Dumb list! he started younger than everyone there. He's the 9th youngest to reach 100, right in front of Pujols, Aaron and Griffey

I'd agree with that--age is far more significant than games played.

I haven’t really been paying much attention this baseball season so maybe you lot can help me: Who the fuck is Wander Franco and why are his rookie cards going for like $10,000 on eBay?
― Mr. Snrub, Monday, 21 June 2021 19:05 (three years ago) link
He's baseball's top prospect and is debuting tomorrow

wander franco is the next vladimir guerrero jr. he can't miss, and he will definitely be a superstar on his first day in MLB as opposed to after a year and a half of merely average production as a 20-year-old
― Karl Malone, Monday, 21 June 2021 19:09 (three years ago) link
He's also the first MLB player who was born in the year 2001

Kelenic debuted with the same fanfare recently and struggled so mightily that they sent him back down.

Does anybody care that the Orioles are getting no-hit in the eighth

nope! is it a journeyman or a legend doing it

Ha ha I fixed it, Mikael Franco just whaled a two-run HR

This is def the first game I ever tuned into a game specifically for a players debut, and I definitely yelled when he hit that jack

First PA was a walk that started 0-2 on two foul balls, it was a gutsy walk if such a thing exists
DOUBLE HELL YEAH WANDER BEST PLAYER OF ALL TIME
― Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Wednesday, 23 June 2021 01:51 (three years ago) link
I missed the HR (of course), but saw the walk (great discipline: 0-2, two borderline strikes), the hard out, and he just crushed that double.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 23 June 2021 01:52 (three years ago) link
That's all I need to see: I'm shopping for one of those $10,000 rookie cards right now.

Hell of a double play!!!! (maybe)

At the coaching level, less launch angle and more Rod Carews? But maybe that doesn't pay off in wins, I don't know.
― clemenza, Thursday, 24 June 2021 18:54 (three years ago) link
I still think the strike zone is too generous, especially in the higher area.
― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 24 June 2021 20:58 (three years ago) link
Pretty sure every single starting pitcher that began the season with the Cleveland Baseballs is now on the DL.

nola w ten straight strikeouts, tying tom seaver's record.. facing alonso now to break it

alonso slapped at a tough down and away pitch w two strikes & got a double
― johnny crunch, Friday, 25 June 2021 21:16 (three years ago) link
Damn, single...But there's a record just for first-x-outs-were-strikeouts, right?
― clemenza, Friday, 25 June 2021 21:16 (three years ago) link
Double, I meant.
I feel if they are going to try and reduce the three true outcomes, they also need to do something to discourage the home run / all or nothing mentality. If they want to move the mound back, also move the fences back.
― Michael F Gill, Friday, 25 June 2021 21:22 (three years ago) link
singles are now homers, homers are now outs, triples are the same, doubles are singles

I don’t think any of the ideas in the article are particularly great. I don’t mind 7 inning doubleheaders though, because it speeds up the pace of play and makes those games a little more unique.
― Michael F Gill, Friday, 25 June 2021 21:35 (three years ago) link
moving the fences back would be amazing but it's literally impossible in some (many?) parks and would cut into seating
i think i'm on record as being in favor of 7 innings games in general
― Tracer Hand, Friday, 25 June 2021 22:43 (three years ago) link
like..... if you can't get it done in 7 innings maybe you can't get it done
― Tracer Hand, Friday, 25 June 2021 22:44 (three years ago) link
7 inning games could theoretically cut back on reliever usage…or just entrench it idk
― k3vin k., Friday, 25 June 2021 22:58 (three years ago) link
teams wouldn't need to carry as many pitchers on their rosters, you'd think
― Tracer Hand, Friday, 25 June 2021 23:05 (three years ago) link
- deaden the ball even more- move the fences back- enlarge the bases- move the rubber back- 7-inning games- no ghost runner- no shift constraints
