    Lol

    I don't take this stuff seriously at all. Things I do take seriously are things like forgetting to put sunscreen on my feet when at the beach this weekend.

    Note to self. Lol

    The only person that instigated things was Suzuki, the catcher. Canha and Ohtani were cool.

    If we make the playoffs with this current bullpen they certainly can't be counted on.
    It's not like they have a consistent track record to fall back on.

    I was watching the Angels feed and they said Canha yelled something to Ohtani and the announcers felt Suzuki did a good job to defuse the situation.

    MLB .236 batting average though May lowest since 1968

    Strikeouts have averaged 8.99 per team per game, on pace to set a record for the 13th consecutive full season — up from 8.81 two years ago and nearly double the 4.77 in 1979. Strikeouts already are 1,929 ahead of hits, just three years after exceeding hits for the first time over a full season.

    Hits have averaged 7.78 per team per game, the second-lowest behind 7.75 in 1908 during the dead-ball era.

    Since 1968? Even with the DH being added in the early 70s, I expected this was on pace for the lowest BA ever.

    It is, but they lowered the mound in '69 so that is often used as a cutoff date for certain stats.

    Plus you have "fastball". Not a 4-seamer, not a 2-seamer, not a cutter, not a split-finger. It's a mother ****ing fastball.
