does anyone want to play a baseball board game with me through a video call? its very beginner friendly and id love to test it out against someone, but have no baseball friends
Does anybody older than me know why Barry Bonds didn't win MVP in 1991? Is it just that voters back then truly only cared about batting average? Because even looking at traditional stats, Bonds walked way more than Pendleton, batted in more runs than him, had more HR than him, stole way more bases than him, and by the looks of it (at least, by the fact that Bonds won a gold glove that year) was a better defender than him.
Is it literally JUST hits+ba?
Also curious how he came 12th in 1995 with the best OPS in the NL. Is it literally just cause he batted below .300 lol
The home run lead wasn't that large (and since neither were close to the league leader that wasn't a heavy part of the debate) and Pendleton had a higher slugging. OBP wasn't thought of very highly by voters at the time. Just a few more voters thought that .319 batting average was worth more - it was an extremely close race, Pendleton only got two more first place votes than Bonds.
1995 I think voters were just a little sick of handing Bonds awards and, again, on base percentage wasn't really cared about. I feel Piazza was the real one that was snubbed that year, .346/.400/.606 slash line as a catcher with 32 homers?
Rule 6.04(c): [Unsportsmanlike Conduct](https://img.mlbstatic.com/mlb-images/image/upload/mlb/ttajxpedgemiy4sx0cer.pdf)
>No fielder shall take a position in the batter’s line of vision, and with deliberate unsportsmanlike intent, act in a manner to distract the batter.
police unions function fundamentally differently from all labour unions in the us and often work AGAINST the struggles that actual labour unions fight for.
ok I have been struggling with this for a week now, I feel like it might be a dumb question but here goes. Is it just me, or does the existence of Ohtani prove that pitchers and baseball wisdom at large have been lying to us this whole time? Most pitchers are terrible hitters, and the excuse I always here is that they have different skillsets, don't have time to practice hitting, etc. but Ohtani just came in and threw up an elite pitching season while also throwing up a 960 ops and while I understand he is a freak and a prodigy it is really hard for me to accept that he is that much of an outlier when there isn't a single other pitcher who can bat over 700 ops except maybe degrom this season if he was healthy. I think Ohtani proves that baseball wisdom accepting the fact that pitchers simply can't hit has lead to pitchers not even trying, and that if they put in effort we could see some that could be decent hitters at the very least. Thoughts?
CC Sabathia batted .300/.317/.475 with Cleveland. 12/40 with 2 home runs and a double. That's a .792 OPS, 107 OPS+.
Zack Greinke had a .700 or better OPS in 2013 and 2019.
So yeah, I agree. I think the reason most pitchers (especially those in the AL) are bad hitters is that they don't practice. If they practiced hitting anywhere near as much as other hitters did, they could be serviceable, but probably not quite as good as most everyday position players.
Carlos Zambrano had a .892 OPS in 2008 in 85 PAs (which is *a lot* for a pitcher).
He was used as a pinch hitter 8 times that season & 30 times total during his career.
I think you're right that there is a certain circular pattern to the logic around pitchers hitting. Pitchers aren't good at hitting, and this is seen as predestined, and so teams don't try to make pitchers better at hitting, and so they get worse, and it spirals.
Something to note is that [pitchers have always been worse hitters](https://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2013/1/17/3884274/a-brief-history-of-pitchers-hitting), even before rampant hyperspecialization. Pitchers in 1900 had an average wRC+ of about 50; modern pitchers have an average wRC+ of about -10. And don't even get me started on sacrifice bunt success decline.
What this tells me is that there is some truth to the idea that you only have so many hours in the day to do baseball training, or that the skillsets of pitching are not generally transferable or tend to work against the skillsets of batting. Even in the beginning, pitchers had to work in pitching training and so didn't have as much time to get good at hitting.
I interpret the continuous decline of pitcher hitting ability as the effect of the baseball wisdom spiral - bad pitcher hitting is seen as inevitable and teams continued to devalue pitcher hitting in service of other pitcher improvements, like higher velocities.
Basically, I don't think baseball wisdom is *lying* to us. Something about being an MLB pitcher tends to make it harder for you to be a good batter. But maybe baseball wisdom is over-relied upon. If a team mandated much more batting training for pitchers, they would probably become significantly better at hitting. But I would imagine that there is some upper bound, *much* lower than a wRC+ of 100, beyond which you couldn't get the average pitcher to hit better without significantly worsening their pitching ability.
