    You heard wrong. Officially there is no such thing. The MLB rule book makes no mention of check swing. None. A swinging strike is "an attempt to hit the ball"
  2. USAFChief
    Clearly defined? "Check swing" isn't defined at all in the MLB rule book.

    Actually I would have thought losing the lead bottom 9 would lower your win probability by MORE than 25%. Turns out Jax is actually doing well there.
  4. USAFChief
    And I wouldn’t. Fair enough. It IS one of those sort of unwritten managerial "rules" though. You just rarely see it. Still and all, the bigger problem was needlessly not having Duran available today. And there's no doubt who is responsible for that.
  5. USAFChief
    And the reason it was Jax?
  6. USAFChief
    I also dont intentionally walk the tying run into scoring position, and the winning run to 1st, either. I don't care who is at the plate. Ohtani, or Babe Ruth..

    Anyone wanna revisit Rocco having Duran pitch a second inning last night??
  8. USAFChief
    Wow. IBB the tying run into scoring position and winning run on base. Don't see that very often Edit: and thats why
  9. USAFChief
    Solid 10" vertical there!
  10. USAFChief
    Indeed. The Twins seemingly just fail to develop one prospect after another.
  11. USAFChief
    Hush. No need to bring that name into this.
  12. USAFChief
    Four stolen bases in 1 game is the most since Sep '23?? Wow
  13. USAFChief
    Not Yates

    Provus: "and the Twins finally--FINALLY--steal 3rd this season. Game 102." A little editorializing there, Cory?
  15. USAFChief
    Varland's 49th appearance to date. 3rd game in a row. Rocco tryna kill him
  16. USAFChief
    So the mistake Paddack made wasn't Paddack's fault. Heh

    *to date

    Have I mentioned I'm mildly distressed by hard contact on 0-2 counts?
  19. USAFChief
    Id be curious to learn which of these two statements are more unlikely
  20. USAFChief
    Oh FFS.
  21. USAFChief
    I think it was Larnach. Made worse in that there were 2 out. For the record, I'm not a fan of Watkins but in this particular case replay showed some poor baserunning. Weak secondary lead and jogging to third.
  22. USAFChief
    The Dodgers' "anybody can play anywhere" defense model served them as well as it does Rocco and the Twins. "Mookie, get out there and try short, whydontcha?"
  23. USAFChief
    Not necessarily true. Most often not, in fact. For example, If there's an error that prolongs an inning, followed by a 3 run jimmie-jack, the runs are unearned but the hitter still gets credit for 3 RBI.
