Ortiz seems like an asshole, and never gets called out for it.


Never gets called out for popping up in the Mitchell Report either.

Yelich is close to signing a 9/slightly over 200M deal with the Brewers. That is a lot of money and also an insane bargain. Confused.

missed in all the hubub with all the new rules is the answer to an old trivia question has changed quite drastically.

What is the minimum number of pitches that a pitcher can throw in a full nine-inning game?

What is the minimum number of pitches that a pitcher can throw in a full nine-inning game and lose?

Balks and pickoffs?

Nowadays you can issue an intentional walk without throwing a pitch. Then pick him off.
In order to lose the game you would need something like a wild pickoff throw, coupled with the fielders throwing the ball around trying to get the runner, and he circles the bases. Or a balk. Once the runner goes to 1st base there's any number of ways to have him come around and score without any pitches required.

Trey Mancini left Orioles camp for a "non-baseball medical procedure". Doesn't sound good
