@tangotiger @oldhockeycards If a batter gets hit on the elbow guard, it’s a ball not a HBP

[Alex Tufts @Tuftsa]

I’ve never understood why some use the word ‘balk’ to describe any rule-breaking baseball act which results in runners advancing

[Baseball Quotes @BaseballQuotes1]

Ever seen a balk on a catcher?

Now you have

[Alex Tufts @Tuftsa]

@AussieLinse old school coaches losing their minds over that

[Alex Tufts @Tuftsa]

@AussieLinse @timseil9 Do not recall Fennell getting that high off the ground. Didn’t he trip over the foul line?

[Alex Tufts @Tuftsa]

Anyone else coincidentally chopping onions during that Jose Bautista tribute?

[Alex Tufts @Tuftsa]

@AussieLinse Need to rewatch this game, what a matchup

[Alex Tufts @Tuftsa]

@AussieLinse agreed. Out of line move throwing at Karim Garcia’s head in ‘03 ALCS? (Not 90s, I know). Garcia is maybe dead if he doesn’t turtle-duck there

[Alex Tufts @Tuftsa]

@AussieLinse there and back = 1

[Alex Tufts @Tuftsa]

@AussieLinse higher likelihood of Votto becoming PM or playing for the Jays?

[Alex Tufts @Tuftsa]

@coopincanada Love your work, keep it up!

[Alex Tufts @Tuftsa]

@123JackT Remember when they tried to feed us “highlights” of guys throwing 62 mph? 🤢

[Alex Tufts @Tuftsa]

💯💯💯

[Jack Thompson @123JackT]

Proper effort level when manager lets you pitch. Position players shouldn’t be allowed to pitch unless they try

[Alex Tufts @Tuftsa]

@123JackT Only one player is allowed to stand in foul ground to start, right? Oh wait, I see what you did there

[Alex Tufts @Tuftsa]

@HodgySpeaks At times, yes. And we shouldn’t need it because it’s, in most cases, against your best interest. But here we are. Hoping the players adjust quickly!

[Alex Tufts @Tuftsa]

@megtock @AussieLinse 100% still the kid

[Alex Tufts @Tuftsa]

and who doesn't love watching, after a long inning when starter is getting weary, the lead off hitter slowly walking to the plate, several extra warm up swings, pine tar reload, shoe untie & retie, complete reconstruction of batters box to delay. Why is this tolerated

[Alex Tufts @Tuftsa]

Rules are modernised sometime after it was clear that every park would have an electronic scoreboard: pitch clock, timed breaks and timeouts instead of anarchy and unwritten rule guessing games. Not sure how you solve the injury break dilemma though. https://t.co/V3UWRqziaU

You get to change one thing in baseball history.
What would it be?
Choose wisely.

my 1Bman went down once, lengthy stoppage due to a perceived ankle injury. Coach etc all come out. He was groaning in pain but said he would tough it out - confessed to me after the inning he faked the whole thing because he thought it would help us break up the offensive rally
