MLB 2021 season: Corn-Driven Humidity

You’ve got a bad ump on the field blowing a call. So what do you do? Call up Joe West and tell him “put your glasses on and squint into the TV” and he’s probably gonna blow it too even when he gets to see it slow mo ten times over again.

Umps just blew an obvious home run in the Reds/Dbacks game, ball bounced off a chair back onto the field and they called it a double, replay ump then confirmed it.


I can not link to the Red's game NOW. I AM SO PISSED. :brickwall:
 
Do you remember Randy Jones? He never did it but he came close a time or two IIRC.

He was a pretty cool guy to watch looking back on old archival games. He did wind up putting together a Cy Young season, though, which is remarkable for a sinkerballer who really didn't do much of anything else. Then again, this was the time when pitcher wins were still regarded as the ultimate metric of a pitcher's performance.

Wait...what?! Whyever for?!

I honestly don't know, but that's what Rule 5.12(a)(15) has said since pretty much the dawn of time. The only exception to that rule is if the person identified as the DH is also working as the team's bullpen catcher for that day.
 
Dear Sweet Baby Jesus,

Please let Ohtani stay healthy this season.

If you grant me this wish, I will build several churches in your honor.

Your pal,

This is one of those times I wish I could drive or that it were safe for me to travel by airplane; I have severe doubts about his ability to stick as a two-way plater for longer than maybe three years, maaaaaaybe four, because God damn, he's exciting to watch and I'd love to see him play in-person, but those restrictions mean it's pretty damn difficult to travel.

At least I have Internet highlights. :lol:

He’s something else.

The last Angels game I went to was against the Dodgers in 2018. Ohtani came in off the bench with a pinch hit home run to win the game.

I love that guy!
 
Congrats to Musgrove and the Padres for the No Hitter. It's even more special that it was the San Diego kid who did it.

Cueto looked awesome yesterday and credit to Kapler for giving him a chance to end it. It was a great opening day in San Francisco.
 
What is the latest Hot Stove league shit?

We're only ten days into the season, it's a little early for the trade market to be heading up. ;)

I mean, uh, in news that should surprise no one, the Mets once again failed to provide Jacob deGrom with any run support? He gave up one run over eight innings, yet still ate a loss. Also, fun fact: deGrom has allowed 1 or 0 runs in 87 of his career starts. His career record is 70-51.

That should tell you everything to need to know that pitcher wins and losses are a complete horseshit statistic and essentially worthless to evaluate a pitcher's value.

Thank's for something i did not know. :whistle:
 
Reds to honor late Hall of Famer Morgan with patch on uniforms :)
