who the FUCK was name that yank 😭😭😭

@TiltonC74 @TroyPSilva @MLB Okay but they’re more accurate than a human. You have to know that right?

@sidTIM_ @TroyPSilva @MLB Introducing fucking robotic abs, that is not even 100% accurate because nothing is, is an abomination to the game of baseball that is so ingrained to accept the human element that they have a stat for errors. You trying to sound intelligent is laughable.

Hey @MLB Just go ABS for every pitch already

@TalkinYanks @YESNetwork Run would score if it crossed home before the second out. Would not be an RBI either way. Idk why he cares if it’s an RBI THOUGH

Jazz Chisholm Jr. says he doesn't know if the game-ending run would have scored if he had gotten the out at 1B first, and then gotten the second out of the double play at second (via @YESNetwork)

Am I overthinking this? It only rains at a ballpark when the tarp is on the field. So, if we never put the tarp on the field....would it rain?

@YumCaleb @Brant_Freeman Even better…two wild pitches. Then it’s 27 up and 27 down, with an unearned run and you lose

@Brant_Freeman Alright here’s one of my favorite questions. MLB pitcher throws a perfect game, but game is tied 0-0 entering B10. Ghost runner at second scores after two sac flies, pitcher takes the 1-0 loss. Is it still a perfect game?

Waiting out this rain delay at Irvin-Rasmussen in Slam Marcos. Any questions from twitter out there? Fire away, I've got time...

@MLB_ScoRHEgami The whole world needs to be following you

Thank you for 100 followers!

@YankeeReport_ A triple play on My9. Nothing like it

13 years ago today: the Yankees turn the strangest triple play of all time.

@kokoken53 @TroyPSilva @MLB Not what the post is about

@TroyPSilva @MLB Fire all the umpires and play games without them? What would that accomplish?

@TiltonC74 @TroyPSilva @MLB This is a slippery slope logical fallacy. Your argument is irrelevant. We’re talking about balls and strokes being accurately called by a machine, and that’s it.

@TroyPSilva @MLB Why not just code it up as an AI video game and just get rid of players and umpires.

@bradenjosh10 @TroyPSilva @MLB Yes

@TroyPSilva @MLB Just because we have the technological ability to do something, doesn’t mean we should. We probably also have the technological ability to get rid of umpires all together, but is that really good for the game? Just computers making all the decisions and no human element?

@lehkycharm Why? Just read the information about what you’re buying.

sorry but if i pay for an ESPN+ subscription i should automatically get regular ESPN with it

@alo127118 Stop complaining

The Phillies are *not* at home on July 4th and this feels like poor scheduling on the MLB’s part.

@Jomboy_ “Have to go from the set” What are you talking about? He should go from the set. It’s dumb to go from the windup with a runner on. But is there really a rule that you can’t go from the windup with a runner on? What are you talking about here? Did you misspeak?

Umpire correctly calls a balk after noticing a slight difference in Blue Jays pitcher Kevin Gausman’s delivery, a breakdown

@ScienceDaddio @Jomboy_ You’re right. You can pitch from the windup with a runner on, but you never would because if you do, then the runner can get a massive jump and steal second effortlessly if you pitch from the windup. Unless there’s a new rule with the pitch clock i didn’t know

@Jomboy_ And can’t you pitch from the windup anytime you want? You can’t throw over to first from the windup, but if you’re up by 10 in the 9th, I’m not worried about the guys on base. At least not immediately. So confused.

@MarkMcD33489186 @Jomboy_ You’re talking about two different things. You can sidestep without balking. You can sidestep after stopping. He sidesteps here without balking

@Jomboy_ It wasn’t a balk it was a slide step which if you watch Gausman at all like I do as a Canadian and a jays fan would know he does every once in awhile. Umpire was wrong

@Jomboy_ Okay but you said he “has to go from the stretch with a runner on” but that’s not true. He can go from the windup, but it would be stupid if he did. But he doesn’t HAVE to go from the stretch as a rule

@BenchwarmerBran Well…as an ABS defender, I will say ABS is governing the zone differently than how the rulebook does. ABS is a flat plane, but the rulebook zone was any part of the plate from front to back. MLB did kind of change the zone

Easily the funniest side effect of the ABS system is the number of people exposing themselves that they never knew how strike zones worked in the first place

@Freed_Saint @baseballphilmck @ScoringChanges @Reds @Marlins If the single advanced people two bases in real life, then you could assume the single would score the runner from second

@baseballphilmck @ScoringChanges @Reds @Marlins You can't automatically assume a runner from 2nd scores on a single. It's just like you can't assume the double play.

🚨CHANGE 21🚨 4/9 @Reds at @Marlins B7 the run scored by Agustin Ramirez is now an unearned run for pitcher Jose Franco, instead of an earned run Change 2 for MIA #ATOBTTR #FightinFish

@TheWARmonger_ @ScoringChanges Which is ironic

@TheWARmonger_ @ScoringChanges I also find it funny that the fans that get the most upset over these non-errors are all the staunchest ERA, batting average, and pitcher win defenders

Because misjudging a ball and falling down isn’t an error. He doesn’t, for ease of definition, drop the ball, he falls over.
