Moncada's kid's bat flip game is starting out strong.

I went to a little league game two years ago and it had hilarious poo poo like this. A kid that slid into every base. Fifteen kids in the infield. A kid in the outfield eating grass. A kid that never threw the ball and just tried to outrun the runner to first. A kid that hit the base of the tee every single time.

Remember Randy Levine was the genius that tried to set the value for Mike Trout's free agency and had to be reprimanded by MLB.

Rob Manfred sucks and seeing pitchers throw wild pitches and being completely out of sync after throwing them is awesome. poo poo some of the Tigers best bullpen meltdowns came from Leyland forcing guys to come in out of the pen and intentionally walking a guy and then not being able to find the strike zone again.

The ideal swing mindset is just to step up to the plate and imitate Gary Sheffield as closely as possible.

This is my strategy for beer league softball so I don't know how well it works in MLB but I figure there has to be some carryover.

I straight up do this and it's great.

Technically Huston Street's delivery is also illegal under the new rules because his pivot foot leaves the rubber as he goes from one side of the the plate to another.

The pitch right before Bird's mammoth dinger was a hanging slider that Sanchez nearly came out of his shoes swinging at.

Can you explain this part to me? I've boxed and this is counter-intuitive to me because a punch is way more powerful if you "sit down" on it to drive with your back leg and get a lot of rotation going. Is it that his ready stance is too on the back leg so it's hard for him to poo poo onto it and begin the drive during his swing?

You want to have all your momentum pushing forward, like a golf swing. If it's on the back foot you just sapped all your power and your hips are doing nothing.

These are pretty good, but the U.S.'s logo looks too sci-fi and is also orange for some reason.

Ireael's would sell so many copies.

The USA cap looks straight up fascist and I'd expect it to be in a Paul Verhoeven movie.

Hawk Harrelson's homerun call is actually good because it's so bad. It's like the movie Demolition Man.

Also, I miss Dan Patrick's "the whiff" during Sportscenter highlights. Holy gently caress ESPN still has a catchphrases website up that has it in Real Player Audio format lol.
