This still counts as a successful pickoff attempt, right?

Well he did lose a ball in the sun later that led to a run... so... it worked?

Surprisingly that beer didn't hurt Sizemore enough to put him out for half a season.

Time of game is down 8 minutes compared to last year.
Small sample size right? Well, games in the first week of the season last year, were 4 seconds longer than those at the end of the year on average. Down from 3:02 to 2:54

I wouldn't think they would allow him to stay in and finish it.

At what point is the training staff looked closely at here? Or the scouting evaluations are changed to more seriously consider injury history? Very odd injury bug that continues to plague the Rangers.

27 guys x 3 strikes + one walk on a 3-2 pitch + half a foul per at bat = 101 pitches. Probably too many. So let's back out that walked batter and go right to the perfecto. 95 pitches should be okay. Bring it on! Last edited by Logan : 04-14-2015 at 11:03 AM. |

That might explain the pitcher injuries, but there have been a ton of position players as well. We'll have to see what the Astros look like in a couple of years to see if this holds water.

Royals finally get a loss. Rios out for a few weeks after fracturing his hand when being hit by a pitch. Too bad, as he was off to a good start. Thankfully, we do have some good depth right now. Whether it's Orlando or Dyson, the speed in the outfield just increased if that's possible.

Phillies starter hits 2 mets in one inning trying to pitch inside , including Cuddyer in the hand forcing him out of the game. Can't wait to see how Harvey responds. My guess is Utley gets it.

Question-
Lets say a player is hit by a pitch and a warning is issued to both benches. The play is challenged and over turned and the player wasn't hit (lets say it just grazed the uniform), does the warning still stand? |

Grazing the uniform still counts as a hit by pitch.

TV screens all over the restaurant tonight so I probably saw a months worth of baseball in a single meal.
Anyway though, the guy Harvey "hit" ... how in the world does that call stand after watching the replay? The ball touched nothing ... over & over & over. So how do you f' that call up? (on replay, real time I can understand)

For God sakes, stop putting Gregg in games!
This is at least the third time he's given up two runs.

Wow. Nolan Arenado just made a catch on a foul ball where I've never seen a third baseman get to at AT&T Park.

I believe that Yakety Sax should be played whenever the Nationals are in the field.

Curious how Cards fans, and other fans, feel about them honoring Taveras opening day and wearing the patch?
IMO it is a disgrace to honor someone who drove intoxicated and took someones life in the process. Last edited by Lathum : 04-15-2015 at 08:28 AM. |

As someone who lost a girlfriend to a drunk driver. +100. It's abhorrent. I get that he was a massive prospect and a potential star down the road. It shouldn't matter. There should be no cause to celebrate a man who made the very immature and irresponsible decision to get behind the wheel of a vehicle drunk. I don't consider his girlfriend to be completely innocent either. She also made the decision to let him drive and to get into the vehicle with him. I have no sympathy for drunk drivers.

I'm guessing a part of it is that he was still a friend and teammate of the current players, and his death, even if it was his own doing, surely impacts them. Maybe best way was to remember him and his girlfriend before the first game and then move on. The year long patch is unnecessary and a bit too much of a tribute.
But I'm not a Cards fan. |
