Steven Kwan My GOAT

Did Hunter Renfroe write this?

Hunter Renfroe took a terrible route to that ball
Davy Andrews
6:39
Everything about that was ugly.

Makes sense; Hunter Renfroe took a terrible route to being the starter in 2025
Brian

I agree, it is horrible. Who likes it and why?
Davy Andrews
6:40
I think anybody inside the game, because it means the games don't go til four in the morning and destroy bullpens.

I also hate the Zombie Runner, but I do enjoy seeing Steven Kwan get an easy GWRBI, despite the travesty of the rule and scenario that allow him to achieve it.

mlb is blinded by the light of the manfred man

renfroe at like -2 OAA today already
Davy Andrews

I do like the zombie runner in MLB the Show if I'm trying to get some achievement at a very high difficulty level so I can run into a 1-0 win at some poitn

i think that more rules should be made because they're funny, not because they improve the game

Cags might even be a defensive improvement for the royals outfield.

Baserunners have to eat a hot dog to be eligible to advance to the next base at some point
6:42
Only for dead plays though; a runner going for a double doesn't need to consume the hot dog
Brian
6:42
but Renfroe is one of only 2 players to hit a ball onto the metal supply roof in SD
millville meltdown
6:42
no make them get the hot dog from the 1b coach and finish it before they arrive at 2b
Dan
6:42
one player must eat 9 hot dogs and drink 9 beers within the 9 innings or else you are ineligible to win
Yeah Well Hiura Towel

My leaguemate gets to have the team name of Defiant Jazz. I am flamingly envious
millville meltdown
6:43
remember that crazy behind-the-head catch renfroe made as an angel? result of a bad read and route, no? has he ever been a good defender?
Tim L
6:43
Giants struck out 17 times and somehow won that game
millville meltdown
6:43
by taking the hot dog you signal intent to advance to 2nd. clearer than the whole turning thing
Brian
6:44
Tim PHI is on 18 and tied at 3
Matt Martell
6:45
So, I am indifferent about the zombie runner rule, and at first I was in the minority and actually in favor of it because of the instant action. I don't like it as much now that we have the pitch clock to move things along. As long as it's regular season only, I'm OK with it, but I don't like it anymore

i assume noted vegan spencer strider, hearing this, is punching the air
Davy Andrews
6:46
I'm pretty sure most stadiums have vegan dogs at this point. They're usually pretty good.
Brian

The thirdbase coach is required to throw up a handful of sunflower seeds for each player as they round third after a HR. If they fail to catch one in their mouth they must remain on 3 and only get a triple.
Evan

What if I told you I have Zack Wheeler and Mackenzie Gore on the same fantasy team? I hate wins...
Dan
