In yesterday's game, Pirates' manager Don Kelly was ejected, perhaps to motivate his team. This moment reflects a broader sentiment of nostalgia for heated arguments in baseball, reminiscent of the 90s. Despite technological advancements like video review and automated ball-strike systems, many fans still yearn for the raw emotion and drama those altercations brought to the game. Additionally, performance statistics from the day indicate the team's struggles and successes in various offensive metrics, showcasing the ebb and flow of their season.
Manager tantrums aren't what they used to be. I like that we have video review and ABS is on its way. But still, I miss the drama.
Don Kelly of the Pirates was ejected yesterday. I'm not sure if it was purely to inspire his team or not, but he likely had a point.
I know I miss Bobby Cox giving them hell. I miss the nineties.
Yesterday's wOBA and xwOBA allowed: .271 / .302 (Season rank: 15th | 12th). Record when outhomering: 9-3 (League: 300-89).
