It is a Mariners/Marlins dual bobblehead doll. M's uni celebrates record season of 262 hits, Marlins uni celebrates 3000th MLB hit.
It is the dumbest bobblehead ever.
The Bobble Head's in general are a stupid craze if ya ask me lol. Now ya have the "counter" ones. Brewers are doing a Villar "stolen base counter" bobble head this year.

How can ya not cheer for a guy like this. He tied the Brewers record for consecutive games with a homer tonight with 5. Burnitz 20 years ago was the other. Man it does not feel like Burnitz was playing 20 years ago already (well he last played for the Crew 15 years ago but yeah that feels like it was just a few years ago)

I wish the Jays had taken a chance on Thames. He was a fun guy to cheer for in his first stint.

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/go ... -pitchers/
What do you think?
A relief pitcher10 records a goose egg for each inning in which:
It’s the seventh inning or later;
At the time the pitcher faces his first batter of the inning:
His team leads by no more than two runs, or
The score is tied, or
The tying run is on base or at bat
No runs (earned or unearned) are charged to the pitcher in the inning and no inherited runners score while the pitcher is in the game; and
The pitcher either:
Records three outs (one inning pitched), or
Records at least one out, and the number of outs recorded plus the number of inherited runners totals at least three.
Basically, a reliever pitches a scoreless, clutch inning.
It's one of my favorite things: a counting stat that actually tells you something about a player's value!

Was the provision that suspended players are ineligible for the postseason (even if the suspension ends before the end of the regular season) a new thing? I never remember reading about it before.

It was already in place last year, Dee Gordon was also ineligible for the post season last year.
