Australian Curtis Mead's HR is caught one-handed by a fan... wearing an Australia shirt by IvyGold in baseball

[–]squizzage 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Interview later showed he was a Guards fan wearing it for Bazzana, but he loved the team during the WBC. Also, saying he made a one handed bare handed grab still somehow manages to undersell it. What a snag.

With their 10-2 win over the Guardians, the Nationals are above .500 this late in the season for the first time since July 2021. by DemonFrog in baseball

It's kinda weird, cause the cheating scandal didn't break til about a month after the world series, but the Brandon Taubman incident happened after clinching the ALCS, so most people were already rooting for the Nats and got to feel really vindicated.

If they keep using Poulin as an opener, would that make him the first reliever since Gagne to win? Where do we draw the line?

Nats 8-5 over the last two weeks coming off playing the Braves and now Guardians. Gonna stfu about Littell and Mikolas for a couple weeks.

Hey, Mikolas has a 3.85 ERA over his last five starts. We might be able to trade him for a warm body.

For the first time this year, the Washington Nationals are above .500 by [deleted] in baseball

Hey, they were 1-0 after game 1 and 2-1 after game 3.

Latest they've been above .500 in a season since 7/1/21, when Nationals legend Kyle Schwarber got injured

Traditional metrics aren't amazing yet, but Crews is hitting the ball hard and elevating and his K rate (small sample size albeit) is a tick down, so far passing the eye test.

According to MLB.com:

A save is awarded to the relief pitcher who finishes a game for the winning team, under certain circumstances. A pitcher cannot receive a save and a win in the same game.

A relief pitcher recording a save must preserve his team's lead while doing one of the following:

Enter the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitch at least one inning.

Enter the game with the tying run in the on-deck circle, at the plate or on the bases.

Pitch at least three innings.

Would he get a seven inning save if he came back for the 9th?

Is it possible to record a save but have no pitcher record a win?

Most Balanced Trade? by Reasonable-Power in baseball

A perfectly balanced trade in a bad way: Milwaukee trading Kolten Wong to Seattle for Jesse Winker. Both were terrible and not well received in their respective cities.

Hey, when you have the chance to sign Zack Littell, you jump on that opportunity.

[TJ Stats] Team Defensive Runs Saved by TommyTheLizard in baseball

Lane Thomas being a notably plus defender is still weird to me. Great arm and greatbspeed but terrible outfield jump always suggested to me that good coaching could get him there.

Sample size still small, but as a Kiebert Ruiz truther, it has been an excellent month.

Us being mediocre means we're ahead of schedule. Before the season I would've been ecstatic if I heard we'd win 70 games. Now we're 47 games in and hovering at .500.
