College ball, not MLB, but holy shit this ump needs to be fired now. Kudos to the catcher. Also, a bunch of white dudes in the comments on the umps side talking about “teaching the batter a lesson”. Wonder why?

Bauer going to Japan apparently. Is that his MLB career over?

Because of this guy:
Ohtani and Trout deserve a shot at winning the World Series anywhere else.
I see.Because baseball is both the ultimate 1:1 game and team game, at the same time. To put it in terms of united:
Ohtani is one of the best pitchers in baseball. Cas is one of the best DM's in football. Imagine if Cas only played 1 in 5 games.
Trout and Ohtani are 2 of the best hitters in baseball. Martinez and Varane are two of the best CB's in football. Imagine if Utd's opponents could automatically bypass them every time they attacked our goal.
Essentially, baseball is a game in which all 10 players (boo, the DH is an abomination) need to function for a team to be successful.
I see.
I’ve heard that with basketball, the players are the most important. With football, it’s the coaches. And with baseball, it’s the GM. So it’d make sense as it’s down to the GM to put together a strong team of 10.
Add the Rem Dawg, Jerry Remy in Boston to the list, whenever I got the choice I always had him onI know the feeling, felt the same about Chick Hearn (Lakers) and Vin Scully (Dodgers). Thousands of hours, many of them working with my dad in the garage or yard, were spent with those guys bringing the games to life on our ancient little portable radio.
DH makes sense, without it there wouldn't have been Big Papi and Ohtani would basically have to choose pitching or hittingBecause baseball is both the ultimate 1:1 game and team game, at the same time. To put it in terms of united:

+1Hard disagree my friends. The DH is an abomination. It removes a huge chunk of strategy from the game. Should we allow designated FT shooters in basketballl? How about designated free kick takers in football? Hate it.
WTF?
Is eye contact actually a rule? I've never heard of such before.That's dumb...the umpire already went into his croutch as he was prepared. What this doesn't show is the seconds/time before the umpire signaled play or what happened before everyone was engaged in their positions...pitcher on the rubber ready to go, catcher in position, umpire right before croutching down, and how long the batter was in the box with both feet. This should have stood as a strike.

Every year I say I'm going to keep up with baseball this season, and I'm usually out by the end of April.
This year though, this is the one. Let's go Phillies.
Question for the baseball lifers, how many full games do you watch a week, when teams typically play 5/6/7 times a week?
As a Giants fan living on the east coast the answer these days is 0.
Back In grad school all I could afford was the radio package and I have, 20 years later, very fond memories of sitting on my apartment deck in the sun listen to K&K call games. Listened to 2-3 games a week, especially when playing East/Central away games.
