The 2023 Running Baseball Thread

I know I don't need to tell you this but he turned out to be the perfect Mets prospect. Looks fucking great on paper, looks the fucking part in uniform and in bits and pieces on the floor, but it never quite comes together. He was better than Alex Escobar, at least.

 

Fun little moment from Royals-Guardians. I have been a fan of Greinke's for many reasons for a long time.

J.D. Drew was one of the gracefully beautiful baserunners especially first to third.

 

Always with the numbers, baseball.

111 pitches thrown

 

Complete game. He's not bad. And they're saying one-hitter now.

 

Yep, I typoed at first. One-hitter.

In Game 2, Ohtani becomes the first player in MLB history to throw a CG and then homer in the second game of a DH

 

Since 2012, the White Sox have had pitchers Chris Sale, Giolito, Dylan Cease, Carlos Rodon and Michael Kopech in their starting rotation. All of them have/had outstanding stuff.

Chicago has made the playoffs once in that span (2021) and was easily cast aside by Houston in the ALDS.

I guess they're back on the win-a-World-Series-every-90-years pace.

 

Lifted from the game after his second homer, so he won't be able to pitch the ninth for the save.
