  1. I wonder if Uber Eats can get me a McRib. night shift is tough work.
  2. he almost chased the first one. but it didn't matter.
  3. just seeing if he would chase. a wild pitch means you walk him anyway.
  4. this dude is gonna hang one.
  5. somebody needs to do a recap of the organist's playlist after this.
  6. He has officially gone longer than the starter
  7. the Jays have no position players to pitch unless they burn the backup catcher.
  8. this is interesting, when you mainly have relievers that only go 1 inning. there ain't no goose or fingers to go out there and get you 3 or 4 innings if they have to.
  9. stopped serving beer in the 8th
  10. The question is if Ohtani is gonna take second anyway and you aren't throwing down. then you have to walk Betts to set up the force anyway.
  11. yep. can walk him and give up one, knowing they have last ups or groove one and maybe give up 3 or 4.
  12. I kinda wanna see the Jays take this with Ohtani pitching the next game. just amp the tension to 11.
  13. Sandy Fin Koufax.
  14. crazy tension here
  15. I bet if he slides he's out.
  16. but none of that wording says anything about what happens if a catcher is blocking the plate with the ball.
  17. Smoltz asked "if the runner then would be able to run over the catcher" and the booth ump said yes, at that point he can "collide"(not glide) with the catcher. booth ump answer seems to imply you don't have to slide.
  18. probably a bigger gut punch for the Jays with Ohtani going tomorrow.
  19. the booth ump said as long as the runner doesn't deviate from the direct path he didn't have to slide. the wording in the rule book would be interesting to read.
  20. that's not what the booth ump said to Smoltz.
  21. I know that but the booth ump guy said that if he does you can run over his ass pete rose/ray fosse style. my question is how far does the front foot need to move to be consdered "blocking the plate"? to be clear, I think it will likely never happen because guys have now been conditioned to slide or give up. NGL though I would love to see an old school bang bang home plate collision to decide a game...and I played catcher.
  22. apparently I was wrong on that. the problem is you aren't going to know in time unless you are so far up the line that you can actually decide not to slide and you know the catcher is going to block the plate. my question is if the catcher moves his foot from the front corner towards the back of the plate a few inches can you just nail him for that? how far is allowed to be considered still "giving the runner a lane"
  23. you can't, you will be called out.
  24. now that was stupid with Vlad Jr on deck.
