Russell Eassom

(He/Him) Big man on a big adventure in the big smoke.
Writer for @batflips_nerds describe as once-aspiring saberist by @tangotiger (in a good way).

[Russell Eassom @REassom]

The rest of the MLB world maybe going crazy of the Astros and their "buzzers" but this has made my day. Set a pretty high moment to try and surpass for the year though.

Right now I cannot think of a higher complement than this, thank you Tom for your kind words.

[Tangotiger 🍁 @tangotiger]

Terrific stuff from a once-aspiring saberist.

The one interesting thing about "positioning" is that we're using data after the fact. You could make the case that Baez was not positioned optimally. You can ALSO make the case that he was positioned optimally, and...

Pregame Conference Question

What is it like to have an away game atmosphere even when you're at home.

Harper - I'll let Bobby answer that as he has experience in Kansas with this.

Savage 😂😂😂

Hit -> 🤌 -> repeat

[Russell Eassom @REassom]

@WBSC @LA28 @FEDOMRD What if Puerto Rico and Venezuela both win their quarter finals.

There would be 3 Americas teams still in the tournament?

[Bat Flips and Nerds @batflips_nerds]

We think these are the scenarios for tomorrow.

A low scoring Mexico win sends USA home.

USA need Mexico to win but concede 8+ runs to win the group.

Assuming it doesn't go beyond 9 innings, it gets more complicated if we go to extras.

[Bat Flips and Nerds @batflips_nerds]

Realistically, there were 3 scenarios for @GB_Baseball

Go one better than last time - 2 wins
Secure automatic qualification - 1 win
Take a step back - 0 wins

GB led USA, out-hit Mexico, and led Italy, before picking up the invaluable win against Brazil.

Simply stunning, guys
