Cody Bellinger has no bend in his knees for his swing, how does he generate any type of power

Braves beat writer Mark Bowman has been tweeting out some cheery stats, including that the Braves have the worst ERA in the majors and the worst ERA at this point of the season since 1990. Also, this gem on lineup construction: Brandon Phillips is having a solid season but he has tanked in the 2-spot, vs. being very good around the 6-spot. I don't think Snitker would ever bat Freddie 2nd, so barring Markakis moving up there, it's likely to just remain an abyss most of the year.

Still sucks though. e: and considering the Mets medical staff takes a mountain of poo poo (mostly deserved) for rushing players back they're right to go slow with the club's ace.

It was 96mph high, possibly out of the zone. Hardly a meatball. On another note, I'm very pumped to be going to Sale vs Santana tomorrow. Ice Phoenix, any chance you're going?

Dear friends, Please vote for the Brewers man or something for NL catcher. Vote Seager for short because hell even I did. Vote for Thames just because people's desperation to build narratives as early as April is funny (see also: Trevor Story, April 2016). Just don't vote for any Giants, because they simply don't deserve it. I'm sure this won't be a problem for many of you.

A couple times in this series I've noticed that the pirates pitchers are wearing hoodies or jackets whole running the bases. I would have assumed it was illegal to wear anything more than your uniform. Is that allowed?

Because pitchers are fragile and will shatter if they get chilly.

They're the only players who are allowed to do so.

Are dugouts typically heated in any way or is the pitchers wearing jackets thing just a weirdo thing that's like, "well I can so I guess I will??" like footballers wearing that elastic stretchy tape that was trendy in the Prem like 5 years ago

Well, I don't know the science, maybe this is bullshit and does nothing but the idea is to keep their arm as warm as possible since getting warm and cooling off supposedly isn't good for you. Sometimes you'll see a pitcher not bother to put the jacket on all the way, just on their throwing arm.

With that said, it's not like they keep it 68°.

Well, I don't know the science, maybe this is bullshit and does nothing but the idea is to keep their arm as warm as possible since getting warm and cooling off supposedly isn't good for you. That's just it, "keeping warm" is just an idiom describing the sensation of heat one perceives when there is increased blood flow in an area. Keeping your arm physically hot is not doing anything to actually keep the joint lubricated and blood flowing. They'd be better served doing some dynamic stretching with a 2lb dumbbell. But baseball players are super routine-oriented so even if every sports trainer in the world knows this good luck convincing a pitcher to change his ways.

It's not going to necessarily help with injury prevention but keeping the temperature of the muscles raised via layers does help with ease of muscle contraction and fine motor function.
