I'm not breaking any news here, but those inside the park homeruns are almost always born from a defensive miscue.

I always enjoy inside the park home runs. Usually a speedster blazing on the base paths with precision cuts on the bases.

Paul Skenes' pitching motion not bending his back (at times) and awkwardly landing puts a lot of stress on his arm.

I truly hate the right foot swing. Cease and Peavy, for example. It's a sign you are fighting your downhill momentum.

The first thing you should think about with pitching is WHY you are on a hill.

Baseball has created a huge problem with pitchers injuries. Velocity stressed, 100 or less pitch count and pulled, dragged out IL stints with the slightest injury, guaranteed contracts. Doesn't appear to be a solution with so many contributing factors.

MLB is coming to Roku, no subscription required. Granted, it's one game on Sunday, but I like that they're trying to build the brand rather than hide content behind a pay wall.

Got an email from MLB.TV. $69 gets you the rest of the year.

I'd say there's panic brewing. A poll of 18-29 yr olds had 7% for baseball being their favorite sport to watch.

Yeah, but Watching Other People Play Fortnite won that poll with 60% of the vote.

Remove likely nerds from the sample and baseball is just fine.
