    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

Price relieved Bauer, combined salary of $58 million this year.  I presume that has to be a record?

I don’t know if it needs to be on opening day but I do agree every baseball fan needs to read the story of Rube Waddell.

absolutely insane

The only thing more suspect than that was the third out of that inning.

And double switched to do it because Snell was due to lead off the next inning.  Maybe it wasn't the Rays and he asks to be treated with kid gloves?

LaRussa just intentionally walked Pujols as the go ahead run.  He then brought Hendricks in for the 4 out save and he got the last out in the 8th.

Damn, Ohtani just crushed one.  106/29/421

Steve Cishek getting up 0-2 on Billy Hamilton (legit might be the worst hitter in MLB), only to end up walking him was just ridiculous. ended up blowing the game wide open too.

That Dodgers/Rockies play is something I’ve never seen. Bellinger hits a HR but base runner Turner thought it was caught. Bellinger in his home run trot, passes a retreating Turner and is called out. Turner gets to score. 

Came across this on another site, a list of runners out for passing another runner

https://retrosheet.org/passing.htm

 

Here's the Soto play:

And here's Jose Abreu.  There was no confusion about this one, Abreu just was watching the ball and not the runner.

 

I went to law school, but don't practice law.  But I can't conceive of a world where I would describe the new Georgia election laws as "Mundane."  MLB may have overcorrected, maybe Jim Crow 2.0 is hyperbolic, but Mundane?  That's insulting.

There is thread discussing this in Cloak Room. Y’all take this discussion there

Is that the second base umpire, who's responsible for the call, still on the infield side of second base?

There was a reason he was called "Rube."  A lot of reasons, actually.

LaRussa still relying on his 2011 scouting book.

First hand observation managing him more likely

Looks like it.  The retrosheet writeup says the 3rd base ump ruled it safe and in play right away.  I'm not sure why the rotation would be for the 3rd base ump to go out on a ball in center but I guess it was.

The only thing I can figure is that they both managed to misjudge where the ball was going?   Except the 2B ump should be heading out there right away regardless and the 1B ump should be covering second.

Thought you were pre-med? 

Castellanos just started a bench-clearer, then immediately regretted it.

Watched the condensed game on mlb.tv
This kid was something, eh?
 
He is now 7 for 7 with a homer so far

First HR of the year for the Dodgers (not so fast Bellinger) and also the first Dodger to have an inside the parker as his first career HR since Duke Snider.

Bonus Kershaw nose pick if you watch until the end.

I flipped over to watch his next AB and he flied out to center.

Zach Wheeler had a day yesterday.  7 IP 1 H 0 R 0 ER 0 BB 10 K.  He also went 2 for 3 with a double, 2 RBIs, and 1 run scored.  f the DH.

Shohei hitting 2-hole while on the bump tonight. 

Sweet, he also DH'd yesterday.  The original plan where they gave him the day off the day before and day after pitching and didn't let him hit while pitching was weak.

Shohei hits 101 in the 1st

Alex, he was hurt before the bag, bro. 
Yeah he is a fucking tool. Obvious pull up like 3 steps prior to the bag

Holy shit, just crushed the 1st pitch he saw
