BBTV Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Don't want to see a guy get hurt like this, but knowing the Braves, they'll call some guy up that'll actually end up being as good or better. Normally I'd think this helps the other teams in the NL East, but I think the Braves are pretty much bulletproof (until October.) 1 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

FrutigerAero Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 The Royals have been surprisingly good so far. It can always change, but good to see the team playing well so far. Salvador Perez is playing well again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrayJ12 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I didn't even realize he was 85 years old. I thought he would have been in his late-60s or early-70s. Time is an interesting thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 From 9:41 - Can someone explain to me why this is called a balk? Apparently the pitcher has to declare how he's going to pitch ahead of time with each batter? Is that what they are saying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 TF is with this? He was out by a full foot.

Sec19Row53 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 17 hours ago, BBTV said: TF is with this? He was out by a full foot. The knee didn't even come into play. Yeah, but he didn't have a path to the bag. You're completely right -- just like how Dez Bryant didn't catch it at Lambeau. Quote It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 16 hours ago, BBTV said: TF is with this? He was out by a full foot. The knee didn't even come into play. The hell it didn't. That picture is deliberately deceiving. He wasn't "out by a full foot" because Sosa missed the tag. Sorry, but it was the correct call. Here's a picture of Sosa missing the tag and De La Cruz's hand running into his knee. From the other angle you can see De La Cruz's hand touch the base under Sosa's knee before the tag anyway. He was safe with or without the obstruction call. But this play is exactly why the rule exists. The batter went on to strike out and the following batter grounded out to first for the last out of the inning so De La Cruz didn't even score from third anyway. I officially declare this grievance from Philadelphia Stupid. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I’m not sure there’s a person on these boards that takes even the slightest reference to his teams as personally as you do. My gods, anyone even quips about the bengals or shows a picture that was about a rule and not a Red, and the guns come out. 1 1 1 1 1 1 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

My gods, anyone even quips about the bengals or shows a picture that was about a rule and not a Red, and the guns come out. Wasn't personal until this. The only thing this has to do with the Reds is because I happened to watch the moment in question live and knew the tweet was misleading and wrong. Happy to dump on umpires whenever they deserve it, but that wasn't it.

Ain’t karma a :censored:? Ironically, O'Hoppe was a top prospect from the Phillies system that was being held on to be part of a potential package for Trout, before they panicked and swapped him for Brandon Marsh (which turned out to be a win/win.) Assuming the Sixers get beat tonight, Mike Trout is the Joel Embiid of baseball. Among the greatest talents of all time, incredible numbers, no playoff success* and ultimately too injured to make a lasting impact on their sports. *Embiid at least has playoff appearances, and stats that are amazing, but the team has accomplished nothing... just like Trout.

Sec19Row53 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Hey all you Canuckleheads - Rob Black's son Tyler was called up to Milwaukee today, and inserted in the lineup in the first after an injury to Gary Sanchez. Rod is at the game, and was just getting interviewed by Brewer field announcer Sophia Minnaert . They gave him play-by-play for his second at bat (the first was a double), and Rod got to call a two-strike single. ETA - linky below 1 Quote It's where I sit.
