His principle has some merit, but this pitch doesn't apply to it. It wasn't close. Perdomo had a good eye, took a clear ball-4 and got punished for it
You can also just acknowledge you're wrong here... it's totally alright. You're basically blaming Perdomo for being good. He saw it was a CLEAR, UNMISTAKABLE ball and took it. Why would he golf at that pitch?? On the chance the ump might blow it? You don't see how bad that line of reasoning is?
Close to the ground
Don't assume it's some giant dog necessarily, either... 10 lb. pipsqueaks have been known to overrun entire California King sized beds
Oh wait, my game is Puerto Rico v. Italy!! Honestly, can't go wrong w/USA-Canada as the other, but I'm excited to see PR-Italy on Saturday!!
Woo, I get to see Canada in the quarters on Saturday!! I have 2 WBC hats - USA & PR - and I was hoping they'd go against each other, but now I have to hope USA even makes it!!

Stupid AI ruining my beloved em dash 😭
the dumb fuckin bumpkin who couldn't answer if it was a war or not despite himself calling it a war in the same interview where he said it wasn't one? ya, this'll go well.
Yeah, I was super keen on Brito last year but he labored through a busted year. Given their consistent issues filling a decent OF, is it time to move one of the MIs out there to strengthen that corps?
Never gonna pretend it's the same as real GM'ing, but I totally hear you on the management of players in the broader picture as I learned constantly w/manyyyy hours on OOTP. The personnel paths teams take make a lot more sense once you start playing at the very least
"Bazzaner" with bomb!! I'm sure Cleveland is gonna make him go back to AAA since he hit .225 there (not saying it's right, just that they will) but he also walked 25% of the time! I like Rocchio some but how much longer can they take high-70s wRC+ from him with Bazzana on deck?
can't remember if it was a vid or short, but saw something about how little 40 spd translated to WR success (quick, someone tell Al Davis!) but ya it is silly to not have to standardized if we're gonna care this much about it yearly

Blaming John is not only insanely ableist but also takes the heat from where it belongs --- on the garbageass BBC for airing it despite a TWO HOUR delay. Guess they were only given 1 edit for the whoooole broadcast!
drop the liiiinnnkk... do they have it in teal?
tough part is you're giving this out for free, no way someone is yoinking this and dropping it into a special tout suite!
Tarik Skubal struck out 4 batters over 2 scoreless innings in his first outing of the spring. Here’s a 96 mph sinker past Ryan Jeffers with 2 on in opening inning.
The giggle I giggled 🤣🤣
canada really being defeated by a guy named “j’accuse?” get serious
JACK HUUUUGHES!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
U! S! A!!!! 🏒
Might have some egg on my face, seems Kay is right and I had the pronunciation wrong by including the G (thought "Luhgranj")
Yeah honestly, I'm gonna eat the L here. Kay's closer than I thought and I was def wrong pronouncing the G (Luhgranjjj was what I was doin mentally)
I'm a dumbass, i thought you meant Lagrange pronouncing his own name lol. misread you, sorry
Wait, i missed it, do share!
Is Michael Kay calling him Lagrande?!?! Is that a nickname? He's tall, but not particularly large
