    Someone should throw behind La Russa.

    The stories of how the White Sox players really do not like LaRussa is crazy. This early in the season and he has already lost his team

    Maybe they are hitting well because they see LaRussa's face on the ball. Just like Castellanos sees Manfred's.

    Seriously, just chuck the ball straight into the dugout. Oops.

    If I were an MLB player I would be a Scrappy Lunchpail Guy Who Plays the Game the Right Way, except every time I hit a HR against a LaRussa team i would do a KBO-tier bat flip and combine Ozuna and Acuña’s HR trots.

    Apparently it was mystery bobble head night for the Rangers for all the ones made for the 2020 season that they didn't get to hand out. And a lot of people got a Rangers Kluber one as he no hit them. lmfao

    I am confident that the #Braves offense would be thriving right now if not for the ball change. They’re still crushing it but the slight changes have clearly thrown them off. Adjustments are needed.

    We are seeing that right now, yes.

    Need to end the shift and let hitters adjust.

    Move the pitchers mound back... to second base. Then the pitcher can also play second.

    Everyone and their mother is throwing no-hitters, and we're still sitting on Kent Mercker's from nearly 30 years ago.

    Yes. All pitchers get WAR from hitting/fielding and pitching.
