I need Scott in the worst way to get on his high horse and bitch about saber metrics Wouldn't happen in Taiwan. Last week there was a 142 pitch no-hitter in Taiwan. But the number of pitches wasn't even the best part. The coolest part of it was that Ultraman was in attendance., https://www.bleachernation.com/baseballisfun/2021/04/02/former-big-leaguer-tim-melville-just-threw-a-142-pitch-no-hitter-in-taiwan-and-then-did-a-uhm-dance/ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Interesting stat for the White Sox fans on here. Last year they were 21-25 when starting pitcher was a righty. 14-0 vs lefty. To start this year they are 0-3 vs righty and 1-0 vs lefty. Stats courtesy of Jesse Rogers on Twitter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, drilling a guy on purpose (Woodford) is not even worth a fine. Molina got fined, but not suspended. And he pushed an umpire. Somebody at MLB headquarters has been sniffing glue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geez a lou...2 games?!?! For that?!?!? If a brawl akin to the Braves and Padres circa 1984 ever broke out what would they do? Suspend both teams forever? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just getting caught up and saw the 2 game suspension. Absolutely brutal. I'm a closet Reds fan sometimes because of this board...and honestly I love the way Castellanos plays. MLB better get some stuff in order. Losing fans. Game is boring (to some)....and for the life of me players can't ever show any excitement.

Part of me thinks this is blatant favoritism by MLB towards the Cardinals, especially since Molina got away with just a fine when he clearly pushed an umpire out of the way. The other part of me thinks no punches were thrown and no suspensions were necessary. Fines yes. Suspensions no. But, there is absolutely no part of me that thinks this is a justifiable punishment. It's ludicrous. He didn't charge the mound when he got hit. He didn't go out of his way to take the guy out on the slide. He simply flexed and probably told him to do something awkward to himself. There are a lot worse things happen in MLB that go unpunished. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be shame to remove that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
