Bizarre play all around. Davis doesn't run, Anderson lobs it over, Bell casually comes off the bag. High stakes for that sort of thing.

What the heck is happening on the basepaths today
Davy Andrews

That makes three Pirates thrown out trying to score in three extra innings.
Hire Joe Morgan?

Why do you hate my favorite team?  And why is my favorite team's division going to be won by only X games?

  1. It's because we don't like you personally. We know what you did, and we are not over it.
  2. Because numbers.

I wish I had an acoustic album! I play piano and can't song. I just make weird AI songs

Dan made a point about a Little League play earlier- the teams read it and are leaning into the bit

Pirates think the Manfred Man is a bad idea and are determined to prove it

Treated myself to a fancyish dinner with the wife out of town but of course the bar is too fancy for tvs. Didn’t think ahead

how often does Arraez go 0-6?
Davy Andrews
7:32
Per Stathead, Arraez had three career 0-6 games and two career 0-7 games entering today.

I'm always annoyed that "less than two outs" is the standard part of the vernacular
7:32
Third base score with less than two outs form last year is a real mash of team types and qualities
Baltimore Orioles 56.9%   Chicago Cubs 56.8%   Kansas City Royals 56.0%   Tampa Bay Rays 52.8%   Houston Astros 52.5%   Arizona Diamondbacks 52.4%   Pittsburgh Pirates 51.8%   Washington Nationals 51.7%   Colorado Rockies 51.7%   Texas Rangers 51.4%   Boston Red Sox 51.3%   Miami Marlins 51.0%   Philadelphia Phillies 50.8%   Cincinnati Reds 50.7%   Cleveland Guardians 50.6%   Atlanta Braves 50.3%   League Average 50.1%   Milwaukee Brewers 50.0%   San Francisco Giants 49.3%   San Diego Padres 49.2%   Chicago White Sox 48.9%   Los Angeles Angels 48.7%   New York Yankees 48.6%   St. Louis Cardinals 48.0%   Los Angeles Dodgers 47.4%   Toronto Blue Jays 47.3%   Minnesota Twins 46.1%   New York Mets 45.9%   Detroit Tigers 45.6%   Oakland Athletics 45.5%   Seattle Mariners 41.7%

I wonder what the odds are that a team fails to score the Manfred runner for an entire season. Sounds like an interesting article, at least once we have a larger sample size.

This game deserves to end with an out at the plate

Wanted to run a thought by you all re: free agents. What if instead of a "deadline," teams are offered comp picks for early signings. Sign a player to a major league deal before 11/31? Get a 6th rounder. Sign two? Get a 5th rounder. Etc. Thoughts?

We did it, friends. We did it.

I'm not sure it's much of an incentive

Greetings all. Cubs and defending World Series champs on deck.
AvatarDan Szymborski

THe value of a fifth/sixth round pick is just so small on average compared to the possible cost of signing players quickly

We've seen NBA and NFL guys play pro baseball mid-career ... when do we get an NHL guy over to baseball?
