Woodward gets 100% blame for that one. Letting that spare face Trout a third time is comical. 

[UTexasFight 9375]

I've seen a lot of guys get called out for rounding second and forgetting to re-touch the base when they head back to first, but that's a new one.  

Apparently TOOTBLAN is pronounced Mallex

Things aren't going well in Chicago:

 

[Scraps 13538]

Ok need someone who knows how to find career leaders in non normal stats to help me out.

 

McTaggart tweeted this yesterday:

 

Career hits on 3-0 counts:

Alex Bregman: 1

Craig Biggio: 1

 

While I know 3-0 doesn't happen often and then most will take (especially lead off hitters) it just seems crazy to me that Biggio only had 1 hit on that count out of 3060 hits.

 

 

Anyway got me wondering who has the most career hits on a 3-0 count. Can someone find a list of like top 5 or something? Curious to who it is and how many.

 

 

[Scraps 13538]

By looking up random players i would think had alot I have seen 12 by Jeter....couldnt find a number on Rose

[spystud13 2371]

Front Row Amy is bundled up tonight on FS1. 

[Scraps 13538]

Found a new leader...Manny Ramirez with 18

 

 

Edit...Griffey 29

 

Double Edit: Big Hurt 39

[Pato del Muerto 52336]

At first I thought of vlad, then I wondered how many times he ever saw a 3-0 count.

At some point in hopefully near future, I'll be able to see "Big Hurt" without thinking about the Nugenics commercial with the huge cuckold guy.

[WBT 20411]

The Dbacks just walked it off.  The Sawks are now 2-8.

JFC josh Bell just hit a bomb to dead center in Pittsburgh. No idea on the distance but it went over the batters eye. 

 

Edit: 474 ft. Wow

Yeah I guess I kind of buried the lead haha

I’d pay $9.95 for Kela against Puig.

It’s those fucking hats. I don’t mind the yellow tops, but those caps don’t even look like baseball caps.

3 bombs, 6 RBI for Helobious’ new MVP candidate today. 

CD is now 0-22, 12 Ks, but he’s on deck! 

Hanser Alberto pitched for Balt.

0-23,13 Ks

Back in the old days, pitchers used to throw at your head for digging in the batter's box.

You should expect a pitch high and tight after you hit a home run.

Davis is creeping up on the all time hitless streak record, which is 46.  He’s 0 for 38 including an 0 for 21 ending last year. 

0-44 now, we could see history soon.

Certainly Latin players have a reputation of being level headed, gentlemanly sportsmen.
I try to stay away from the bash Derka threads as I feel that you sometimes get bullied. But gotdam, sometimes you deserve it. You fucking fat moron.

yeah, i was really asking for it here...??

i honestly have no clue what you're even upset about, but you're doing a great job of proving how incendiary and unhinged i am.

[Goo Punch 4275]

oh, and since you somehow couldn't decipher what i was saying:

Latin guys wear chains and swag their jerseys out and pimp their homers.

Everyone else in the league takes offense to it.

really belligerent stuff, i know.

Those one-knee practice throws from Arenado were fucking sick.

he seemed to exert so little energy while just firing strikes across the infield on one knee. truly awesome to watch.

[spystud13 2371]

Whoops, we get three outs an inning in this sport. 

[spystud13 2371]

Holy fuck, Blackmon!! 

[spystud13 2371]

Weird deal, Roberts sits Muncy against a righty even though he’s 4-6, 2 R, 3B, HR, 4 RBI, 2 BB in last 2. Then he uses him to PH in the fucking 4th with a 4-run lead & burns Freese.

Why not just start Muncy like always against a righty? Dumb.

That is some impressive fucking baserunning down 6. 

[spystud13 2371]

Cody kinda fucking pissed on that one. 

[Radical Larry 28528]

Good lord, that was a blast.

Didn’t see it live, but holy shit that Nolan play was silly.

He really stood and admired it, too.

Hit another one in the river later in the game too.

With a righty starting for Oakland, today could be the day.  46 is the record. 

His last hit was on Sept 14, 2018.  That hit ended an 0 for 17 streak, so he's now at 1 for his last 62.  I wonder what the longest 1-for record is.

September 2-3, 2018 he had back to back 2 hit games, from September 1-5 he had a 4 game hitting streak, and from August 27 - September 5, he had hits in 7 out of 8 games.

Today's the day, sports fans.  Futilityman* Chris Davis is going to make it happen.   As depressing as it is, you still have to root for the record.

 

*h/t deadspin

[spystud13 2371]

Check out Eugenio Velez, the dude he’s chasing. Finished ‘10 0-9, then went completely fucking hitless the next season to establish the record. Shockingly, never saw another MLB AB.

His is absolutely unconscious.  The talk out here is whether to buy out his (and Seager's) arbitration years with long term deals like the Braves gave Acuna.  We have a lot of dough coming off the books after this season.  I think we should.

Won't be easy with Boras as his agent, and this came out today from him.

Wow. He didn't K all that much either.  Some serious BABIP going on.

[spystud13 2371]

Crazy bot 2 at Wrigley. First two guys retired easily, then all kinds of shit happened... 

Throwing E by Pitt SS on a fucking routine play
IBB to Heyward to face Lester, who promptly doubles 
Single past the diving SS 
Bryant hit in the elbow 
Rizzo fucking DRILLS Taillon right on top of his head, stays in 
Javy literally throws his bat at a horrendous pitch in the LH batter’s box, bloops one over the SS 
Schwarber grounds to poor SS, who kicks it, then throws it away
Contreras finally Ks to end it

 

6 runs, 3 Es by one guy, a P almost dies, all after 2 quick outs. 

[spystud13 2371]

Javy’s play, haven’t found a good one of Taillon yet.
