With the Tucker incident today, I can't believe no one has brought up the move that d-bag Grandal pulled in the ALDS

I know the bar is low, but Diaz's 107.4 EV is harder than every ball put in play by Maldonado except for 3 from 2020-2023.

Crazy just how many play off series there have been in the last 6 years that I completely forgot the White Sox were ever in one

Remember, early games this week. 5:35 tonight and tomorrow and then 11:35 Wednesday.

Apparently the Pirates start evening home games half an hour earlier before Memorial Day and after Labor Day to help accommodate families and school nights.

Proton VPN let's you connect to Japan and Netherlands servers for free. Just have to create an account to do so. No trial necessary.

Sounds smart. Especially for a team who might struggle to get fans. More teams should look at that.

I wish we would do this. I know I'm an olds but getting home around 1030 or 11 isn't as appealing as it used to be.

I think they're doing it so they don't have to use the lights at the stadium as much save $500 a game.

I hope this will work itself out organically with Yainer's bat becoming too valuable to bench. Maldy is proud and talks a big game, but I suspect that he will be the consummate pro about it.

No respect for Julks.

All 3 of the games were in Minny's favor.

It's early but we're one of the bottom few.

Headed to San Antonio for training all week and need some help - best place to catch the Astros game at? Going to be just northwest of downtown.

Too early to get too much from this, but Breggy, TED, & Maldy lead in the unlucky department. Chas especially, but Julks & Abreu are on the lucky side.

wow, a full 250 points of bad luck for Bregs is pretty painful. Figure we'd have at least a few more w's if that normalized

I'd be curious to see a hitter's spread in comparison to that. Possibly one reason certain hitters are "unlucky" could be that they hit the ball consistently to one part of the field so teams are ready for it.

Somewhat true. Some guys will consistently over or under perform due to tendencies. Bregman usually is on the favorable side because he can abuse the Crawford boxes. Yuli was another one who was usually better than expected because he used the whole field.

Maybe, maybe not. Overall, we're slightly favorable (lucky?) as a team hitting. Pitching on the other hand has been unfavorable (unlucky)

yes, consistency to one part of the field is definitely part of it

makes a hitter easier to defend

of course one solution to this...drive the ball over the outfielders' heads and/or the fence

PNC is at the top of my list (maybe tied with Petco) for Ballparks I want to visit.

Beautiful view. One of my cousins used to live really close to there, but the jerk moved to Charlotte, NC before I had a chance to visit.

It's a very nice park. Easily the top of the stadiums I've visited - although that list is way too short

Agreed. I find it hard to pick between PNC and Oracle Park in San Fran. Both have just stunning views from the entire park.

So. Yordan's first games at PNC. He's got a chance of hitting one into the river. Popcorn mode engaged.
