He does insert himself in just about every conversation that comes up about it

After the first two games I think 2 things are very apparent. I know this is "thanks captain obvious" but I truly believe the rest of this series hinges on this.

1. Springer and/or altuve HAVE to get on base. It doesn't need to be both of them but just as long as somebody is standing on first base Boston has to throw to Bregs.

2. Yuli/Marwin/Correa don't care how we shift the lineup around SOMEBODY has got to drive in runs behind Bregman. If we can't find anyone in the 4 hole to drive all these base runners on Boston is going exaggerate this pitching around him even further despite how many people are on base in front of bregs.

Bregman is getting the Barry bonds treatment right now and he's doing the right thing. Take your 4 pitches and go stand on 1B hoping somebody can pick you up. Can somebody do it?

Maybe a topic for a separate thread, but will MLB do anything to address it in the offseason? What can/should they do?


It's doubtful this video/instance changes anything. This is a conversation that has been going on for a long time, and actually implementing or removing the rule has never got any traction.

The general consensus (except for Tyler Bauer) is that pinetar helps the pitcher get a better grip and feel for the ball. It doesn't necessarily increase spin rate, or make the ball fly funky. The reason the rule was originally created is so that balls aren't being ruined (this is from back in the day when balls were being used much much longer than 2-3 pitches).

There probably isn't a single team in MLB who doesn't have at least 1 pitcher guilty of using pinetar/some substance. That's why no team usually tries to have it enforced. But every year when the postseason rolls around, it gets brought up again

Or it expired. Stories are like snapchats and they disappear after a certain amount of time.

He posted it about 2 hours ago. I believe stories last 24 hours.

My favorite thing he said after his pop out in the 9th, "If I got it, it would have been on the street behind Fenway Park."

It's funny because it's true.

May not be the worst thing as Tyler hasn't looked great so far

Yes, which I am pro Kemp getting into this lineup. I don't love his defense, but you gotta take the good with the bad.

I thought they might think about Dh kemp against the righty. He's been fantastic at 9th. More traffic might let bregman see some hittsbke pitches too

It's dead quiet in Dodger Stadium as the Dodgers come to bat.

Literally sounds like a ST game.

I'll guess throwing your arm up when sliding into 2B is now legal.

This is going to go down much like the 94-95 Rockets seasons

Go 7 games against a huge market team that hasn't had success in a decades. (Knicks/Dodgers)

Sweep a small market team (brewers/magic) with a young superstar (yelich/Shaq)


You heard it here first
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.
