    Takes a special type of arrogance to ask for an apology when wrong and then not apologize for being wrong.
    Speeccciiaaal type of arrogance…

    I think that is a big part of and I think most of these kids get taught the same basic swing from when they are kids being jammed into baseball academies that pour over the analytics and just pump out the same generic swing ... they aren't learning in the streets just playing any more. It just sucks that that part of the game has basically disappeared though there are a few still hanging on like Giancarlo Stanton.

    Hate that idea but agree it feels like it's inevitable at this point!

    Who's got the better pitcher going tonight?
    Gilbert or Flaherty?

    Gut says Gilbert but baseball is such a funny game where a guy that has obvious talent like Flaherty can put it together for 5 innings and look like a stud. Massive game tonight!

    Massive game TODAY.
    It's so dumb they have a playoff game at 1:00 on a weekday.
    Not even the WNBA is stupid enough to do that shit.

    Interesting approaches by the two networks, yesterday Turner went with a 5pm/8pm (central time zone) start times instead of Fox going with 3/7 today. Agreed that a 1pm local start time is crazy, just stagger the games already!

    No Nayls today but he probably is having a kid and his mind elsewhere. Ms haven’t said much so maybe there are complications? So that leaves Rayley at first . Need to get some production from a few other bats today.

    I heard Suarez is going to get some run at first and Williamson might be back in the lineup.

    A 1PM first pitch on a Tuesday is total BS.

    If you don't like this, you really won't like Wednesday when it's a noon start on the west coast!

    I saw a guy with a stance where his front foot is at the far left of the batters box... but I cant remember who he was. Had a huge leg kick too. Hit a homerun when I watched lol

    Everyone pitches him high and away. If you left one in the middle he made you pay.

    Flaherty was awful this year. But pitched good in his start vs Cleveland. Gilbert pitched his best toward the end of the season

    Hey baseball nerd, I asked a question… Don’t make me Google it.

    Do they ever postpone playoff games for rain? What happens? They play back to back to back games? What if it rains the whole week? Why don’t they ever play baseball in the rain? Is it because the rain will hit the ball and prevent home runs and stuff?
