[@joshackley2496]

Love Russell, massive preds guy but you can't get doubled up and then play absolutely horrid defense and also be a non-factor at the plate. I don't think you can just show up anymore to this league without doing stuff outside of games. I think it's worth trying Rudy in the field at some point.

[@eliasbelezos]

Maybe he just needs a game off.

[@UnkleRonnie]

Kracht is a man amongst boys when he plays. His pitching is by far the best in the league and he does it effortlessly. Powerful with the bat too. Intentional walks should count as HR’s in the records.

[@davidhamilton699]

Nice job by Jimmy with the play-by-play!

[@italy9327]

8:51 how is that ball 4? Am I missing something? I’m very new to this sport. Like, 30 min new, and that pitch smacked the strike zone?

[@eaglesexpert3459]

They only show you the last pitch of the at bat, if it misses the zone it’s ball four if it hits it then irs strike 3

[@rdub202]

It was a speed violation. It's on the screen for you right after the pitch. 72 and under is safe, 73/74 is a warning. 2 warnings in an inning is a ball. 75+ is auto ball.

First off Jimmy did great! Great series by two great teams. Kracht showed why he's the MVP in Game 1 with that HR. Impressive showing by PB though, 8 straight K's! The double-play was insane too, feels like we always see something new in an MLW game!

[@DemetriusDoctorMusic]

Ryan continues to be UNREAL and gotta love an Alec Warda clutch RBI. Was that McGlade in the background in the black MLW hoodie? Wonder why he’s not being utilized at all. Gotta figure out that Game 2 pitcher and need Russ & Rudy to get their bats going.

Jimmy, great job. You all do wonderful work. I appreciate the class, sportsmanship and competitiveness.

[@PawleyWalnuts]

Can you guys post Ramirez lifetime batting avg please. In all the years I’ve watched this channel I’ve never seen him get a single hit .

[@marshalljensen32]

Bro I commented the same thing. I can remember one. It pains me to watch him

[@PawleyWalnuts]

@@marshalljensen32 dude he is awful

[@ToadKart64]

did some research, and i found with stats from 2021, 2023, 2023 playoffs, and what has been played so far in 2024: Rudy Ramirez: 84 plate appearances, 10 for 73, all singles, ZERO home runs, 5 RBI, 11 walks. .137 AVG / .250 OBP / .421 OPS The most shocking thing I found was that in the 2023 playoffs last year he went 0 FOR 16 with NO WALKS, for a .000 AVG and .000 OBP For players who have gotten a significant amount of plate appearances, he's arguably been the worst hitter in the history of MLW. It's insane that he still has a starting job in this league but I guess that's just what'll happen when you're friends with the right people. Even Dan Schultz made the tough call to cut Neal Smith and Clayton Price from the Eagles despite that they had been on the team together for like 10 years.

[@PawleyWalnuts]

@@ToadKart64 that is amazing reporting work kiddo well done. Assuming these stats are accurate I’m actually surprised is BA is that high. The only thing I’ve ever seen from him is yelling and screaming. Zero production. Those are embarrassing numbers. Maybe thats why he’s toned it down.

[@ToadKart64]

@@PawleyWalnuts he had a decent season (for his standards) in the regular season last year which carries his numbers, batted like .200
