Guy is 0-10. Would had made more sense to pinch hit him.

These Padres/Dodgers and Mets/Phillies series are going to set a record for NLDS fights in the stands. Should be great baseball though. Some real rivalry angles to a lot of these series.

Really smart play by Lindor there to not catch that ball on the fly.

Incredible. God bless the internet sometimes. This is just crazy. Mets caught Devin Williams tipping pitches for the brewers. Alonso knew exactly what was coming.

I don’t follow the brewers much but I remember watching them play the Cards later in the season where devin Williams blew the save. I remember thinking to myself how shocking it was for a guy with such dominant stuff to be target practice. Imagine learning this lesson in the playoffs. I wonder how many teams were just sitting on this scouting report and what an opportune moment to strike 2 runs down in a close out game. Simply incredible stuff and whoever spotted that for the Mets needs to have a parade in their honor.
And Alonso’s patience to wait specifically for a fastball in the zone. Incredible. With these kinds of geeked out details how can anyone not fall madly in love with sports |

Nobody gets to 2 strikes that often with the stuff that Williams has and can't put any of them away. I'm watching that game and he took virtually every hitter he faced to a 2 strike count and then they got him. That almost ALWAYS suggests he's tipping. Guys don't hit with 2 strikes like that.

Hell, he STILL does it during broadcasts (or at least he used to; I'm not sure if he's on anymore). But he wouldn't say what he spotted. He'd just say "yeah, he's giving his pitches away..." and you know he'd relay that information to the clubhouse. Hollywood got a reputation as a bit of a goofball but man, that guy was a baseball savant. He was my favorite player on the Cardinals in that era. Guy just loves the game so much and was so smart about it.

Like you, I think he'd have built support and eventually gotten in. I went from being largely ambivalent about the BBWAA to openly hating them when that happened. Edmonds isn't an inner-circle HoFer -- he didn't break out until a little later in his career and injuries prevented the finishing kick he needed for that sort of thing. But he should've had that sort of Larry Walker slow build that eventually got him in there. And I hate hate hate that so many in the BBWAA hold CFers to the same offensive standards as corner OFers and 1b. It's just ridiculous to me. Edmonds is a HoFer in my book.

In an era of 'catch probability' he'd have gotten full marks for some of those plays he made by playing shallow that other guys just couldn't make. And he'd make them look easy. Then he'd make some insane diving catch in a gap and they'd say "Well yeah, but if he'd have played deeper it wouldn't have been that hard" so they'd simultaneously discount the great catch he made while giving him NO credit for the ones that nobody else makes because they don't position like he did. And the post-season heroics were myriad. Edmonds just got ****ed - full stop.
