more falafel please posted:Swarming bees are unlikely to attack because they only swarm when they don't have a hive, and all their protection instincts are about perceived threats to the hive. But having a swarm on the netting during an MLB game would almost certainly disrupt the bees, so it's as much for their benefit as for the players/fans that they get collected. Oh, I'm not for a minute saying they should have played through it. I'm just talking about the multitude of talking heads throughout the event who acted like the bees were suddenly going to swarm the people like hornets.

Apparently this is the first time in Cubs history that they won 18 games in April.

It's so post 2009 Yankees that they haven't really missed Cole that much and they are losing, as always, because of their dogshit lineup.

It is kind of interesting to me that nobody's running away from their division so far except for the Dodgers.

zoux posted:I mean, they had to sign him after he set the record* and it happened to be the offseason where a bunch of 30 year olds were signing 100 year contracts, so I get it. I can only hope it cripples their ability to construct rosters for a decade. The Yankees absolutely should have let Judge walk. They also absolutely could not let Judge walk, because if they were outbid for their own superstar they would no longer be the New York Yankees. Ya love to see it

Judge just seems unlucky (for him ) on fly balls/ home run ratio at the moment. Every thing else seems close to career normal. He’s still having a good season and is at any moment capable of having like a 12 hr month Edit If his strike out and walk rates were tending down I’d be worried

Stadiums are huge and beehives being built somewhere in them are pretty common, I think it's standard practice to have a Beehive Removal Person on retainer/on call. Obviously the hives are usually found and removed outside of gametime hours.

754 ops is well above average I.e. “good” That’s a pretty standard and consensus meaning of the word.

Babip can go down as a player ages due to less speed and less hard hit balls. He is hitting it a tad less hard. I don’t know how well he’s running compared to other years

I agree with McMagic kind of, that lineup doesn't seem that good to my eyes. When Judge isn't hitting they look awfully mid but I just looked at the stats and they're not mid! they just kinda seem like a team full of geezers I guess

The Yankees have been really bad offensively with the exception of Juan Soto. Don't forget to look on the bright side: it's 20% of the way through the season and it can get much worse.
