In 1943, Josh Gibson is credited with a career high 116 hits, the only time he is credited with more than 100 hits in a season, on his way to a .466 batting average. Unfortunately he didn’t win the batting title that year…Tetelo Vargas pounded out a .471 average to take home the crown and the title of the greatest hitter in mlb single season history.

Yeah they took the crown from the far more deserving *checks notes* Hugh Duffy, who had set the record in 1894. By your own admission that was well before reliable record keeping.

Vargas is widely regarded as the greatest player ever from the Caribbean.  The baseball stadium in San Pedro de Macoris is named for him.  He's literally the Caribbean Ted Williams.

I’m pretty confident that since ~1925 the records are pretty accurate. Pre-1920s records should be struck imo. I get your point however.

People find mistakes all the time.  The 1961 AL RBI title was found to be wrong about 15 years ago.

Hard to believe that gallo actually got a hit ….

Influencer Hayden Hopkins was rumored to be expecting a child with Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis, except it’s actually with former Ranger Joey Gallo.Things you didn’t expect to see in 2024.

i never knew until just now that that KG 100% knew that a back door slider was coming, and that that’s why he stepped out of the box- to just focus in on that one pitch. amazing.

Livvy knows how to pick ‘em. Skenes through his first 4 starts: 22 IP, 30 SO, 2.45 ERA, 0.91 WHIP.  They’re going to be very rich someday.

If she doesn’t currently make more money than him it’s very close. She had I believe the highest NIL earnings out of anyone

She definitely wins on annual earnings. Skenes got a $9M signing bonus but has a salary of only $575K/yr. A lot can happen between now and a big contract but his early trajectory is certainly promising.

So much Joey Gallo talk on my TL. Still my favourite story:-Joey Gallo threw a no hitter in high school then that night took Greg Maddux’s daughter to the Prom.

Runner Interference talk not going away

 

this time Soto in Anaheim.

i don’t really know the rule but I definitely don’t know what else a guy is supposed to do 

 
They called interference on Juan Soto here... are we sure Angel Hernandez retired?

Not shoulder checking the SS like it was a drunken Surly tailgate is one option. 

#1237

Lol. Of course everyone is blaming Soto because he plays for the Yankees. It was a bullshit call. He had no route back to the bag and he didn’t “shoulder check” anyone. His hip barely grazed the SS and he completely flopped.

Go review the rules of baseball. It is the runner’s obligation to avoid contact with any fielder trying to make a play even if they are in the base path. He either had to run around him in a non-direct line, or get out. Those were his choices. Going straight to the bag and contacting the fielder is interference. People should learn interference and obstruction rules by 7U.

Does that include coming off the base that he's standing on? There needs to be a halo rule for the bases or else you'll get fielders leaning into this just to get a call.

I don’t believe a runner on a base is required to move. In this play, the runner left 2B then contacted the fielder while returning to the base.

Contact initiated while runner was back on base though in this case. Pitcher last minute adjusted to initiate that contact while runner was standing still on base.

Yes, because this is a brand new rule that fielders haven't quite figured out how to exploit.

Looks like contact before Soto is touching the bag. He’s in a tough spot either way.  If he had got back to the bag first by stepping or sliding, if the umpire felt like he was moving and not trying to avoid contact, he’s going to get called out. Kind of stupid on an infield fly rule since the batter is out, but I guess an egregious interference could result in a loose ball and a runner scoring, so that’s why it’s a rule.

My screenshot shows him clearly on base trying to avoid contact. The SS definitely misplayed the popup and that's why he had to backpaddle

Regardless there needs to be a halo around the bags, period.

Not MLB, but a wild extra-inning play in the Texas 3A state softball tourney yesterday. A run scoring here would’ve ended the game. Coahoma would eventually go on to win in 11 innings.  
 

Wow! Double play! Coahoma and Whitesboro going to the ninth in the 3A semifinals tied at 8.

lots of people have been complaining about her all season, and plenty of others have stepped in to say that she’s only being criticized because she’s a woman, but the truth is she sucks. that “clever” word play is her shtick, and he does that stupid shit throughout the entirety of every broadcast. she seriously is the lowell galindo of mlb broadcasting, and it’s kind of infuriating, because if you care about progress for women *at all* then you don’t want the first prominent female radio broadcaster to be some overly eager try-hard with an actual shtick that she never strays from. she’s either related to someone important, or the people who gave her that gig did so purposely just to stick it to women.
