~2024 MLB Thread~

Maybe in OBR, but in softball and HS baseball, the BR is out. 

Determining which runs score also gets tricky, but not as much as if one of the runners on base had missed a base and the whole mess then becomes a timing play.

[Cincydawg]

I dimly recall where someone hit a walk off with a runner at second, and the batter touched first and celebrated.  He got credit for a single, as I dimly recall.  Maybe nobody appealed.

Didn't something like that happen with the Harvey Haddix near 13 inning perfect game loss?

Yeah, if the BR doesn't touch all 4 bases, it ain't a homer.

Se robin Ventura grand slam single.


Haddix had that outcome when Aaron walked off the field from first base after Joe Adcock homered ruining the perfect game.

Something much more complicated but similarly happened in two pivotal NL games in 1908. One of which known as Merkle's Boner.

Considering all the relievers who blow a save, and then get the W when their team regains the lead in the bottom of the inning, this seems harsh

I dont like it just cause the rules allow a judgement to be made on the winning pitcher

The rules should not permit judgement to be used here

They should change the rule

[ELA]

I've always thought the two limitations should be...

• If you are in line for the L when you threw your last pitch (not tied), you don't get the W, for what subsequently happens; except...
• If you are in line for a save, and blow it, even if you leave tied, not behind, you can't get a W

whatever the rule should not leave any room for judgement

[Cincydawg]

Often, a number of wins for a short reliever is a bad sign, they do have blown saves of course.  If I see a closer who is say 4-7, I think he probably had BS's.

There are so many stats already ...

Da Braves are filling up hospitals right now.  Or DLs.

[ELA]

Tigers swept Cleveland in a DH today.  5 in a row, to battle back to 7-9.  Not asking for this team to get to the postseason.  Just get me through the summer.  It's been 7 years since the Tigers played meaningful baseball past Memorial Day.  Even the 2021 team that finished with an ok record, dug themselves such a hole, that they had to play outstanding just to almost be .500, so they were never particularly interesting 

[CatsbyAZ]

Oakland’s home attendance Vs the Cubs this past Monday was announced as 4,714.

For the Oakland As it’s like a different form and purpose of tanking than we’re used to. Instead of losing for the sake of a higher draft pick, the As ownership has ruined the gameday experience and driven off the fans to justify moving the team elsewhere – Las Vegas. On top of all that the As have a league worst W/L record of 3-15.

I saw a movie just like that.
