Lol the Nats are so proud of their bullpen cart. Nobody uses it but when a reliever comes in they open up the little door and the cart zooms out and does two laps around the field anyway, just to keep it loose I guess

I think that's Bill Caudill on the Mariners program, bottom right, one of the bullpen saviors the Jays tried before they struck gold with Henke.

It’s sort of dumb that dudes like Heath Bell would sprint to the mound, yeah? Why would you want to elevate your heart rate etc right before you start pitching?

Have never been a pitcher, but something about recruiting lactate & catecholamines (sp?) into fast twitch muscle fibers in order to boost muscle performance.

lmao mlb, this is such a huge cultural difference for mehttps://www.masslive.com/redsox/2024/07/red-sox-jarren-duran-on-mlb-warning-over-shirt-a-fine-id-be-happy-to-pay.html
MIAMI — On a column next to Jarren Duran’s locker in the Red Sox’ clubhouse at Fenway Park, a two-page letter from Major League Baseball is posted for everyone to see.The letter, addressed directly to Duran, is from Michael Hill, the league’s senior vice president of on-field operations. It’s an official warning that Duran violated policies by wearing a custom-made undershirt that says “F--- ‘Em’ in a postgame interview with NESN’s Jahmai Webster after Duran hit a walk-off single to beat the Blue Jays in a comeback win June 24. One page of the letter is Hill’s warning that Duran shouldn’t be seen on TV wearing a shirt with expletives on it. The other is the evidence — screenshots of Duran and Webster on the field with Duran donning the shirt.Duran understands that he broke baseball’s rules. But considering what the slogan means to Duran — and everything he has been through in both his major league career and life — the letter isn’t going to change much.“I’m not surprised because obviously, it’s bad words and bad language,” he said Thursday before playing the Marlins. “It’s understandable. I’m glad they didn’t fine me. They just gave me a warning. If I ever hit a walk-off again, I’ll just take everything off so I don’t get in trouble.“But that would be a fine I’d be happy to pay,” he added. “I wouldn’t have a problem paying that fine because it’s just me wearing something that means a lot to me.”
When the Celtics visited Fenway Park to celebrate their NBA championship early last week, Joe Mazzulla liked Duran’s shirt so much that the outfielder gifted him one.

Just talking with friends about something related last night, though the opposite of what you're saying: how, post-Trump, "fuck" is all over CNN now, even early in the evening. Bill Maher uses it liberally and they leave it in. I swear like a truck driver, but, irrational though it may be, I don't like hearing it on a news network. I guess that's the teacher in me.

Anyway I understand a blanket prohibition but I guess curious about the blanket policy even if the word is partially redacted as it is here. Someone pointed out during the Jays series in Toronto that Sportsnet (?)had a closeup of Duran at the plate and they quickly cut away when they realised his wrist wraps(https://www.instagram.com/p/C4Op7q9OfpB/) were in full view lol

He shouldn’t be at risk if there’s no powder to dick contact right, like if he’s just dusting his upper thighs? Assume that’s where baseball uniforms chafe most in heat

i think he's de-moisting skin-to-skin zones in the groin area. you're right as long as it's only powder-to-skin contact should be OK.

After 11 starts, Skenes is fourth among NL pitchers with 3.1 bWAR (Greene leads with 3.5).
― clemenza, Friday, 12 July 2024 17:08 (two months ago) link
Skenes is going to start the All-Star game, only the fifth rookie to ever do so -- Nomo, Valenzuela, Fidrych, and Dave Stenhouse. I had to look Stenhouse up, he's not a hidden gem, had a solid first half in his rookie year of 1962 but nothing spectacular, and was out of the majors after 1964.
― omar little, Friday, 12 July 2024 17:08 (two months ago) link
I suspect Skenes is going to wind up being the best draft pick in our fantasy league in terms of value relative to where he was chosen.
― omar little, Friday, 12 July 2024 17:09 (two months ago) link
so much pulled pork this year for pitchers, kind of worried already for Skenes
― Michael F Gill, Friday, 12 July 2024 17:10 (two months ago) link
Nomo, Valenzuela, Fidrych
Sounds about right: the media coverage of him this summer and the fan interest are very comparable to what those three experienced.
― clemenza, Friday, 12 July 2024 17:14 (two months ago) link
i read all the stuff about how skenes didn't really start pitching until college and i remember what the tommy john doctors said about the UCL developing until age 24 so i'm hoping that skenes will be alright for awhile since his UCL doesn't have as much wear on it as your average rookie arm does
also hope that he's a genetic freak
― 龜, Friday, 12 July 2024 17:17 (two months ago) link
He seems much more likely to last being built the way he is, for example what happened with Spencer Strider seemed like an absolute inevitability.
― omar little, Friday, 12 July 2024 17:22 (two months ago) link
also i have it on good authority he never pitched his team to the championship game in summer koshien, so he’s got that going for him too

Tarik Skubal has allowed 67 home runs in his career (495 IP). Only four have been to left handed batters. Reminded of this by seeing Freddie Freeman hit one off him.
― Roman Anthony gets on his horse (gyac), Saturday, 13 July 2024 16:16 (two months ago) link
I'm thinking that the two best pitchers in MLB this season are Tarik and Sale, right? I'd really love to see the latter continue on and have a full healthy season, get that nice number of 20 wins and that long overdue Cy Young award.
― omar little, Saturday, 13 July 2024 16:38 (two months ago) link
I would never in a million years guessed who the best pitchers were going to be this season
― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Saturday, 13 July 2024 16:43 (two months ago) link
I went into the year really really bullish on Skubal but he's definitely exceeded all expectations. so many of the guys who have remained healthy and ascended the ranks are players I just never imagined would be doing what they're doing. Lugo? Suarez? You do love to see it.
― omar little, Saturday, 13 July 2024 17:03 (two months ago) link
Skubal was really good last season. Easily would have said him, with Kirby up there. Kirby could still end up there tbh but he’s had some very poor starts
― Roman Anthony gets on his horse (gyac), Saturday, 13 July 2024 17:13 (two months ago) link
Lugo I feel is like Hicks in that they’re both converted relievers and the innings might tell on them soon…Hicks hasn’t looked great his last few starts.
if Kirby turns a corner into more dominant territory he could be a nu-Maddux, as is he's still one of the best pitchers in MLB.
― omar little, Saturday, 13 July 2024 17:51 (two months ago) link
Yeah he’s still only in his second full season, his control is absolutely on another planet compared to the rest of the league. He is a very emotional pitcher and he can lose the run of himself especially if he isn’t getting run support. Servais says everyone avoids him in the dugout if he’s pitching and they haven’t got him any runs.
