Salvor_Hardin posted:You could take that Jon Bois article about "What is a catch?" and apply it to balks without much work. Balk Rules 1) You can't just be up there and just doin' a balk like that. 1a. A balk is when you 1b. Okay well listen. A balk is when you balk the 1c. Let me start over 1c-a. The pitcher is not allowed to do a motion to the, uh, batter, that prohibits the batter from doing, you know, just trying to hit the ball. You can't do that. 1c-b. Once the pitcher is in the stretch, he can't be over here and say to the runner, like, "I'm gonna get ya! I'm gonna tag you out! You better watch your butt!" and then just be like he didn't even do that. 1c-b(1). Like, if you're about to pitch and then don't pitch, you have to still pitch. You cannot not pitch. Does that make any sense? 1c-b(2). You gotta be, throwing motion of the ball, and then, until you just throw it. 1c-b(2)-a. Okay, well, you can have the ball up here, like this, but then there's the balk you gotta think about. 1c-b(2)-b. Fairuza Balk hasn't been in any movies in forever. I hope she wasn't typecast as that racist lady in American History X. 1c-b(2)-b(i). Oh wait, she was in The Waterboy too! That would be even worse. 1c-b(2)-b(ii). "get in mah bellah" -- Adam Water, "The Waterboy." Haha, classic... 1c-b(3). Okay seriously though. A balk is when the pitcher makes a movement that, as determined by, when you do a move involving the baseball and field of 2) Do not do a balk please.

cis autodrag posted:If I want to just see quick highlights of yesterday's games when I get into the office, what's the best place? I looked at the Must C section on MLB but there are only two clips from yesterday. I just want to see a rundown of the notable stuff from the day before since I only have time to watch Brewers games in full. http://m.mlb.com/video/search?mlbtax=vtp_mm_wrapup&tagName=Recap I think they do one that summarizes every game from the previous night as well but I can't find it. They may have stopped doing it because it was good, much like they stopped doing the video that showed every dinger from the night before.

elentar posted:The Braves picked up another lovely bench player today, acquiring Danny Santana from the Twins. In return, they sent over one of their many lovely bullpen arms tucked away in AAA and a little cash. I like this trade. Santana is super bad (don't let his rookie year fool you, he had a .405 BABIP) and Chapman is a lefty who strikes people out sometimes.

Inspector_666 posted:NJ.com has some decent writers on their site, so why not read this wonderful listicle about potential trade targets for Matt Harvey. That's not even close to what it says quote:The signature piece in the deal would be a guy the Angels continually say they won't deal, so the Mets may have to give up a little more than just Harvey... Actually, a lot more. It would have to be a huge package that would include some top prospects. First base prospect Dominic Smith, who grew up nearby in Los Angeles, would give the Halos an exciting face to replace the aging Albert Pujols at first base. The Mets need a third baseman and Cowart isn't quite panning out the way the Angels had hoped and a change of scenery could be beneficial.

Errors are a dumb stat in general because they're 100% subjective. Also you get punished for having better range and trying more difficult plays.

This is why I always laugh at people who hate WAR because it's "too complicated" but still think batting average is a good stat. Not that batting average is a bad stat, but it's complicated as poo poo because of all the things that can change whether or not something is a hit or at bat.

They were banned in the same way steroids were banned in the 90s/early 2000s. There was technically a rule against it but no testing for it at the major league level and nobody actually gave a poo poo.

El Gallinero Gros posted:Especially since Edmonds was a better hitter than Jones, by a fair bit. Although Jones seems like the better fielder, which is saying something. Edmonds was probably closer to an average fielder than anything, he just made a lot of highlight reel plays because he positioned himself like an idiot. But still, even an average fielding CF with a bat like that not being in the hall is sad.
