MLB 2022: The Long and Winding Thread

Dum-dum

 

nice tone deaf finish to that statement

 

two days to make that total

 

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Ok assholery over

Doesn’t say when they’d walk and if it would affect the all star game or what mlb would do in the interim. Would the Players Union cross the picket lines?

 

I wonder how we account for this. Especially in an age with when pitching would seem to have the advantage.

Twice as many teams in 2021 as 1951. More games. Smaller ballparks. Improved conditioning. Livelier ball.

What else?

 

Realmuto... Major League Trunt.

 

I'll add one thing which makes it even more interesting ... hitters in the 1950s weren't facing 100-mph cutters coming in from the bullpen. So the factors you mention must be very strong.

 

They crossed when umps were on strike
In Detroit, they talked to scabs

 

One of the great passages in Ball Four concerned Mantle getting shitfaced one night because he had the next day off
He was called upon to pinch hit and homered
When he got back to the dugout he looked at the cheering crowd and said: “Those people have no idea how tough that really was.”

 

Nine straight for the O's, and they reach .500 at their latest point since 2017.
