Javier Baez was pulled from the game on Thursday night when this base running blunder caused the Tigers to run into a double play.
Manager A.J. Hinch called him into the tunnel and Baez did not return to the game.

And yet, we’re seeing pitching performances altered because the artificial rhythm of the game doesn’t let them warm up or prep their arm between pitches properly
3 hours of faster baseball would be awesome. All I wanted was less dicking around between pitches.
Also, yes, I do go to bed at 10 because my workday starts at 7:30.
Was three hours really a big deal though
Like, I get disliking the five hour games. But this isn’t the league that was consistently having the five hour games
A REALLY FUN THING WITH TRAYCE THOMPSON'S 3 HR GAME
which means nothing, but is FUN, and we love fun:
all 3 had the SAME EXIT VELOCITY
107.5 mph
he's the 1st player with 3 HR at the exact same EV in a game tracked by Statcast (2015)
h/t the wizard
It’s definitely notable that baseball is missing those finesse starting pitchers and a couple knuckleballers right now. Nothing wrong with big velo guys, but having a variety of styles is good for the game.
Started watching baseball a little more.. pitching is gone, now throwers are taking over.. sad to see.. these hitters are to good. 102 looks cool to the fans. But 102 down the middle looks even better to these hitters
