That indefinite suspension didn't last long after the Orioles got blasted for this decision.

[Wally Pryor 5261]

Damn, did the World Series end in November last season(s)?

 

[Scraps 13561]

Ends in Nov pretty much ever year now.

[Vic Mackey 47031]

Yep. Ended first week in November. That schedule lines up with how it played out last year.

Aaron Boone makes the most of his ejection.

 

Laz Diaz is turrrible, but that was not a blown call.  It was a pretty damn good pitch.  Boone going off the rez over it is about par for the course.

Chafin, new Mil reliever, goes BB/1B/BB to his only 3 hitters in top 10, next guy lets them all in. 

Does anyone want the NL Central?

That’s a pretty impressive lack of baseball knowledge. It’s ended in November 7 out of the past 15 seasons. You’re an Astros fan right?

[shadow_operative2.0 15980]

Sadly, no. 

[Helobious 9451]

Oh I had him confused for wulaw.

[shadow_operative2.0 15980]

Wulaw would have typed hundreds of words, with enough typos you think you're the one having a stroke.

This was after a Halloween game went past midnight:

That year was due to the 9/11 delay but as said it's normal now.

After the earthquake, the Bay Series was delayed 10 days but still finished on Oct 28.

Funny how adding two additional series to the playoffs extends the schedule.

About to be 4 Ls in a row & 5 under for SD. Good job, Preller.

A very small chuckle overshadowed by terrible data visualization.  Bader is neither a Ruth nor a Judge, yet their ovals overlap.  Same issue for the other two players.  RBG should be at the tangential intersection of three very narrow ovals or the intersection of 3 lines.

And it would work better with David Justice instead of Aaron Judge.  And throw this guy in there too:

Springer not thrilled.  Snyder tossed too.

Automate balls & strikes.  Fuck the human element.

I’d eat my dick the first ~150 PAs but would slowly adjust. 50 singles would get me a whopping .076 BA, I don’t see why that’s outlandish. Add in maybe 20 walks and 3-4 HBPs.

Even though I know this is trolling, zero chance. Divide all those by 10. And then in half. 

[Helobious 9451]

Roughly 50 weak singles for an athletic 30ish year old that played baseball from 8-18 in 650 plate appearences isn’t impossible. Choke up on the bat, short swing. It’s doable.

I think this number is entirely dependent on if the pitcher had ever met you

The problem is they know that you're fucking garbage compared to actual Major Leaguers. They don't have to pitch around anything. 

I'm sure you could slap a few singles or get walked a couple times but most of the time you'd be getting blown away by basic stuff like 95 down the middle followed by off speed.

It’s also not impossible for me to tittyfuck Kate upton tonight. Doable though? 

[InkaUtexas 25933]

Cross posting here and the Maui thread. Company makes great shirts. Good cause. Ordered three. One for me, my son and daughter. Fiance will steal mine. 

 

[Scraps 13561]

Bought one thanks

Great products. Got their Clemente hoodie and love it. Saw their store in Cooperstown and me and my kiddo became fans. Nice to see them doing this. Love going into formal meetings wearing their socks.

And that was the first game of a doubleheader.

Dodgers quietly starting to run away with the NL West.  8.5 up.

Pretty cool story of the Braves calling up a pitcher who also substitute teaches in off season and he pitched well yesterday vs the Mets.

The Cubs will take it

3-run yack by Pitt in bot 7 puts them up 4-2 over Cincy. First career homer for the kid, Cincy’s spiral continues.
