no, vargas. he apparently was like an amazing hitter in college and gave it up to pitch in mlb.

remember when he thought he walked in the 2014 world series but it was just ball 3?

Maybe the most adorable thing I’ve seen a sports player do ever.

regardless of the next game's outcome, the royals have already locked up the first 11-game pod of the season

so far:

Pod #1: W

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think we are on pace to win 95+ games this year!

Over 75 wins would make for a fun season

it is obvious to everyone that breaking the season down into 11-game pods is helpful in evaluating this year's royals. let's take a look and see how they've fared so far:

pod 1 1-11: 5-6 L
pod 2 12-22: 2-9 L
pod 3 23-33: 5-6 L
pod 4 34-44: 6-5 W
pod 5 45-55: 6-5 W
pod 6 56-66: 8-3 W
pod 7 67-77: 6-5 W
pod 8 78-88: 6-5 W
pod 9 89-99: 8-3 W
pod 10 100-110: 5-6 L

after a rough start losing the first three pods, ned stark's squad has rallied to take 6 straight. but the run has finally come to an end after taking the L in the most recent pod. we'll check in after the conclusion of 11-game pod #11. game #111 is tonight. go cats.

Hello mocat, how are you? My math says we are closing in on another 11 game pod coming to a close.

in the all-important 39-game pods, the royals are undefeated (2-0)

1: 20-19 W
2: 22-17 W

Pod 1: 12-11 W
Pod 2: 12-11 W
Pod 3: 14-9 W

roys have won all three 23-game pods.

model of consistency.

i always find it more informative to look at 16 game pods.

well i don't think there's any question that 18-game pods are optimal. the season breaks down into a beautiful collection of 9 of them

now this is podracing

cfbandyman · « **Reply #74736 on:** April 15, 2021, 04:28:24 PM »

Hey whether it's 9, 11, 18, 23, 39 game pods there are a lot of ways to somehow try and divide up a 162 game season.

9 or 18 make sense to me since they divide nicely into 162 but, hey, I don't made da rules

Shouldn't have let em back in but still they were kicking so much ass early on it didn't matter!

mocat · « **Reply #74743 on:** April 16, 2021, 11:00:07 AM »

it totally rules getting to play back to back series vs teams the royals have stomped in the playoffs.
and the blue jays' pitcher tonight started game 4 for the mets

7 inning Major League Baseball games. If i ever think of stupider idea please put me in an asylum.

Wait, i just thought of a stupider idea. Runner on second to start the 10th.

Me: “wow baseball is a game with lots of wonderful history.”
Rob Manfred: “I’d like to poop on it.”
Me: “please do not poop on it.”
Manfred: (poops and barfs on baseball)

After four balls you don’t get to take a base but it’s now “coach pitch” for the rest of the at bat

Every mlb team would be managed by a stud relief pitcher.
