Game Thread: Cleveland v Twins, 4/18 @ 6:10 pm CT

[Mill1634]

Ugh. Looking too. 

[ashbury]

1.000 BABIP still on the line.

Preserved!

[Aggies7]

FFS

[Cap'n Piranha]

You have to protect the plate there.  Just awful.

[yarnivek1972]

1.000 BABIP intact.

[USAFChief]

RBI are such a meaningless stat.

[gocgo]

The one thing you can't do...take strike 3.

[LaBombo]

 

 

Balk off.

 

The highlight term for the at bat... not you.

[ashbury]

Here's a question--does a sacrifice affect BABIP?  It has to, right?

Counter-intuitively, it does not.

 

/ edit - sac bunt, I mean. A sac fly would ruin it. I guess the logic is that you intend to bunt, but a sac fly is more or less just a regular attempt for glory.

[Squirrel]

****. I can’t take this!

[Mill1634]

Where is Rogers on the CF depth chart? 6th? Before or after Sano?

[USAFChief]

 

Counter-intuitively, it does not.

Actually, I can see the argument for a sac not counting.

 

But tell me why a HR isn't a ball in play.

[Aggies7]

Steal home

[USAFChief]

si.

[jud6312]

[Squirrel]

Damn it

[USAFChief]

LaMarre can build a raft too.

[Aggies7]

Wretched situational hitting all night.

[jud6312]

 

As in off of the field to get their gloves so they can come back out and play more baseball.

[BoofBonser]

Classic Minnesota Twins 

[jud6312]

 

LaMarre can build a raft too.

His in-laws are from Edina, they'll just hire a local to build it for him.

[Aggies7]

So who do we like in the current lineup right now? Joe?

[Mill1634]

MMQB, but would have liked to see Adrianza or Garver hit for LaMarre

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

0-0. Good. I didn't miss a thing.

the average Twitter troll could have managed this game better,* all the way back to the creation of the starting lineup

 

 

* and quite a few of the below-average Twitter trolls

[USAFChief]

while eating cake?

[Blake]

Can't even put a ball in play with 1 out. Uggh.

[Aggies7]

Hey look it’s the Lindor homer again, ICYMI

[Mill1634]

Rogers over Hildy? Interesting. Then again our manager is Molly, so not all that interesting. 

[Cap'n Piranha]

 

Actually, I can see the argument for a sac not counting.

 

But tell me why a HR isn't a ball in play.

 

It makes no sense to me, a play is clearly made on a sacrifice--the defense has to do something, so a sacrifice should affect BABIP.

 

A homer, unless its of the inside-the-park persuasion, should not count for BABIP, as there is no play to be made.

[jud6312]

 

You have to protect the plate there.  Just awful.

 

These umpires need to recognize that 1.000 BABIP and realize that THE Ryan LaMarre only swings at strikes.
