Great new feature on MLB tv. It's like red zone for baseball. But also split screen
Same here. Glad I'm not the only one.
I'll add to this.Eso si, Que es said:splits don't support that. Furthermore, vs the 4 seam fast ball Meyers has a walk/k of 0.42 (2021) and 0.17(2022) while Chazz has a walk/k of 0.39 (2021) and 0.82 (2022).EastCoastAgNc said:“With Cease’s fastball he throws, I think (Meyers) has a better chance to hit him than McCormick does,” Dusty Baker said.

Jake might go off tonight, stats still don't support he is an offensive upgrade over Chaz and the disrespect of sitting Chaz next to Stanek in some kind of weird Dusty time out penalty box.
2021 Chas wasn't great vs 4 seam and Jake was great in a smaller sample. 2022 came around and Chas improved greatly and kept a semi-large sample. Jake kept a smaller sample and sucked.
Dusty can play who he wants to play. Its his job. When he gives his rationale, it worries me at times.

Chas was 2nd to Yordan in hitting the 4 seamer.
Man, we are in midseason form on Dusty bashing, TexAgs doesn't need a spring training to be ready for opening day!
unfortunately, Dusty is also in midseason form on lineups.

I'm not going to complain about Dusty this season. I think he's earned that much. If anything he and AJ have proven to me that being the world's best or worst tactician doesn't make that much of a difference in a manager either way.

Joey is still getting the shift.
Royals brought right fielder MJ Melendez way in vs. Joey Gallo, basically playing him at deep second base, and shaded the other outfielders toward right field to cover for him.

So what happened? Gallo hit a grounder directly to Melendez ... and he bobbled the ball for an error. pic.twitter.com/8IglIymHbu

watching rangers is horrible.
I can't articulate how bad watching the rangers is with Manfred joining the booth for an inning. Atleast the Phillies are smacking around the rangers new shiny toy.

I get it, but I don't like it. I kind of wish the ump would give a little bit of leeway here with 2 strikes. I am pro pitch clock, but if this happens in the key moment in the postseason, I am not going to be happy at all (unless it benefits us).

These TV broadcasts have got to start showing the pitch clock for viewers somewhere
They do. Its the red clock above the count.Ag_07 said:

Other broadcasts are doing it differently.
105+
16 pitches at 101 or higher.
Holy ****!
It's all horrible
The cavernous stadium, the ugly carpet, Brett Dolan, Rob Manfred
And on the way out Dolan thanks Manfred for what's he's doing for the game of baseball. Seriously...Barf

Braves game earlier- Acuna on 1st with lefty pitcher. Big lead, lefty picks twice so he's done. Acuna huge lead since the pitcher can't do anything and steals 2nd
Can the runner just start halfway? This is stupid

McCutchen still plays in the MLB?
And Smith-Njigba, related to the Ohio St WR?

It's in different spots on different score bugs, but it's there or everybody's I believe. I've been watching all the games so far
Also, the Rangers have a retractable roof and kept it open...and now it's raining. What idiots
No. You can pickoff a 3rd time but if you have to get him out or it's a ball
I have a good friend who falls in the 1st category. I don't want to make friends with a sipHarry Dunne said:

I knew you would beat me to it, but as soon as I got home from school pick up and read the "Jake vs Cease fastball" tripe I hopped on statcast so fast...
How much are y'all putting down for the Astros to win it all in 2023?
$100, 1k?, 10k??

he called it at 6 seconds. I think I will be most frustrated if they are not consistent and it become arbitrary. Maybe we will see a change to 20 second clock anytime someone has 2 strikes to avoid the backwards K?Farmer1906 said:

Related question: How are pitches counted for the pitchers? I am assuming I will see the following on the scoreboard for pitch count: 6 strikes 4 balls 8 total pitches (the total won't align if there are clock violations?) Or will the official scoring only include pitches thrown (like an intentional walk?)
Rangers in true mid-season format on the mound and at the plate!

The only good thing about that place is the roof because now my wife will go to Astros games there in the summer
Degrom has given up 3 doubles, 2 triples, 1 HR and 4 runs through 3.1 IP.
I'm going to go ahead and trademark the triple threat of Meyers, Maldonado and Mauricio as MeMaMa to strike fear into the hearts of opposing pitchers

This is the FIRST game in Jacob deGrom's career where he has allow SIX extra base hits.

Plus they have like one small monitor located in weird spots around the concourse and not nearly enough of them so you can't keep track of the game while you get concessions (which is ever more critical now with the up tempo).Ag_07 said:

It's comical how poorly they designed it...first they tried to copy us from the way it looks on the inside but made it look like a horse barn on the outside. Then they REALLY did copy us (and by us I mean 1970's Astrodome) with that awful turf that somehow looks even worse than the Astrodome's.
It was such an easy layup for them...build the stadium in downtown Dallas, put in real grass, have tons of tech in the concourse areas (hell, there are still plenty of tech companies in the area) and boom, revitalize downtown and make it the place to be in the summer.
Such idiots but if any fanbase deserves it, it's them.
