Wow that was a weird situation: Pirates get a home run, but on replay, the runners foot never touched first base: OUT

About Bauer mostly, but this shit is really ubiquitous at this point.

Yeah, Cole has been dodging a lot of questions and his spin rate is down also.

Curious how much this is going to cause characters to regress... Guess we'll see.

oh cole 100 percent was doing the dirt, but it's so widespread. i'm curious how hard they're going to try and crack down on this when it comes time.

Really wish he wasn't lol. Been one of the lone bright spots of this year so far. I think it's going to fuck a lot of pitchers. Offensive numbers are about to jump.

i mean the rumors are like 80-90 percent of pitchers are doing it. That's an absurd amount even if it's exaggerated. I'm real curious how this is going to shake out.

I am curious on how much the hbp rate goes up.

Hopefully no one gets seriously hurt since these pitchers are gonna lose a bit of their control.

I'm not sure it'll go way up. It's actually already like double the rate it was in the mid 90s.

Yeah changing the ball constantly is some dumb shit. Also, as a general thing I have a hard time summoning any outrage over something basically the entire league does.

I've always said that ubiquitous normalized things are different than outlier events. So no, the trash can thing is still fucking awful and you should feel bad for thinking it's the same thing.

if 26 teams had outfield cameras and bashed trashcans like your guys did you might have a point.

If you think that trash cans are the only way to communicate stolen signs, then you have no imagination and blissfully ignorant.