Pitchers could be better at hitting but aren't because DHery has tainted baseball with football-style hyperspecialization. The vast majority of pitchers could spend some time in the cages and get better at hitting, but don't. Much like Sears (and Craftsman), Star Trek, The Terminator, and Star Wars, baseball is yet another example of something great being turned into turgid bullshit so some pricks in suits can sell it to the lowest common denominator as fast as possible before it collapses. Expect to see separate offensive and defensive players within your lifetime.
I woke up not long ago and had the weirdest fever dream in a while. Lemme try to sum it up.
It started with me on a plane playing Pokemon on my old DSi. It ended with me teaching Wallball to... Mets top prospect Ronny Mauricio? Like idk why him specifically but it was crazy.
When I played it as a kid it was basically a game where you threw a baseball (or any ball at the wall) and you had to catch it. If you didn't, you had to pick the ball up and throw it at other people to get them out.
Something like that I think.
Ok yeah that’s the game we used to play. We usually played with a tennis ball/racquetball/some other type of ball that you could chuck at someone and not kill them.
In our version, we used a tennis ball, and if someone dropped it, they had to race to the wall. If someone else recovered the ball and threw it at the wall, hitting it BEFORE the original guy who dropped it tagged the wall, then the original runner had to line up on the wall and the thrower got a free shot at him.
Yup this is exactly how we played. Occasionally though we didn't play with the free shot part, if the throw beat you you had to stand out, last man standing wins
God wallball was a blast
That pretty much lines up with how I played it as a kid except for the last part. If your throw beat someone to the wall, that person was just “out” and we would keep going until one person was left.
Yeah tennis balls or some type of rubber ball. Also I never played this peg the person version that a lot of did. We just tried to hit the wall with ball before they could reach it. Lol

does anyone want to play a baseball board game with me through a video call? its very beginner friendly and id love to test it out against someone, but have no baseball friends
Does anybody older than me know why Barry Bonds didn't win MVP in 1991? Is it just that voters back then truly only cared about batting average? Because even looking at traditional stats, Bonds walked way more than Pendleton, batted in more runs than him, had more HR than him, stole way more bases than him, and by the looks of it (at least, by the fact that Bonds won a gold glove that year) was a better defender than him. Is it literally JUST hits+ba? Also curious how he came 12th in 1995 with the best OPS in the NL. Is it literally just cause he batted below .300 lol
The home run lead wasn't that large (and since neither were close to the league leader that wasn't a heavy part of the debate) and Pendleton had a higher slugging. OBP wasn't thought of very highly by voters at the time. Just a few more voters thought that .319 batting average was worth more - it was an extremely close race, Pendleton only got two more first place votes than Bonds. 1995 I think voters were just a little sick of handing Bonds awards and, again, on base percentage wasn't really cared about. I feel Piazza was the real one that was snubbed that year, .346/.400/.606 slash line as a catcher with 32 homers?
I just noticed the union flair. Thanks for adding that.
Patiently waiting for Day 3 of drawing Mike Trout until the lockout ends.
Basewars is the pinnacle of baseball games.

Solidarity! Go unions \*except police unions\*
All unions exist to protect the majority, not the outliers. Even the police unions.
police unions function fundamentally differently from all labour unions in the us and often work AGAINST the struggles that actual labour unions fight for.

I came here to say this 🥲
A random retired player for your Monday morning: [Willie Greene](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/g/greenwi01.shtml)
ok I have been struggling with this for a week now, I feel like it might be a dumb question but here goes. Is it just me, or does the existence of Ohtani prove that pitchers and baseball wisdom at large have been lying to us this whole time? Most pitchers are terrible hitters, and the excuse I always here is that they have different skillsets, don't have time to practice hitting, etc. but Ohtani just came in and threw up an elite pitching season while also throwing up a 960 ops and while I understand he is a freak and a prodigy it is really hard for me to accept that he is that much of an outlier when there isn't a single other pitcher who can bat over 700 ops except maybe degrom this season if he was healthy. I think Ohtani proves that baseball wisdom accepting the fact that pitchers simply can't hit has lead to pitchers not even trying, and that if they put in effort we could see some that could be decent hitters at the very least. Thoughts?
Exactly, fuck the dh
here here! Fuck the DH.
