MLB 2022: The Long and Winding Thread

Clay Bellinger just hit his second home run of the game, his fourth of the season. How scary is the Dodgers' offense if he is finally figuring things out again?

 

Bellinger is showing great restraint laying off juicy but unwise to swing at pitches.

That lets him own the count and tee off.

I acknowledge he might go 4 for his next 37 with no homers and 3 singles.

 

Kyle Schwarber has finally had enough of Angel Hernandez.

 

Kyle shoulda swung the bat. That was a strike.

 

There are at least four different clips from this game that are 100 times worse. I can't wait to see his ump scorecard tommorow

 

The video was great, and whoever called it a fountain of Gatorade made me chuckle.

 

The funniest part is that it was 1-0.

 

He'd definitely have gotten close. Not sure he'd have gotten all the way there, but it would be interesting.
Cano had 1,649 hits through his age-30 season. Of the 39 players with 1,600 to 1,699 hits through age 30 seasons, only six got to 3,000.
He'd be around 2,800 instead of his actual 2,631.

 

Here's the issue with Boggs. He only did two years at Pawtucket, but the second of them was the strike-shortened season of 1981. The AL hit leader, Rickey, had 135, that year. So I'm not sure on costing him the full 300, but he was an artist.

 

Opinion: I’m a minor-league pitcher. Why can’t baseball pay a living wage?
