Sick of these buzzkill nerd tools telling me how far the ball would have actually gone. Nobody goes third deck, left center at Citi field. This ball looks like 515ft, just tell me it’s 515ft and let me enjoy it.

Codify@CodifyBaseball

This baseball left Ronald Acuña Jr.'s bat at almost 115 MPH but somehow remained in one piece. It went 448 feet!

It's here, entirely my choice. I'm retiring. Appreciated every day of 41 years I've been paid to do what I loved -- writing, covering sports. Without y'all, it wouldn't have been possible. So, thanks from the bottom of my cantankerous heart. Your passion is admirable, beautiful.

@loganvarnell Probably the number one thing I did wrong was try to get back to where I was instead of just embracing where I was at and what I could do after surgery

Logan Varnell@loganvarnell·14 Kas

@EOF34 Just curious, did your position on the rubber change after leaving Atlanta? Or was the inflated ERA a result of health and other factors?

English

Eric O’Flaherty@EOF34·14 Kas

@bravesmma Different vantage points and strengths. The feedback a catcher gives a pitching coach can be a game changer as far as what a pitcher may need to fix… how he fixes it falls more on pitching coach to see through whether it’s a grip, mechanical change, mentality adjustment etc

Austin@bravesmma·14 Kas

@EOF34 Just curious cause you know a million x more about baseball than me but … what is then the purpose of pitching coaches and the staff that supports them?

@SeymourFussball Because it was weird and people are confused/excited haha

Seymour Fussball@SeymourFussball·2 Kas

@EOF34 That’s my perspective. It’s mountain and molehill shit. Don’t know why, of all the things to talk about from that game, that play is what the media is talking about

English

Eric O’Flaherty@EOF34·1 Kas

Run that would have scored didn’t matter. Barger wasn’t getting a triple if Dean just grabs it and throws it in. Barger just as aggressive on second trying to score the tying run and gets doubled up…. Play changed nothing.

Astros Knower@AstrosKnower

If this damn ball doesn’t get wedged the Blue Jays go on to win this game. Brutal.

@scottyz101 And you’re not risking it there unless it’s a sure thing

English

Scott@scottyz101·2 Kas

@EOF34 That's fair, seems like it would've been a close play if they sent him

English

Eric O’Flaherty@EOF34·2 Kas

@NorCalU1 Dean is planted waiting for the hop and Straw has not rounded second base yet. No way they send him.

NorCalU@NorCalU1·2 Kas

@EOF34 Are we talking about the first runner that ended up at third? I think there’s a real good chance that he scores but I did put if. I don’t think that guy had a chance to catch it and that should’ve been almost past second when it hit the ground, and the guy was still chasing it.

English

Eric O’Flaherty@EOF34·2 Kas

@scottyz101 I don’t think it’s a given he scores on that, runner can’t tell from that angle if it’s dropping and Dean was tracking. Need a different angle. Only way he scores easy is when it gets stuck in the fence, which is why the rule exists in the first place.

English

Scott@scottyz101·1 Kas

@EOF34 Sure, but the rest of the inning plays out entirely differently. Good chance they sac bunt and try for a sac fly to tie the game, and Springer likely gets an AB

English

Eric O’Flaherty@EOF34·2 Kas

@NorCalU1 You risking sending him? Straw has to make sure the ball isn’t caught, so he’s not full speed…. Dean is right there if he gets it in quick I’m not sending him when that run means nothing and Mookie has a good arm.

English

NorCalU@NorCalU1·1 Kas

@EOF34 Here’s how it changes- if the first guy scores and there’s man on second and nobody out there’s a pretty decent chance they’re going to try and bunt that guy over. Man on third, one out, now this guy might take a different approach Hitting. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Eric O’Flaherty@EOF34·1 Kas

@jay_drag519 Or if Straw even scores on that ball, Dean got there quick. Point is this call doesn’t drastically change their odds of tying or winning the game. People are acting like it was an inside the park home run that the umps took away. He hit a double, he got a double.

"You would be complaining if it was the Dodgers on the other end of that call!" About being unlucky, maybe, but the call? No, man, cause it's the most routine call ever. The only thing more obvious is the ivy.

@EOF34 Barry Bonds: 4 - IBB 1 R and 1 RBI. Still a better deal than pitching to him. LOL

@EOF34 So, just hit the batter. Nice rule.

Not going to check if this is a joke account, but probably the worst contract you could possibly pick to try to make this point.

Matt Warñer@megawatt_Braves·28 Eki

@EOF34 I was thinking of a rule where the offensive manager could hold up 1 or 2 fingers to give his batter that many strikes to start the at bat. Maybe it would entice the other team to pitch to him instead of IBB. A little extra stategery
