Baseball Miscellany

Tristan McKenzie has faced the minimum through 7 innings. 11 strikeouts.

no errors for Cleveland.

The first 23 were retired, then a guy got a hit.

Did anyone watch the Paul Oā€™Neil kicked ball clip that MLB.com has posted today?

One of the reasonā€™s I love baseball is that you can watch a thousand games. But still see something new and unexpected at any time.

Iā€™ll never know why I click the links on those sorts of things. Always horrible.

Iā€™m surprised that MLB has not made the wearing of a mask (of some sort) mandatory for all pitchers.

It is tough. Pitchers have resisted the options that exist so far, and I get why. Designing something lightweight, stable, unobtrusive, and protective is a tall order. I think the solution probably looks something like this more than the options MLB pitchers have used so far (though maybe that design is impractical in baseball given how much more the pitcherā€™s head moves than in softball, idk). I just hope it doesnā€™t take more tragedy to make it happen.

Ladies and gentlemen: the next media partner of MLB, Barstool Sports. Media Matters has alllll the receipts.

Absolutely disgusting.

Not it at all

I know, I was making a mask joke. Poorly, it seems.

Nah, I just could not tell.

So Trevor Bauer basically exhonerated. Judge rules ā€œit was her own faultā€.

I expect heā€™ll be pitching this weekend.

That is a disgrace. He shouldnā€™t be anywhere near a major league mound again.

I donā€™t know about that.

The judge ruled that Bauer did nothing wrong, did not cross the boundaries she set, and is not a threat. His suspension ends tomorrow. MLB may extend it. They may not.

Thereā€™d be quite a backlash if they didnā€™t. So of course they wonā€™t. Theyā€™ll probably recommend he get a bonus.

Isnā€™t always her own fault?? .

And really, that is why women donā€™t come forward.
