Michael Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 We've been wondering this all year. So many steals last year when that was less doable. So few steals this year when it is doable. It's like this time tries to zig when the league zags. Just zag, dammit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricOwens! Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Is there anything lamer than people making a big deal of Acuna’s 60 SB? It’s not impressive with the new rules. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordMagnus Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 It's very odd. You don't do it just to steal bases but also hit and runs. It can move defenders out of place so more of those grounders get through. Puts more pressure on the defense. Stay out of a double play. It only makes too much sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystikol87 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Especially with Berti, who not only led the league in steals last season but also had a much better % than Acuña does this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Jazz steals a base in 9th and then Marlins get an insurance run cause of it. Although his lack of hustle nearly cost the team that run. Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeal4teal Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Maybe the league doesn’t want an extreme amount of evidence against their decision to widen the bases. Some teams or perhaps the whole league could be under league restraint for prosperity of the game or the hope that bigger bases will become longevity for the sport. So far, this year the stolen base success rate is above 80%. However, the attempts are only 0.3 higher per team than last year. With an 80% + success rate, it should make us question why isn’t teams attempting more steals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A prima donna who's barely played this season but fancies himself as an all-star that can't be bothered put in some effort by merely RUNNING?! You don't hustle you ride the fucking bench.

Don’t you know It’s actually spelled “Pre-Madonna”. 😂 It always cracks me up so much when people incorrectly write “Pre-Madonna” and think it’s correct. Like I wonder what they’re thinking.. if someone is acting like a diva they are acting like the way you would describe someone acted before the material girl herself got famous and acted like that but there wasn’t a way to describe that attitude before Madonna was around. 😂 Edited September 4, 2023 by SirFishFan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
