i reffed little league baseball when i was 14. had to call a kid out because he missed 3rd base on an ITP homerun. his parents followed me to the parking lot yelling at me while i waited for my mom to pick me up.

hey jimmy, i’m sure you are a great person with great intentions, but i guarantee that this is not only the dumbest thing i’ve read all week, but will be the dumbest thing i read for the next month

i think they are overhated at this point but i will admit that Jim and Jake sometimes appear unprepared for the show. i listen occasionally, but more for entertainment/Trevor’s commentary.

it was and still to this day is nightmare fuel. i wasn’t even going to call the kid out but me and the other team’s coach watch him miss it, and we immediately stare at each other. i was looking to see if he saw and he was doing the same. mom was very confused to say the least.
@SportsTalkATL
It’s not just that Olson is a downgrade from Freddie. But we also had to trade valuable prospects to get him.
We could have had Freddie plus whatever we could have gotten for Shea/Pache.
That’s what I hate about it. Imagine if we flipped those two for another elite starter.

there have been 70 steals by catchers through 16,139 PA in 2023.
there were 95 steals by catchers in 21,830 PA in 2022.
if you extrapolate 2023 stats across 2022 PA’s, you get……….
94.68 steals.

i am just a dumb business major, but having your goalie far away from the goal while the opposition is somehow between him and the goal seems like a bad decision.

his worst month would rank 9th among qualified hitters (himself included) in OPS, directly between juan soto (.929) and bryce harper (.905)

his arm is comparable to a 3 day old limp noodle. i remember in early 2021 someone tagged from 3rd and scored on a ball that went 150 feet.

rookie center fielder Michael Harris II finished the month of August slashing .337/.400/.590 with 12 doubles, 4 homers, 15 RBI, 22 runs scored and 5 stolen bases to along with a team-leading 1.6 fWAR in 27 games.
it’s becoming overwhelmingly obvious that MLB has yet again given the players a new baseball. offense is down across the league even with a large contingent of the best pitchers on the planet on the IL.
In the full month since this tweet:
Mookie Betts: .302/.432/.521, 5 HR, 16 RBI, 20 R, 3 SB, 1.4 fWAR
Ronald Acuña Jr.: .342/.398/.708, 12 HR, 27 RBI, 30 R, 10 SB, 1.7 fWAR

i loved tball because (where i umped) the parents wanted to have fun, the kids just wanted to have fun. once you get into the kid pitch 10-12 range and kids (and the parents) get competitive, that’s when it becomes just a tense environment for 1.5 hours
