I was getting all set to finally be able to watch the Twins since they were going to be on FS1 on Saturday and then we got bonked with the COVID stick. Alas.

Looks like they might be able to start up again tomorrow.

I'd need some stats to back it up. And I'm too lazy to look it up. But it doesn't feel like balls are flying out of the yard as much. Granted it's not summer yet either.

I need Blzer to fact check me with some illegitimate homerun footage. But it's felt normal to me so far.

Without looking at stats they see down to me, and the strike zone seems A LOT wider this year

Strike zone is definitely wider. I'm surprised Bryce Harper hasn't had a meltdown yet.

Remember when Joe Ross didn't have an ERA?

LOL I didn't know they celebrated a 200th career double for an individual player.

I'm not saying that's not a hell of an accomplishment, but they stopped the game in Philly for Segura to address the fans and collect his bat and ball for it. It felt a little more arbitrary than other milestones I've seen, is all.

I don't even know if they address a 200th career home run the way they did for Segura's 200th double.

Lol, I thought you just meant they mentioned it and kept the ball. Maybe put the achievement on the board and do a 15 second ovation.

What they did is ridiculously overkill unless I'm missing something.

Yeah, that's what I mean. I almost expected The Natural theme to play during it.

Jays have played 16 games so far this season

15 different players have been on the IL

At this rate, how many players will they actually need over the course of a season?

Bo Bichette hit a HR over the green monster, and then some!

Correction.

I love seeing 2 different major league pitchers throw 4 pitch walks in the same inning.

I guess if you keep trotting the same coaches out there you'll eventually get different results one year? I guess that's what the Braves plan is?

Yankees and braves 2 teams still can't hit that on paper should look like a 10-8 game. (even with Acuna Out)
