First time he has scored from 1st on a double since 2019.  Whoops, official scorer changed it to a triple. 

Edited April 20, 2022 by Beau Vine
I'll bet he hasn't scored from first on a triple since 2019, either.

Cole tweet today is one of the better porches in its history. Got the Angels broadcast team:

Not sure the dude that got stabbed outside a titter should really be running his mouth. 

 

And the slide...

We’re just ignoring last year when he was an all-star and one of the best pitchers in the league without it?

Yes.  It's more fun to fan the flames of controversy.  Never let the facts get in the way of a good narrative.

Shit wasn't even dirty.   I would love to see Pham get his ass kicked though 

[bad_teammate 13,224]

That wasn't dirty, it was just extremely awkward and unathletic. So... baseball.

I didn't get to see the segment, will watch later tonight, but on MLB Now Brian Kenny was brining up "will we ever see another 3000 hit player" after Miggy gets to it soon.  

https://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/H_active.shtml

That is the current active hits leaders with yrs,age.  

I still think Altuve gets there, but losing 100 games in 2020, and now some injury issues the past couple seasons, it is going to be way fucking closer than I originally had thought.  

Freeman needs 8 years of 160 hit avg to make it.

Past those two the youngest guy with at least 1000 hits right now is Lindor at 1013 (28ys old).  

 

Is Kenny onto something?  I find it hard to believe it will NEVER happen again, but it may indeed be awhile.  

[Scraps 13,577]

Oh and I don't see Trout ever staying healthy enough to do it, but fwiw he is 30yrs old at 1427 hits

[Scraps 13,577]

Well Freeman is one hit closer lol 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,029]

Appears Keuchel faced 11 batters in the 2nd without retiring a single one.

La Russo must have been taking his afternoon nap.

Once analytics decided that striking out is better than getting a hit, this was bound to happen. Sure no one will hit major milestones anymore but at least the games are less exciting to watch.

[WBT 20,669]

That also ties into guys not getting long contracts past 30 though right?  How many guys are going to be able to hang around being shitty as long as Pujols has?

Are the years of teams telling hitters to ignore the shift instead of taking a free single not enough evidence that I’m right? I really didn’t think it was even debatable.

Could be right.

Take Vladdy for example. Say he's productive until 37 and doesn't miss a season. He'd need to average 174 hits to get to 3k. Over 15 seasons. 

The 60 game (or whatever it was) COVID season doesn't help these younger guys.

There’s been strike shortened seasons before, and players have missed time for war & injuries before. It doesn’t help but those 100 games probably wont make or break anyone. For example team philosophies on rest have changed with time as well. A starter with the Yankees would’ve been benched in 40 of those games for no reason & still gotten hurt anyway.

This was his 2nd of the year. He now has one from each side of the plate.

Miggy has 3 knocks tonight. Up to 2,999

Ramirez is too damn good 5”9 165 stubby little fucker who does nothing but show out, offense, defense, stolen bases, that dude would lead a better team to a World Series.

On mlb network now and he is up

[Scraps 13,577]

Womp womp he K'd

Soon

[Sbbruin 21,891]

The A’s have drawn 3,700 and 2,700 fans respectively the last 2 games.  2,700 is the fewest non Covid for any game since 1980.  Pitiful.

No, we're noting his 2021 splits which show a 1st half ERA of 2.68 and 2nd half of 4.14. Hmm, wonder if the crackdown that was announced on June 21, 2021 (about 10 days before the break) had an impact. Let's not even discuss the gem he put up in the WC game. You know, the one game that really mattered. And where he was fully inspected. But I'm sure it was just a fluke and had nothing to do with the crackdown. Probably just a late season swoon.

Enjoy paying the man Ace of Aces money for 4th starter work. Should pair nicely with whatever time bomb is put together for Judge. You'll always have 2009.

Lord knows the Dodgers need all the help they can get.  Fortunately the conspiracy is in full effect.
