Tigs bringing in recently called up 22 year old filthy Jackson Jobe.

I've seen him up close and even 5'9 is really pushing it .

He also hustles on every play which is nice to see from a star.

If the games don't matter for anything but seeding both teams should forfeit one game and tell Manfred to pound sand.

# singles + (2 * # doubles) + (3 * # triples) + (4 * # HR) = Total Bases

Walks and SB don't factor at all.

On Ramirez and Altuve. Us short guys often know we are at a disadvantage from an early age and are thus motivated more to train hard in the gym and also maximize the body that we have. Also shorter guys tend to have better acceleration when running and base stealing in baseball is pretty much just an acceleration race. Ohtani this I believe became the tallest player to ever steal 50 bases. Shorter guys in baseball also benefit slightly from the smaller strike zone.

Baseball jerseys are worn in a pretty unflattering way, a lot of baseball players are jacked and strong but the way the jersey fits them it often isn't so obvious.

Widespread power outages forecast for ATL. So the game should be free to locals if they can actually make it, but if that is the case why not just schedule the KC series and Mets games at a neutral site. Selig didn't hesitate to **** the Astros in 2008 with a neutral site of Mil vs the Cubs, while TB was available.
