My Dad taught me and my brother how to do it when we were very young. I still have some Clippers programs where I scored the entire game as a kid

Joe Kelly got a 8 game suspension for last nights pitches.
Astros players got 0 for actual cheating.
I get that trying to physically harm with pitches is bad but still.....lol. Astros players not only faced zero actual consequences they also get immunity from any opponent player invoking actions on them. Good job Manfred

He threw those so far over their heads I don't think he was trying to hit them, just scare the shit out of them. He definitely got their attention. An 8 game suspension, especially in a 60 game season, is asinine.
I guess the commish is trying to stop a beanball epidemic before it starts but it's partly his fault for the Astros getting off easy. The Dodgers have every right to be pissed (even though I was rooting for Houston at the time).

Doubleheader’s now 7 innings. Maybe we can just go one time through the lineup and start putting a guy on third

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Unfortunately for MLB this season.....
Apparently not, Manfred was just bluffing (again)....
For the first time since Pandemic Baseball began, it appeared Rob Manfred was finally taking seriously the perilous state of his sport.
Hours after Friday’s Cardinals-Brewers game was postponed because two St. Louis players had tested positive for COVID-19, Manfred reportedly told Tony Clark, the head of the players association, that he would shut down the season if there was another surge of cases or if the players continued not to follow the league’s safety protocols.
The coronavirus called his bluff.
By Saturday morning, when it was reported that an additional Cardinals player and three St. Louis staffers tested positive for the coronavirus, it was clear there was a second outbreak in MLB. This one, unlike the fallout in Philadelphia, is completely separate from the Marlins crisis.
Certainly, this would halt the season, right? To quote another incompetent leader with no grasp of how to handle the pandemic: “Wrong.”
Less than a day later, Manfred rescinded his threat in an interview with ESPN’s Karl Ravech.

Hell, if they keep catching it and shutting down whole teams then he won't have to shut it down. COVID will do it for him.

If so, stupidity will be the main culprit - dudes who can't be bothered with protocols and pretending the virus doesn't exist.
MLB investigation says Marlins players went out, visited bars before coronavirus outbreak

How has this not been on this forum, yet? Did I miss the thread on this?
For those of you who haven't followed this, the way I understand it, the Padres were winning 10-3 in the top of the 8th inning. Bases loaded by at least 2 walks, and then this Tatis dude steps up to the plate. He takes 3 balls for a 3-0 count. Next pitch - opposite field home run. Baseball's "unwritten rules" are broken because he's supposed to take that pitch. From what I've read, most fans are agreeing that the rule is dumb.
Tatis apologized and his manager supported him. The Rangers manager was upset about it. They took the pitcher out after that and the first batter the next pitcher faced got a pitch thrown behind him.
My take is that this is part of what makes baseball very difficult to watch. "If you're up by 7 in the 8th inning, with a 3-0 pitch, don't try to hit the next pitch." He shouldn't have to feel he needs to apologize for hitting the ball. This reminds me of when Mike Leach was on a football radio show. He was awesome. He said he wanted his offensive players trying to score a touchdown on every single play. Their job is to score points. If there's 5 minutes to go in the game and you're up by 28, and the quarterback hands you the ball, you do what you can to score a touchdown.
There's a small (very small) chance that if Tatis takes that pitch, and then hits into a double-play and no more runs are scored that inning, the Rangers may have come back from 7 runs down. It's a small chance but it's happened. I'm betting that there's a much, much smaller chance that the Rangers' can come back from 14-3. Who was it? Herm Edwards? "You play to win the game." If you're up to bat with runners on base, your job is to score those runners. If you're on base, your job is to score. I don't care what the score is.
