“Congrats on doing your job, Kluber.” (But really, good for him)

won’t even remember whatshisname from Detroit yesterday.

i hope every pitcher gets to throw at least one no hitter this year

Analytics on hitters are like never before. Even in fantasy baseball there are dozens of stats so just imagine how much MLB teams gather.

Add in 90% of the hitters swinging for the fences and it becomes a pitcher's dream, as long as the pitcher can properly execute his pitches.

Pretty crazy that across 150 years, only 20,000 humans have officially played in an MLB game.

as a running thing with the changes we see to the game....Freddy Peralta need 103 pitches to go 4.2 IP yesterday.

Guy didn't get the win(his team scored a ton) by 1 out because he needed 103 goddamn pitches to get 14 outs.

Jesus

Speaks to executing his pitches. Only 54% of those 103 pitches were strikes.

Yep.

I know it seems like velo is everything these days but it's a game of location and command.

what the actual fuck?

He's probably the first son of a 5 time all star to be named Vlad Jr in human history.

We aren't sure as to the exact start of human history but it was a long time ago.

Looking at the list of 5 or more time All Star players (and No, I didn’t actually check em all), looks like probably only a handful had kids who ever hit a HR in ML.

BTW, this list of players who played in 5 or more All Star games is a lot longer than I expected!

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

In case you were wondering....Vlad the elder played in 9 All Star games according to Zippercat's link. So, extra wtf?

Oh my god, Javy. This is fantastic (and incredibly stupid that it worked). (sorry, Jake)

Step on the bag, you doofus. Ffs Pirates.

First time I've seen a rundown between home and first base. Might be the dumbest thing s player can do on a baseball field, try to chase a guy with no need.

You beat me to it. Baez would also come around to score on a basehit, so a play Little Leaguers make cost them 2 runs.

Only the Pirates.
