javy is so overrated. he clearly didn't understand the rule himself. yet because of another's persons unbelievable stupidity people cant stop talking about Javys "instincts".
Just give me a call when the White Sox have a World Series ring like Javi does.
2005 you dope. and 2016, that was the luckiest world series win youll ever see. the indians missing starters 2-4. the "rainout" lol...
No such thing as luck bro. An interesting sequence of events for sure but not luck.
No such thing as luck? If someone wins the lottery what do you call that? Are you a everything happens for a reason guy?

Couple things..overrated/underated is a pretty relative term. I don't think Baez gets the credit for what he does actually. But, whatever.
2nd thing..Baez knew exactly what he was doing. 2 choices..take the automatic out if 1B just steps on the base or, what he did, let that 1B chase him back to the plate and give his teammate a chance at scoring. He knew exactly what he was doing and it worked.
No matter who you root for you should give an instinctive/baseball-smart player like Baez credit for exploiting a terrible defense like he did. Most players would have just taken the easy out..some might even call that lazy. Baez is far from lazy.

Except that doesn’t give his teammate a chance to score if the guy playing first base understands the game and rules. I digress

I know its tough being a pirate fan but what an obtuse statement. Everytime you guys have good players you trade em away and get ripped.
Being a small market and trading away good players puts you at a huge disadvantage

I don't get why people can't just appreciate the craziness and uniqueness of the play. Baez had two choices:
- Keep going to first base, get tagged out. Inning over, or
- Tip-toe back towards the plate and see what happens.
Should it have worked? No. But it did. Enjoy the absurdity.

Exactly. Baez is not the second coming of Barry Larkin, but he's a pretty exciting player and fun to watch.

Good point. Although it would be a great opportunity for the designers to open up another loop hole for zany impossible animation in order to control an outcome. It happened once in real life, but I could see it turning into another bunt cheese effect in this game.

I think they should still make a Moment. But it will be vanilla: Put Contreras at second. The goal will be to get home in the AB.

White Sox fans are salty because no one outside their relatively small fan base cared when they won in 2005, yet the Cubs have fans throughout the entire country (thanks to WGN). The Cubs have about as many fans in the seats now as the White Sox did on a normal day pre-Covid. The only time the White Sox can fill their stadium is when they play the Cubs. Also the White Sox stadium is in a slum and named "Guaranteed Rate Field" while the Cubs have Wrigley Field where Ruth historically pointed (arguably) to center field. Sox fans have a chip on their collective shoulder because they know that in Chicago they are the "2nd team" regardless of which team is better in any given year. All this has caused jealous rage among White Sox fans. You guys should just enjoy your team and stop hating on the Cubs. I mean the Pirates make the dumbest play in MLB history and somehow it's Baez that gets a negative reaction? You guys are true to form.
I literally have friends and family who are White Sox "fans" that would much rather the Cubs lose then the White Sox win. Now that is salty.

You admit it’s the dumbest play in history on the pirates part? How then is it about javy and his amazing instincts? It’s not. Everything this guy does gets blown way out of proportion and I hear about it on the radio every single day. It gets old.
There’s some truth to the rest of it. Sounds like maybe you’ve never been to the “rate”. And maybe you have some built up resentment as well lol

I said nothing about it being Javy's instincts. You are on here arguing a point that means nothing. Why do you care if people like Javy? What drives your hatred for the Cubs? Is no one paying the Sox any attention again? I would feel bad for Sox fans in Chicago if they did not hate on the Cubs. The Sox do get less attention no matter how good they are. But I don't because you take that fact out on the Cubs and their fans. The White Sox have a decent team this year, talk about that and stop worrying about Javy and any positive comments that he gets. You will be much happier with baseball.

I have been to many White Sox games (pre-covid). I love baseball in general and like many of the White Sox players. Since I live south of Chicago it is easier for me to get to a Sox game. When I was very young they had lights and the Cubs didn't so I probably went to more White Sox games than Cubs games.

All that said, I do understand how it could get old hearing about the Cubs constantly as a White Sox fan. I think it has much to do with Cubs games being televised for so long on WGN and people being able to watch the Cubs more for a long long time. There was a time when the White Sox were on a UHF channel and many people could not receive their games due to the weak TV signal. Then Cable came along and WGN was broadcast nationally and the White Sox were not on there yet. People naturally watched the Cubs since they were on TV every single day in every market in America.
