This makes Angel Hernandez look competent by comparison:

    This throw deserves the MLB thread.   

  • So in 2009, my daughter and I were in Omaha at the CWS.  I got an email from her softball coach saying that they had a kid drop off the All-Star team and would she want to replace her?  But she'd have

Hernandez called the Dodger game last night and called Turner out on a 3rd strike about a foot outside.  But man, that is nutz.

Looks like the Dodgers are going to avoid a sweep to The Big Red Machine.

Yo leave Marty alone his glasses were fogged up from wearing his mask with them

Foster said contact isn't needed to call obstruction, just the runner being forced to take a slightly different path to the bag.


"A player without a ball, without making a play on a ball, is standing in the basepath of the runner, impeding and hindering him," Foster told a pool reporter. "And [Diaz] actually makes a jog to the right to get out of his way, to get out of Godley's way. That's clear-cut obstruction. It doesn't have to be contact. It just has to be hinder or obstruct, and that's what happened."

This might make sense if:

1.  The runner weren't required to run in the lane in foul territory to first.

AND

2.  The pitcher had ever actually stepped off the grass in making the play.

His next pitch nailed Didi in the ribs, then Girardi got himself tossed, then his third pitch of the inning/game bounced about 15 feet short, and McCutcheon eventually blooped a single to give Philly the lead.

Funniest part about that is Freeman was 4 for 5 on the night with a double and HR. Rizzo's K was the only out cubs pitching managed to get on Freeman.

Mays?

20 triples is a shit ton.  That's probably more rare than 50 homers, at least in the last 80-90 years or so.

Would never have guessed he would have had the triples.

Spoiler

 

 

baseball reference made this one pretty easy.

single season triples leaders, there aren't many power hitters.

Much easier to hit triples back then.

Gehrig had 163 career triples, tied for 33rd all-time.

What would you do with the winning run on 3B, 1 out, and the opponent’s leading hitter AB (a LH hitter against a RHP) with a RH hitter waiting on deck?  Would you intentionally BB to set up a possible inning ending DP?

Aaron Boone wouldn’t and Cedric Mullins had a game winning F-8 SF for a walk off Orioles win over NYY 4-3 in 10.

cut boone some slack.  his best hitter is odor.

His decision had some odor to it, too ...

But, NYY was on defense, not hitting.  However, since you bring it up .. Boone had a hitter K via 2-strike bunt foul trying to move up the extra inning lead off runner from 2B.

Jim Palmer was basically laughing at that decision as soon as  it became clear they weren't going to walk him.

Maybe Boone is suffering from PTSD after he screwed up the replay request the other night ... just more potential crap he’ll probably get from the front office.  He’s lucky George isn’t there to look over his shoulder ...

The Aristocrats! 

Think the last time I saw such ineptitude like that on the field, the team had Chico's Bail Bonds as a team sponsor.  

^^^^^^

That's the newest star of my fantasy team, so he'll regress to the mean very soon.

 

Also holy shit, I had no idea Trevor Cahill is still in the league.

May is throwing absolute gas right now against MIL. KK ground-out to get out of the first in 11 pitches. 

Welp. Urias just homered off him. So much for that.

Lynn finished 5th in Cy Young voting in 2019, behind Verlander, Cole, Bieber, and Morton.

He knew what this was.

Kershaw pinch hitting with the bases loaded because the Dodgers are out of position players.  Must be the 16th inning right?  OK, the 12th?  Nope, the 10th.

Teams carry too damn many pitchers now.
