@aaronsnearly @chifanpatt2 @670TheScore I don't know if I'd count blowing a 4-run lead and then barely eeking out a win in extras to be an igniter, but who knows, maybe.

@CHGO_Cubs Technically, they've lost seven of their last eight games.

[Ryan Christopher @DigitalNuggetz]

@ryan_a_herrera Imagine that. A guy with a .402 OPS and a .120 average against lefties hits a bases clearing double.

What a shitshow this team is.

[Ryan Christopher @DigitalNuggetz]

@_travelr @MLBastian No, that's not how the rules work for DH.

[Ryan Christopher @DigitalNuggetz]

@ValarM961 @MLB @BwittJr More away teams have won than home teams. So it doesn't really matter what your opinion is at this point, the alleged "advantage" has been rendered a moot point.

@Marce11Ozuna @R6qFd26 @Oliver_Phi @MLB @Mastercard And the same goes for xwOBA. Dansby 1st. Lindor 2nd.

[Ryan Christopher @DigitalNuggetz]

@Marce11Ozuna @R6qFd26 @Oliver_Phi @MLB @Mastercard Perhaps also wOBA, which yes, he is 2nd in wOBA. You know who's first? Dansby.

[Ryan Christopher @DigitalNuggetz]

@Marce11Ozuna @R6qFd26 @Oliver_Phi @MLB @Mastercard He's definitely not 2nd in OBA, which mean "On Base Average", which is the same as On Base Percentage. Considering he's at .305 right now, no way he's second. assuming he meant xwOBA, which means Expected Weighted On Base Average.

@R6qFd26 @Marce11Ozuna @Oliver_Phi @MLB @Mastercard He made finalist voting because NYC is a massive market and he has strong name recognition among baseball fans.

[Ryan Christopher @DigitalNuggetz]

@R6qFd26 @Marce11Ozuna @Oliver_Phi @MLB @Mastercard Being a finalist has no bearing on whether they'll be selected as a reserve. The starter finalist voting is a popularity contest voted on by fans.

[Ryan Christopher @DigitalNuggetz]

@R6qFd26 @Marce11Ozuna @Oliver_Phi @MLB @Mastercard I would absolutely stick with my team, but I wouldn't unequivocally defend them like they're the best team with the best players on Earth like you're doing either.

@lucas5176098183 @SamTurner1836 @BleacherNation "Hey, it's a tie game and there's a man on third. The opposing team's best hitter is coming up. He's hitting .350 with 40 HRs. The guy after him is hitting .120 with 0 HRs for his career, but I'm going to pitch to the best hitter because the other guy could possibly hit a HR."

[Ryan Christopher @DigitalNuggetz]

@lucas5176098183 @SamTurner1836 @BleacherNation These are people who live and die baseball. That's clearly not the case with you.

It's called strategy. If managers needed to consider remote occurrences, then intentional walks wouldn't exist at all.

[Ryan Christopher @DigitalNuggetz]

@tweetstuff555 @CallahanAuto210 @BleacherNation Pray to what? If God existed, he would've let a shit stain like you get blown up long ago.

[Ryan Christopher @DigitalNuggetz]

@R6qFd26 @Marce11Ozuna @Oliver_Phi @MLB @Mastercard The only dumb thing here is supporting a team with an MLB-leading payroll and still manages to be in 4th place and 9 games under .500.

[Ryan Christopher @DigitalNuggetz]

@lucas5176098183 @SamTurner1836 @BleacherNation It loses its respectfulness when you defend dumb decisions by the manager.

Read the thread. EVERY other fan is saying the exact same thing.

[Ryan Christopher @DigitalNuggetz]

@tweetstuff555 @CallahanAuto210 @BleacherNation Only thing I'm mad about is that you survived long enough to be considered a "veteran".

[Ryan Christopher @DigitalNuggetz]

@lucas5176098183 @SamTurner1836 @BleacherNation Like I said, yes, he can get the out. That still puts a two runners in scoring position with 1 out situation. You need to maximize your opportuny to get outs. That is done by loading the bases.

I hate debating idiots who don't understand baseball.

[Ryan Christopher @DigitalNuggetz]

@tweetstuff555 @CallahanAuto210 @BleacherNation So are your mom's.
