General Baseball Chit-Chat Thread

Christopher Sanchez went 7 scoreless to extend his scoreless streak to 44 2/3 innings. It’s the 7th longest streak in the Live Ball era and the 11th longest ever.

Bellinger as Yankee has a career 173 wRC+ in Yankee stadium and a career 90 wRC+ on road.

It was a kid who thought Jesus was asking for him to throw the ball to him.

Shout-out to Uribe's Degeneration-X crotch-chop.

Sanchez goes 6.2 shutout and allows an RBI single to Merrill. What a bummer.

Ohtani could soon have a 1.0 OPS and a sub-1 ERA. 50/50 season somehow wasnt enough for him lol

 

This dude is the biggest 1:1 in sports. Its unbelievable.

Yeah, I'm sure as the years go on we'll see other guys try to do both, and some will likely be successful. But I'd be shocked if anyone comes anywhere close to being as good at both as he is.

I still wish he could play like 2-3 years in the outfield just so he could try to add a gold glove. There's no way with his speed he wouldn't at least be an above average OFer. And we know he can throw the ball so that's not an issue.

What the horsefeathers did the Brewers do to fix Vaughn? This horsefeathers bugs the hell out of me. 

 

Oh and Bauers is now over 900 OPS as well. Lovely.

two absolute dogshit players that are all of the sudden MVP candidates. fishy if you ask me

Brewers outscored the A's 5-1 in the 7, 8, and 9 to force extras, and now have a 4 run 10th after Contreras hits a 465 ft bomb.

 

Chourio, Turang, Bauers, and Vaughn all have better wRC+ than our leader, Happ. 

 

Quietly in the midst of another .800 performance since the calendar flipped to May.

Because they're moving to Vegas in a couple years?

The better question is why did they decide to have this series in June rather than April. Today was the coolest day with a high of 98. Sunday they're playing at noon and the high is expected to be around 110.
