@_real_Rich_ @BBGreatMoments Maddux looks silly. Schilling probably the closest.

@44dmo @BBGreatMoments AI is a bit off on each of them. 😬

Game 7 of the World Series. You can call on 1 of the 9 legends pictured, in his prime. Who takes the mound?

@76pack @theaceofspaeder @shegone03 @JCraigFlowers @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @iamrags @artofhitting I’m not talking about inning one. I want a 38% on base guy in front of Harper. Not a 28% on base guy.

@44dmo @theaceofspaeder @shegone03 @JCraigFlowers @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @iamrags @artofhitting There is so much more to it than a theoretical situation in inning one when the “opening pitcher” is least susceptible.

Byron Buxton is having a great year but I just don’t understand why he’s hitting leadoff. Wouldn’t it make more sense to bat him 3rd or 4th so he could knock in someone other than himself? #shegone @JCraigFlowers @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @iamrags @artofhitting @hittingguru7 @slider_sinker @SliderDom @low_and_outside @TheRealJHair

@MicParabolic @BaseballQuotes1 First thing I thought

@BaseballQuotes1 How do you hit for the cycle and only have 2 runs on the board? Heck 1 of them you put there! Did no one else decide hitting would be important?

Getting picked off while getting a standing ovation for hitting for the cycle is hysterical

@CBCJakeMck I think a lot of people actually picked them to beat Kansas

What a run from Oklahoma the last few weeks. No one picked them to win in Atlanta No one picked them to win in Kansas No one picked them to win in Omaha Yet they sit one game away from playing for the national championship

@theaceofspaeder @76pack @shegone03 @JCraigFlowers @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @iamrags @artofhitting No. You are wrong. I don’t want Harper up with “RISP”. I want him up with a runner on 1st. That is scoring position.

@44dmo @76pack @shegone03 @JCraigFlowers @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @iamrags @artofhitting well, you are wrong.

@theaceofspaeder @76pack @shegone03 @JCraigFlowers @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @iamrags @artofhitting Best hitter should hit second. It’s about 18~ PA less than the leadoff over the course of the season. But they have a lot more opportunities with runners on base.

@76pack @shegone03 @JCraigFlowers @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @iamrags @artofhitting give it a read, Jeff. Let me know what you think. x.com/theaceofspaede…

@76pack @shegone03 @JCraigFlowers @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @iamrags @artofhitting @theaceofspaeder Bat him second then

@shegone03 @JCraigFlowers @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @iamrags @artofhitting They will, later in the game. He’s by far the best hitter on the team, so the team should want him to get the most at bats. @theaceofspaeder is all over this.

@spj776 @OleTimeHardball No one is taking Ozzie over Ripken lmao

@OleTimeHardball Top row takes every one on one. Cal Ripken? Are you serious?

One row for the entirely of their careers Top row, or the bottom?

@OleTimeHardball Bottom. Top row is all right handed hitters with exception of Ozzie.

@BBGreatMoments Is that an umpire or an usher

When Miami pulled off the “grand illusion” play in the College World Series against Wichita State.

@GeorgeStoia Not a great inning for Skip

#Sooners got two on with one out, but a double play ends the inning. OU needs three outs to advance.

@Bdrumm_OUI Are they over excited? lmao

#Sooners need to calm down right now.

@SoonerRecluse @GeorgeStoia Went thru the line-up 3 times thru 7. Innings Never should’ve gone out for the 8th.

@44dmo @GeorgeStoia One too many.

Xander Mercurius is staying in the game for the #Sooners in the 8th.

@GeorgeStoia Faced two batters too many.

Mercurius gets the first batter out on a ground out, but gives up another solo shot and it's 4-3 with one out in the 8th. That'll do it for Mercurius. Heck of an outing.

@No_Mo_Diversity @uniformcritic Yes. And he was a catcher. Hence his great value.

@44dmo @uniformcritic He was a good hitter - for a catcher. Doesn't make him a good hitter in absolute sense. Lousy BA, very low walk numbers. Good power.

Lance Parrish turns 70 today. His 324 HRs are the 5th most for a catcher (tied w/Gary Carter). An 8 time All Star, won 6 Silver Sluggers & 3 Gold Gloves. 13th most games ever as a catcher. One of the most durable & power hitting catchers ever.

@JohnNaborsShow What was the call on the HBP?

Still gives me chills. Was one of the greatest Razorback moments I’ve been able to witness in person. For strikeout number 19 just casually throwing 97MPH. Unreal GREATNESS FOR GAGE

@MLBReplays_ That first bunt was nearly terrible

The best bunts in MLB history

@No_Mo_Diversity @uniformcritic Just a slightly above league average hitter - which for a catcher, made him a VERY good hitter.

@uniformcritic Good fielding catcher but just an average hitter. Best he ever did in MVP voting was 9th.
