I wonder why Diaz isn't in the lineup. I would have thought that Toro would have been sent down when he was activated. Maybe Straw needed the playing time.
That’s a bad strike 3 call but worse baserunning by SpringerSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
He was out either way.
Yordan must be guessing to take that strike 3.Caught a lot of plate.
WTF?
If you are talking about Reddick, he forced them to cut the ball to allow Chirinos to score.
Chirinos homers to left. 6-0.
Reddick doubles again.
Triples.
Why isn't that a triple?
It was. I was tending to one of the kids and mis-pbp'd.
Happy we're doing it, and all, but hard to watch Charlie get his ass kicked like that.
Leadoff single goes just under Bregman's glove. Next batter hits into a 4-6 FC (Bregman's throw to 1st is wide but bounces back to Yuli).F9, F7 end the inning.
Bregman cost JV some pitches.
Just recall over the past two seasons how often the Rays have kicked our ass.
I knew he eventually would hit one in the Crawford Boxes.
First of many
Yordan is so good.
The Berkman swing
He better start stealing bases if he wants a 30-30 season.
Jake to Center, Springer to right, Reddick to left.
Verlander gets a pop up then gives up a double. As the ball is being fielded he barks at the hpu, who then tosses him with the ball in play.[/quoteYeah, he was pissed about the pitch before the double not being strike three. He said one thing and walked away. Total bs.
We should hear from Mark in 3, 2 , 1 . . .
Not watching. Playing floorball.
My wife had this question earlier tonight, and I don't know the answer: what's the actual definition of one runner passing another? Can they leapfrog one another between the bases as long as they cross the next base (or home plate) in the proper order?
4-0 RR in the 6thMayfield 2 RBITucker 2 K
Mayfield has 25 homers. Tucker has 32.Good example of not trusting all those AAA stats.
Yordan Ks looking.
Springer walks. So candidates for ugliest play:E1E2Bases loaded 2 out walk trailing 13-0
Could be wrong as usual, but I believe the runner that passes the runner, even for a step or two, is out. No idea what happens to the trailing runner, as far as what base he is awarded.
Not for nothing, but that ball 4 was Pham's ball 3.
The ump show with a live ball was the ugliest play.
That's the way I've always thought about it, too. But if you adopt that point of view, you have to define some reference line that the trailing runner has to cross, much like for offsides in soccer. But in soccer there's a more-or-less obvious way to draw that line: it passes through the last defender's shoulder (I think) and, most importantly, it's parallel to the end line. What's the equivalent in baseball? Is the line a radial from home plate? Parallel to one of the base lines? It'll probably never come up outside of T-ball, but I'm curious.

Is this more or less cocksuckery than the ump (Jerry Meals?) who instigated the Cole shitshow?
Emmanuel in RR: 8 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 0 BB, 6 K4-0 Express in the 9th
And then AJ.
How many games left in their season?
Impressive performance. Wasn't his last outing considerably less impressive?
That's crazy... what if Verlander had to back up a base on that play? Would anything he did have counted? Seriously, what the fuck?
Sneed with a K and the save!RR wins 4-3.
That got dramatic.
If you want to manage in MLB it doesn't hurt to have played catcher for the Astros at some point.
CFM v. JV Hope the offense is there.
I actually had just gotten to a bar post floorball and had loaded the game on my phone just a few minutes before this happened.I said "What in the fuck?" loud enough that people on both sides or our table looked over at me uneasily.What a fucking dildo. Altuve punched out in the first on a pitch almost exactly that same distance off the plate, just a little higher. After some review this morning, dude's strike zone was terrible on and off the outside corner.
I'm gonna assume Tony Eusebio is managing somewhere in the Caribbean.
I'd like to think he's a hitting coach somewhere. That guy could roll out of bed, be sitting on the can with a beer in his hand and still put a pretty good swing on the ball.
