Not gonna lie, kinda curious how the umpire missed the 6th pitch so badly, but REALLY wondering why Murphy didn’t challenge it. Like, if you lose the challenge, that sucks. But the entire ball was in the strike zone. It wasn’t a borderline strike. That’s very concerning. #Braves
This is exactly the type of play that shows why you can't just look at OF assists (and why any good metric will include the value of holds).
Runners on 2B/3B, fly to RF, and the runner on 3B says .. nah, I'm good, thanks. Correctly so.
@incarceratedbob Gee whiz, I wonder what could have made such a large impact on batting averages beginning at the 2003 season? It’s been a while so my memory isn’t as good as it once was. But seem to remember hearing about SOMETHING that may have had an adverse effect on MLB hitters in 2003. 🤔
@BBGreatMoments Love 'em both.
Chipper may be one of the most underrated players of all time.
Since 1945, among players to have played 1,200 games at 3B, he's the only one with this line:
▪︎ .300 AVG
▪︎ 450 HRs
▪︎ 450 2Bs
▪︎ 1,500 RBIs
▪︎ 1,500 Rs
▪︎ 150 SBs

@kareemcopeland I agree with “Wow”. I can’t believe it took a review for her to be ejected. It looked like she initially was trying to go for the ball but after she realized she was not going to get there, she just went all out and swung her arm down towards the ball handler’s head. Obvious.

@Joelsherman1 talks about the advantages of not heavily relying on platoons in regards to Atlanta's lineup.
Yuli Guerriel was giving Jose Altuve a hard time for lobbing a ball to first base so next time the ball came to Altuve he fired it to first base as hard as he could on a routine out. Got a good laugh about it.

@MissionVlyMafia They should be undefeated lol. They have championships and the best players, bar none. They SHOULD be heads and shoulders above everyone else. They are SUPPOSED to win. The Brewers & Rays sustaining success is impressive. The Dodgers are what they should be.
