Irrelevant Dude

I get it. You don't want to let the runner advance to 2nd.

The guy just gave up his first runs is several months. It sucks, but it happens.

Ouch

So if PCA wins the MVP, it's only because of "Ohtani fatigue.". Not the fact that PCA has had an objectively better season by WAR. If only there was some metric that could measure how many wins a player's defense is worth and compare that to the value of a pitcher...

Oh shut the horsefeathers up Smoltz. You are clearly discounting PCA's defense.

Cool. More stories about Smoltz robbing home runs in batting practice please.

Something I've noticed a few times recently when PCA has made soft contact, he hasn't run at all. It looks odd, not something I'm used to seeing from him. It threw me off once or twice because I thought the ball was foul based on him not even leaving the batters box. I'm not saying it was going to make any difference for him to run on those particular plays. They have been as routine as routine gets. But I'm not used to seeing that out of PCA.

He "climbed the fence" aka: Jumped

Welp, that's a nice start.

Easy. You considered who was pitching.

The Cubs need Shaw back badly. Conforto in the lineup has run it's course.

That was awful by Conforto.

Webb didn't throw many pitches. Just get this one run in and then challenge the Mariners to score on Webb.

Boog and JD were talking about this a few games ago and how they want to keep the system as is because they like the strategy element. I could not disagree more with that opinion. If there's a way to get ALL the calls right, let's do it, and not let games be decided by a hitter or catcher's decision or non-decision to challenge a pitch.

Ugh. You gotta be sure there Busch.
