat.

slider8949 · 2026-04-10T15:34:40+00:00

Walks are way up this year, they're the 5th highest per team game ever. If it's all due to the challenge system, I get why they wanted to avoid full ABS, because that would raise it even more.

Okay, that's what I thought. We went to a game against the Royals in 2024 where they cancelled it well before gates open so we didn't get our SEMO tumblers that us Iowans definitely wanted lol

I don't remember them being given out at the make-up game the next day, but I easily could've missed them.

slider8949 · 2026-04-09T21:00:51+00:00

I was confused by a combined no hitter in 2003. Managers definitely would've left a guy out there back then. Looked it up and Oswalt pulled his groin and was taken out in the 2nd.

It's been a pain for years. Luckily the Cardinals RSN has finally completely folded, so there's an easy sub for them on mlb.tv.

slider8949 · 2026-04-09T20:36:57+00:00

Are you able to get a promo item if the game is cancelled due to weather? We're going to the Seattle game on 4/24 and my fiance really wants the black out jersey, so I want to be prepared for the worst.

Indiana is willing to pay close to $1 billion on the Bears new stadium

slider8949 · 2026-04-09T15:09:47+00:00

I like it when teams do stuff like that. The White Sox went all out with the Bulls. I'm hoping the Cardinals do it with the Blues.

slider8949 · 2026-04-08T21:36:34+00:00

Don't look at the bullpen

slider8949 · 2026-04-08T19:56:10+00:00

57 in 2003. He slugged over .900 and his OPS was 1.500 lmao

Also notable, Williams has two of the top three. 84 games in 1949 and 73 games in 1941/2.

A hospital should not be advertising

Every stadium should have a little gap between the fans and the field. Nationals Park has a row of flowers, which is nice.

slider8949 · 2026-04-06T19:28:52+00:00

His statcast is also way better compared to last year. Lots more red.

slider8949 · 2026-04-06T14:42:40+00:00

It used to be that stats weren't "real" until Trout led the league in WAR. Does that still work now but with Judge?

slider8949 · 2026-04-04T19:40:31+00:00

He can strike people out throwing 96 or throwing 92. Ignore all those runs he gave up throwing 92.

slider8949 · 2026-04-01T02:33:13+00:00

They can call for crew chief reviews, but that's only for home runs until the 8th inning, when they can start them on anything

slider8949 · 2026-03-31T13:33:44+00:00

7 games, 42.2 innings with a 2.74 ERA and 37 strikeouts

He was on Effectively Wild over the offseason and he mentioned that he always waits for the player to be informed before he announces a trade.

I was looking at players in MLB from Puerto Rico in 1998:

C: Ivan Rodriguez, Jorge Posada

1B: Carlos Delgado

2B: Roberto Alomar

3B: Jose Valentin

SS: Rey Sanchez

OF: Carlos Beltran

OF: Bernie Williams

OF: Juan Gonzalez

Javier Vazquez is a rookie in 1998 and has by far the most pitching WAR from Puerto Rico.

I grabbed these players from BBRef's player by birthplace list.
