@techndiego @JomboyMedia This was pre pitch clock era

It’s impossible for Bob Nightengale to get information correct in his tweets.

It has become impressive.

[Bob Nightengale @BNightengale]

It’s Mexico vs. Italy tonight.
If Italy wins, USA is in.
If Mexico wins and gives up at least 5 runs, USA is in.
If Mexico wins and Italy scores 4 or fewer runs, USA is out.

@misanthrope_I4 @TalkinBaseball_ They took the maximum sentence for each charge and added them up. They are not going to face the maximum sentence for each charge and likely won’t be given consecutive sentences if convicted of multiple charges. There is a chance they don’t go to prison at all.

“I did talk with a friend who was a voter yesterday… and my friend said every player he asks says Aaron Judge.” -Jeff Passan on the AL MVP race

@Jared_Carrabis The Red Sox stunk this year and only got in the dance via expansion. NYY has best record in the AL. 4-0 shutout in Game 3. Boston is where they are supposed to be.

This is the best news for the sport in a long time.

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

Major League Baseball will implement a challenge system for balls and strikes in the 2026 season after the league’s competition committee voted to usher in the era of robot umpiring. Teams will receive two challenges to dispute calls by the home-plate umpire.

Jackson Holliday spoils the Yamamoto no-hitter with two outs in the bottom of the 9th!

[Lunch Break Baseball @LunchBreakBB]

@MLB is ruining itself by not using the automated strike zone. The technology is here. At some point you have to realize that it is turning fans away.

@BigBabyDavid_ @TalkinYanks @teixeiramark25 Famously? He never left Texas for New York. It’s amazing how always wrong you are on here.

[Lunch Break Baseball @LunchBreakBB]

@JohnC112461 @BobbyMilone29 I agree. We saw with Bregman and Alonso last offseason that getting a desirable multi-year offer is not easy when attached to the draft pick.

[Lunch Break Baseball @LunchBreakBB]

@EIGarySanchez @ChrisKirschner That happens every season. Any time it is a team’s home opener they give an off-day after the first game.

[MLB @MLB]

Pete Alonso hits career homer No. 253, passing Darryl Strawberry for the most home runs in @Mets franchise history!

[Lunch Break Baseball @LunchBreakBB]

He’s been off since the blisters. Not a surprise.

[Yankees Fan NJ @YankeesFanNJ]

Fried has a 4.74 ERA since the beginning of July. I don’t think Altuve is that good. I just think our pitchers are that bad

[Lunch Break Baseball @LunchBreakBB]

This man yanked 5 fastballs, threw a wild pitch, gave up a RBI single, a line drive off the right field wall, and a 2-run blast… all TONIGHT

[SNY Yankees @snyyankees]

Devin Williams was asked if he believes he's "close" to breaking out of his struggles:

"Yeah, I mean, I'm close. You go back, in all these games, it's come down to essentially one mistake and they're making me pay for it. Yeah, it's been tough."

[Lunch Break Baseball @LunchBreakBB]

@Jomboy_ His arm slot has dropped. Not sure why he hasn’t been IL’d.

[Lunch Break Baseball @LunchBreakBB]

“The Yankees and Manager Aaron Boone have mutually agreed to part ways” post is going to hit like crack.

[Lunch Break Baseball @LunchBreakBB]

Aaron Boone thinks he’s the smartest man every time. He constantly has his decisions backfire. He walked Langford intentionally to then have Jung hit a walk-off bomb. No matter what his decisions never work.

[Lunch Break Baseball @LunchBreakBB]

Now Ruocco makes fun of Coulombe’s delivery saying “a tapper back to the mound would be effective” since he falls off the mound… then the inning ends on a double play tapper back to the mound.

[Lunch Break Baseball @LunchBreakBB]

We deserved that. Ryan Ruocco made an unnecessary reference basically calling Joc Pederson fat… bizarre for an announcer to do that.

[Lunch Break Baseball @LunchBreakBB]

Devin Williams should not be calling his own pitches. There is a reason that throughout baseball history almost nobody does that.
