It's impressive as hell Capps can do such an awkward move and still rifle it in there.

And by awkward I mean illegal as all hell

This should only be implemented after the 15th inning or something, not right away in the 10th.

15th inning is fine because weird baseball shenanigans aside you're starting to tax pitchers and potentially hurt people and you're getting into 5th outfielders and backup catchers and it's bad baseball (right up until the utility infielder starts warming up)

10th is stuuuuuuupid. "I don't want more fun high leverage situations with good players" said nobody ever

Statcast is going to have "hit probability" and "catch probability" based on historical launch angle/exit velocity data.

Why are y'all responding to the return of McGibblets

beaning players is always bad and the game would be better overall if everyone celebrated their achievements and could be made to look like idiots if they gently caress up after celebrating

I think Yasiel Puig emphatically batflipping dingers is as important to baseball as him accidentally batflipping fly outs to the warning track

"Hi hits it high. He hits it deep. It. Is. Outta here!" works because Kuiper can change the enthusiasm based on the situation and it makes for build up. It's not the same every time.

Jon Miller's "adios pelota" is charming but that's just because he's your baseball loving great uncle.

For some reason I thought his problem showing up after the off season fat every year and slowly losing weight during the season?

Like he'd go home and just eat when he wasn't playing baseball.

No he would show up every year BSOHLing very hard and then as the season wore on he just gained a pound per game played
