« on: May 18, 2019, 06:25:45 pm »
Springer with a leadoff triple, Bregman walks, Brantleywith an RBI double. 1-0, Astros at 2B and 3B, nobody out...

Springer is in such a groove. So is Bregman, and Brantley.
Everyone's talking, few of them know

And if there's a message I guess this is it

Seems like Joe West might want to look at that Betts play the next time he assumes a player will make a leaping grab.

Or the Springer triple for that matter.

That was strike 3 to Moreland.

All year,  every game,  that's been a strike.

The 3-2 pitch to Moreland should have been enticing enough to elicit a swing or a strike three call.

A foul tip is caught by the catcher. The ball didn't hit the bat.

He had some pitches that weren't close.

But it's tough to ask a young pitcher to get 5 outs in an inning without giving something up.

Yes, thank you for your precision. My comment was meant to indicate I thought that the ball barely hit the bat which caused it to change planes and for stassi to miss it. The video seemed inconclusive.

Bregman advanced one base on a single.  Technically that's not an error because that's the reasonable expectation.  But it should have been an out.

Sox first hit is a 2-out RBI double after a 4-pitch walk

I first visited in the 90s and then went again in 2012 or so, although I spent a lot of time in Boston in between. The vibe was different the first time because the area hadn’t developed into wrigleyville light yet, but I love an old stadium situated right in the middle of town and the history. I’ve spent a lot of time in New England, and agree the fans were great.

New Yankee or old Yankee? Seats are so expensive at New Yankee that it has priced out many of the characters, but the bleachers in the old days were a little edgy, and I liked it.

If Cora had challenged, this game would be 6-4. Agree that was a bad tag but a great throw by Brantley.

That's when I went.

I was at the game where Arod hit a homer that bounced off a staircase back into the field of play.

Umps missed it,  ruled it a double.

He basically deep sighed on a pick off throw over to first earlier in the game.

I would loathe him if not for a comment I heard him make in an interview when he admitted he only has his job because of his dad, so at least he doesn’t totally lack self awareness.

He already got up once (in the first).

Rules question.

So, on Correa’s dribbler up the line his bat flew out there just as far as the ball and came to rest near the foul line. What is the rule if the ball had started to roll foul but hit the bat and stayed fair??

If the umpire judges it unintentional, it's a live ball.  If he intentionally throws the bat and it hits a fair ball, batter is out, ball is dead and no runner advance.
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

No idea, but that reminds me of this goofy article investigating whether hitters strategically drop their bats to get in the way of throws to the plate.

His second AB tonight with the bases loaded.
