Dave Roberts says he doesn’t care when his players or staff show up to the facility as long as they get their work done and are ready to play because showing up early doesn’t mean you’re actually preparing

“The last one to show up in the clubhouse? Teoscar. But the dude shows up every day ready to play. Sometimes it’s the eyewash that people will show at noon because they’re there and they’re on their phones.”

“They’re not getting any better. They’re not working. If you’re just going to sit on your phone in front of your locker, stay your ass at home. Teo gets that. He’s like, ‘When I show up, I’m ready to work.’”

“That speaks to the anxiety where sometimes people want it so bad, they try so hard—and that’s an impediment.”

“Teo’s found that sweet spot. He knows what it takes him mentally to get ready.”

It's a straightforward rule. The runner scored on a tag-up while the inning was active. So the run counts unless appealed by the defense, same as any other tag-up appeal play. The defense lost their right to appeal by leaving the field, so the run stands. The 3rd out of the inning isn't really all the relevant, except that it nudged the defense into leaving the field. It was a boneheaded play by the defense not to appeal, as much as it was a boneheaded play by the offense to forget the number of outs. Big ups to the umps for noticing and to New York for getting it right.

🚨CYCLE SCORING ALERT🚨

Tons of folks sent this one in from the @Phillies and @Mets game, with Bryce Harper completing the cycle with this fifth inning triple.

I believe this was scored correctly as a triple.

This falls under Rule 9.06; Determining the Value of Base Hits.

The key is Harper never slowed down at all and was going for third the whole time. One of the things the scorer has to determine is whether or not Harper went to third on the throw or not.

He obviously was going for third regardless, and the fact that he would have been out is inconsequential here.

The OS Manual states this:

“Had the bases been empty, would the batter-runner have attempted to advance the extra base? If not, the value of the base hit should not include the additional base.”

The answer on this one is yes, Harper would have ATTEMPTED to advance. Doesn’t say if he would have been safe. Since he would have attempted this regardless of the throw home, he was, IMHO, correctly credited with a triple.

Jesus Luzardo’s first inning:

1 IP, 5 H, 4 ER, 23 pitches

Jesus Luzardo innings 2-8:

7 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 9 K - 74 pitches

22 straight retired

One of the most unbelievable performances of all time

Honestly, a quote that can be pretty applicable to just about anything in life.

Umpire firing a ball back before Tatis even starts his full trot is so fucking big league I can’t even begin to explain how much I love it

Find yourself a person who is as loyal as Matt Strahm is to his boys. Already showered? Doesn’t matter, ready to throw hands.

Hitters: You know what separates average hitters from great hitters?

Anyone can feel good and go 3 for 4 with a HR

Or, how your batting practice looks..

The separator is.. When you're 0 for 3 with 2 K's and you WANT the next at bat

KNOW that you can HELP YOUR TEAM, not hide
