Braves - 2022

Yes he does, but it's called a 5 inning no-hitter; but my fear, is the rain will stop, they'll resume play and let him continue on the mound, doing
a disservice to his arm. 🤞🤞🤞

Here we go...
The pen should be well rested at least. Braves are within one of the Mets if they can finish it out.
Win this one and the Braves are down to one game behind the Mets, who lost to the Nats again by a 7-1 score. Getting very interesting indeed!
Mets lost 8-2. Olson's 3 run bomb has the Braves ahead 6-1 in the top of the 3rd. 🤞 🤞 🤞
Wright was awful … going to have to score 15+ to win this game. Dylan Lee gives up a three run homer. Sheesh!
He was just off …. He’d been pitching so well that when the Braves went up 6-1 I thought the game was effectively over. The good news … Jansen looked good in the ninth.
As well as the Mets have played this season, their current three-game losing streak to Washington and Pittsburgh - and being outscored 22-4 over that stretch - comes as a surprise.

LOL … the incessant drumbeat from the fans in the right field. bleachers … annoying but funny.
That was an impressive outing for Strider. For a rookie to find his bearings and overcome a poor first inning to pitch five strong innings and pick up his 10th win … outstanding.
Should be a helluva finish down the stretch, Mets have a easy schedule but are starting to do some very Mets things
Definitely, advantage Mets.

I like the first three, especially the new rule regarding the shift. Not sure what to make of #4.
New rules for MLB:
New rules for MLB:
The shift
The new rule: At the time a pitch is thrown, there will need to be four infielders on the dirt and two on each side of second base. Players will be able to move as soon as the ball leaves the pitcher's hand.Pitch clock
The new rule: Pitchers will have 15 seconds to throw a pitch with the bases empty and 20 seconds with a runner on base. Hitters will need to be in the batter's box with eight seconds on the pitch clock.Pickoffs
The new rule: Pickoffs are now considered one version of "disengagements," which consist of any time that the pitcher makes a pickoff attempt, fakes a pickoff, or steps off the rubber, as well as when the defense requests time. Pitchers are allowed two disengagements per plate appearance without penalty.Bigger bases
The new rule: Bases will be increased from 15 inches to 18 inches. ... The increase in the size of the bases should reduce injuries around them while increasing stolen base attempts.A Braves sidenote on the pitch clock rule: According to Brooksgate, the Braves’ Kenley Jansen averages 29.8 seconds – that’s a shot-clock violation in the NBA – between deliveries. He’s third-slowest among MLB pitchers.
How the heck does a larger base reduce injuries? I was unaware the current base causes injuries. 
I can see increasing stolen bases but injuries has me puzzled too. Thumb injuries occur on going face forward on hand swipes and you don't see that many knee injuries from sliding foot first so who knows. Side note: Will Muschamp was apparently an elite RB and baseball player in high school. While playing baseball in the spring he slide into second and tore he knee so bad he never ran the same again. They ended up moving him to a DB in college. Maybe they are putting a little more space between the 1st baseman and the runner but you don't see collisions too often there either? I'm at loss at that reasoning.How the heck does a larger base reduce injuries? I was unaware the current base causes injuries.
I think it's referring to reducing injuries at first base primarily. A larger base there would theoretically reduce the number of injuries where a player's foot gets spiked when the pitcher is racing the base runner to the bag to get the throw on a ground ball to the right side.
—Ty “Spikes Up” Cobb—had the rep for sliding into a base spikes up. Cobb was known to sharpen his spikes
