that might be the weirdest homer I've ever seen.

Ben Clemens

2:27

What the heck

I mean, it might have been foul

2:28

Too bad they didn't spring for another 15 feet worth of pole

Brian CashGod

2:28

oh this game has everything

Ben Clemens

2:28

The umpire with the mirror shades is sweet

Chad Muszynski

2:29

NOW baseball is back baby. Extended replay review.

David

2:29

see that's where the KBO - MLB difference lies: Top 7 in Hanwha - SK game. Hanwha up 1-0. 1st and 2nd, 0 outs. They bunt to move runners to 2nd and 3rd. In MLB, they are 100% swinging away (especially since KBO has DH like AL)

Ben Clemens

2:30

Yeah. It's not as extreme as NPB, where it's bunt city, but KBO is definitely more 80s or early 90s in terms of bunts than MLB

Brian CashGod

2:30

it starts with controversial replay reviews, and the next thing you know the Doosan Bears are beating a trash can in the dugout to signal pitches to their batters

Ben Clemens

2:30

Eu-Ji Yang, Mike Piazza 2.0, strikes again

He's got a nice swing huh?

Gallo Dongs

Oh baby

David

2:31

A huge base hit to put Hanwha up 3-0

2:31

eagles have a nice 3-0 cushion now for saupold

stever20

2:31

Baek starting to struggle.

Ben Clemens

2:31

Yeah Baek has had a weird outing tonight

2:32

He was rocky, then he looked great, and now he's falling apart again

Fair or foul, that home run ball was smashed

stever20

2:32

was lucky 1st inning it wasn't 2-0 after 2 batters

Ben Clemens

2:32

Yeah it easily could have been

LG Twins fan

2:32

With Hanwha, 3-0 is usually far from a nice cushion once the bullpen is in!

Ben Clemens

2:33

Oh man, Hanwha, the Nationals of the KBO

That's the kind of fatalism that lets me know baseball is really back

Baek's delivery is so smooth

2:34

I'm used to the deceleration snap you see in a lot of ML pitchers

he's just fluid in and out

Their comparison for Baek was Brett Anderson

Very frustrating for me -- Anderson has now hit the IL twice in a month in my OOTP simulation

2:35

But I can kinda see it -- he's definitely a pitch to contact type, though it doesn't seem like he gets as many grounders

David

2:35

Swole daddy. lol

Ben Clemens

2:35

He is jacked

Swole indeed

2:36

dinos again!

Ben Clemens

2:37

The hard contact just continues against Baek

Does a better route get that one? Maybe

But he was right into the wall

Guest

2:37

that wall didn't look soft.
