8/14/24	Pirates Infielder Blasted By Fans After Lamest Hit-By-Pitch of MLB Season. Getting on base has always been a difficult thing to do at the major league level and it seems to have only gotten even harder in recent years thanks to so many pitchers throwing so many ridiculous high-speed pitches with tons of movement.

But that's not what happened Tuesday night when Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa got on base after being hit by a pitch, as fans on social media crushed him for the way he got it done. Kiner-Falefa seemed to lean his left elbow in at the last moment and barely had his elbow protector get touched by the ball.

7/21/24	The Blue Jays' handoff from Bo Bichette to rookie Leo Jimenez at shortstop has been surprisingly smooth. Here's why.