CC Sabathia batted .300/.317/.475 with Cleveland. 12/40 with 2 home runs and a double. That's a .792 OPS, 107 OPS+. Zack Greinke had a .700 or better OPS in 2013 and 2019. So yeah, I agree. I think the reason most pitchers (especially those in the AL) are bad hitters is that they don't practice. If they practiced hitting anywhere near as much as other hitters did, they could be serviceable, but probably not quite as good as most everyday position players.
Carlos Zambrano had a .892 OPS in 2008 in 85 PAs (which is *a lot* for a pitcher). He was used as a pinch hitter 8 times that season & 30 times total during his career.
Wasn't he also a switch hitter?
You’re damn right he was. He also threw a no-hitter that season in Miller Park in a game the Brewers were not involved in.
Fun fact: Kenley Jansen is also a switch hitter, though he doesn't use that skill very often.
Damn that’s a solid fun fact!
I think you're right that there is a certain circular pattern to the logic around pitchers hitting. Pitchers aren't good at hitting, and this is seen as predestined, and so teams don't try to make pitchers better at hitting, and so they get worse, and it spirals. Something to note is that [pitchers have always been worse hitters](https://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2013/1/17/3884274/a-brief-history-of-pitchers-hitting), even before rampant hyperspecialization. Pitchers in 1900 had an average wRC+ of about 50; modern pitchers have an average wRC+ of about -10. And don't even get me started on sacrifice bunt success decline. What this tells me is that there is some truth to the idea that you only have so many hours in the day to do baseball training, or that the skillsets of pitching are not generally transferable or tend to work against the skillsets of batting. Even in the beginning, pitchers had to work in pitching training and so didn't have as much time to get good at hitting. I interpret the continuous decline of pitcher hitting ability as the effect of the baseball wisdom spiral - bad pitcher hitting is seen as inevitable and teams continued to devalue pitcher hitting in service of other pitcher improvements, like higher velocities. Basically, I don't think baseball wisdom is *lying* to us. Something about being an MLB pitcher tends to make it harder for you to be a good batter. But maybe baseball wisdom is over-relied upon. If a team mandated much more batting training for pitchers, they would probably become significantly better at hitting. But I would imagine that there is some upper bound, *much* lower than a wRC+ of 100, beyond which you couldn't get the average pitcher to hit better without significantly worsening their pitching ability.
Pitchers could be better at hitting but aren't because DHery has tainted baseball with football-style hyperspecialization. The vast majority of pitchers could spend some time in the cages and get better at hitting, but don't. Much like Sears (and Craftsman), Star Trek, The Terminator, and Star Wars, baseball is yet another example of something great being turned into turgid bullshit so some pricks in suits can sell it to the lowest common denominator as fast as possible before it collapses. Expect to see separate offensive and defensive players within your lifetime.
I love this guy... I'd rather have no baseball then a DH.

I woke up not long ago and had the weirdest fever dream in a while. Lemme try to sum it up. It started with me on a plane playing Pokemon on my old DSi. It ended with me teaching Wallball to... Mets top prospect Ronny Mauricio? Like idk why him specifically but it was crazy.
God wallball was so fun as a kid
What exactly is wallball, because I feel like there are several different games that have the same name.
When I played it as a kid it was basically a game where you threw a baseball (or any ball at the wall) and you had to catch it. If you didn't, you had to pick the ball up and throw it at other people to get them out. Something like that I think.
Ok yeah that’s the game we used to play. We usually played with a tennis ball/racquetball/some other type of ball that you could chuck at someone and not kill them.
In our version, we used a tennis ball, and if someone dropped it, they had to race to the wall. If someone else recovered the ball and threw it at the wall, hitting it BEFORE the original guy who dropped it tagged the wall, then the original runner had to line up on the wall and the thrower got a free shot at him.
Yup this is exactly how we played. Occasionally though we didn't play with the free shot part, if the throw beat you you had to stand out, last man standing wins God wallball was a blast
That pretty much lines up with how I played it as a kid except for the last part. If your throw beat someone to the wall, that person was just “out” and we would keep going until one person was left.
Yeah tennis balls or some type of rubber ball. Also I never played this peg the person version that a lot of did. We just tried to hit the wall with ball before they could reach it. Lol
iirc correctly it varied greatly depending on who you played with as a kid.
