I understand why the balk rule exists, but the nitpicky parts like "oh he flinched the tiniest bit" need to go away. Maybe I don't fully understand the rule (so correct me if I'm wrong)  but I didn't see anything on the Mis balk call.

EDIT: Especially when lefties get away with so much worse, like Vesia just did.

Dodgers are in trouble if Ohtani is just some dude now

He's been worse than just some dude.😁  His wRC+ in the postseason is 29 or something around there.  That makes me happy, though.😄  Smith is even worse.

Just some dude would be an improvement. He's no where 100% and it's showing.  I know they won 100 games, can't shake the feeling age their age is beginning to show and it's nearing the end for them.

They have the names on offense but the production isn't there.

Ohtani is hurt. .889 OPS for the year but .772 in the second half.
Freeman had a .792 OPS this year.
Betts had a .780 OPS this year.
Tucker had a .715 OPS this year.

In years past you'd look at starting with Ohtani-Betts-Freeman and it's daunting. Then you have the rest of the guys after who were decent. But now, they've got a bunch of fine hitters, but nobody that terrifies you. They're not a bad offense by any means. But there's a drop off for sure. Basic measurement but, 906 runs in 2023, 842 in 2024, 825 in 2025, 801 in 2026.

I’m almost resigned to the fact that the brewers will win the World Series. Every single bounce and inch is going their way and the dodgers traded Ohtani for John Berti to DH. It makes me sick. horsefeathers Wisconsin.

How did they keep laying off of those perfectly located splitters just off the plate low?
