Baseball Miscellany

Of course Buck is gonna be Buck:

Showalter shook his head repeatedly and paced in the visiting dugout during the delay. He walked onto the field for an explanation from umpires after Bucknor’s announcement, but said later he was not upset that Phillips was given full time to loosen up.

"I was wondering if the guy they brought in to pitch was eligible to play or they burned him,” Showalter said.

I did not either.

The rule makes sense considering MLB’s deplorable partnership with the various sports books.

More sense with the limitations on pitchers on the roster.

Okay, but I don’t follow how that relates to an arbitrary run differential.

Not arbitrary - if you don’t limit the runs then you can have “pitchers” who are two way players or a pitcher that you just throw in left field once in a while

Got it. But why 5 runs, instead of 6 or 4?

Why three outs instead of four or six? How is a rainbow made? How does positraction on a Plymouth work? No one knows.

This is not balls-on accurate.

I know. Like why are there only three quarters in a hockey game? I blame Canada.

I’ve always called them periods.

They’re not even a real country anyway

It’s like when I was a kid and would tell my mom that I was finally ready to do something about cleaning my room. Nothing ever really happened as result of those conversations, but everyone felt better. I mean, I know I felt better.

There certainly were several of those conversations…
