Votto's reaction to LaStella's catch needs to be enshrined in he HOF

I dressed as the Human Being for Halloween a while back. The junk display issues are real.

I googled Joe to see what in the hell he was getting at with the Mona Lisa quote he had at the end of that ESPN article on the Cubs yesterday. Here it is. Only makes slightly more sense. https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/video/joe-maddons-baseball-mona-lisa

I kind of doubt Joe even knows what year it is. He actually said this yesterday.

General Baseball Chit-Chat Thread

But...they don't let the amateurs play in majors... If you wanna see pitchers hit dingers, let them have a some kind of hitting competition during the all star break or something. ...they absolutely let amateurs play in majors. Not Aaron Rodgers amateurs or even Tony Romo amateurs, but amateurs all the same. -
General Baseball Chit-Chat Thread
JudasIscariotTheBird replied to David's topic in General Baseball Talk
Am I the only one that likes the pitchers hitting? If only because pitchers juicing home runs is really, really, extra cool. Wood, Z, Lester, and Arrieta hitting dingers are very fond memories in my brain. Here is my lame slippery slope argument: How long would it take after the DH is instituted league-wide until people are clamoring for shortstops to have their ABs covered by guys with Dadbods who can't field? 1) Pitchers occasionally hitting a homer doesn't make up for all the thousands of terrible AB's that we have to watch. 2) That is a very lame slippery slope argument. 1) I even enjoy the terrible ABs. It's entertaining in the same way Pro-Am tournaments are. 2) -

It’s clearly affecting him as he’s on pace for a 4.8 WAR season. Current fWAR: Contreras: 1.9 Posey: 1.7 Molina: 0.6 I think Molina owes Willy an apology.

On the bright side, this gave me the chance to see that gameday added a small amount of dirt getting shot into the air on a pitch in the dirt.

Yeah it's tough to compare it to another sports situation because it's 1) deliberately taking advantage of a rules loophole and 2) Golf specifically is self policing so nobody really looks for these kinds of loopholes, or at the very least, doesn't deliberately exploit them. What sport does not have people deliberately take advantage of rules loopholes? ...golf, ultimate frisbee, and too many others to list here?

He asked that question because he disgraced the game. I'm trying to think of a baseball parallel, and the best I can come up with is a pitcher starting his delivery to the plate without having his foot on the rubber, and then pretending like he just felt like dancing to try and avoid a balk...but its worse than that because golf likes to pretend its a gentleman's game. Phil pretended that he did this ON PURPOSE to take a 2 shot penalty. He's lying about that, but that is actually worse than just completely losing his cool and keeping his ball from rolling off the green. This is Happy Gilmore level of non sense. He really should have withdrawn from the tourney.

Right, I think you'll see a lot of players on the tour giving Phil flack for this. At the least he needs to apologize.

Nope, they got it exactly right. The rule people wanted them to use to DQ him explicitly states that if any other rule covers the violation, it takes precedence. In this case, hitting a moving ball is the violation, not attempting to stop a ball in motion. The real travesty is the idiot announcing crew having their panties in a wad over the whole thing and saying Mickelson will have to rebuild his reputation or whatever. just over the top nonsense. I don't think "exactly right" is the way to describe it. What the ruling should have been isn't really the lede. Its that Phil is a cheating douchehole who, for inexplicable reasons, decided to lie and state that he planned to cheat and take a penalty as a reason to not apologize for said cheating.

Why he chose the Cardinals was beyond me. Still feel sorry for him though.
-
Quite the punch out...
-
2 minutes now without a run.

Curious what his defensive shifts looked like.

It could also be a Kamehameha. We need someone to dig in and really get to the bottom of this. This reminds me of JD being really upset that the person he thought was doing Syndrome cosplay at a Spring Training game was actually a chubby guy dressed as Goku.

Over/under on if the Cubs win? I say yes That guy can't be a real person, right?
