That has to be devastating for him. Sitting on a tidy 2.82 ERA and probably feeling good about his season, then 15 minutes later his season ERA is 4.18.

Anyone else loving Schil on the broadcast? He's saying a lot of sensible things.

 

I do. So refreshing to listen to someone like him instead of Buck and Pat. It also reminds me of playoff baseball, which is the best time of year.

How about that, the Reds got f***ed over hard. Neither runner advanced a base, so Peralta and Lamb should've been out at 2nd and 3rd on appeal for not touching the base and the inning over with no run, instead, they let it stand and Arizona won. Damn.

 

Runner scored before they stepped on the bag and the hitter touched first. Noting to see here.

If I'm not mistaken, there is a precedence for that situation which says they are out for not touching base.

Ummm, the runner touching home before Cincinnati stepped on 2nd and 3rd means nothing. The batter touching first beforehand also means nothing. C'mon man... the plays at 2nd and 3rd are force outs. That's the same as argueing that a runner on 3rd advancing and touching home on a traditional 6-4-3 inning ending DP is safe because he touched home before the defense completed the DP. :S :S

 

The only part that makes this situation a bit murky for me is the fact that a grounds crew member picks up the ball and throws it in to Brandon Phillips, I'm assuming this makes the play an automatic ground rule double and all runners advance 2 bases. If it wasn't for this, the Reds 100% got stiffed.

 

Edit: If the Official ruling was that it was a ground rule double, then the final score should reflect that and read 6-4 Diamond Backs. Because the final score is listed as 5-4, I have no idea what MLB's official ruling was. Probably just didn't give enough f***s since it was Arizona vs Cincy.

Another issue is that they stepped on second before they stepped on third, removing the force at third base.

 

Also, lol@that happening to the truest baseball team in the league.

Exactly. If the Reds actually field that ball, throw to 3rd, then throw to 2nd - that's a double play - inning over. Phillips is smart enough to go get the ball, but not smart enough to know the sequence.

Everyone bashing power rankings, I know they mean nothing technically, but it's really interesting to see how US media decides to rank us. That's why I like them. It's a measure of respect more than actual useful information.

 

Edit: Not to mention the comment threads on some of them provide some really good entertainment for an office worker like me trying to kill time throughout the day

Bautista's strike zone judgement is better than the umps lol

 

It's true and he doesn't even have an ideal perspective

How can that be when the umps decide the strike zone

Well the strike zone is already well-defined, the umps just f*** it up.

I also didn't realize how poorly Doug Fister has done this year with a career low GB % rate. I wonder if he'll do a 1 year contract in the offseason to rebuild value.

Giants whole infield (Posey, Belt, Panik, Crawford, Duffy) are all over 3.0 WAR, within top 35 position players. Pretty incredible.

 

funny how the year they finally have some good offense, their pitching betrays them.

Buxton to AAA instead of the big league club. WTF are the Twins doing?? They need a spark.. sending Byron to AAA will not help. And you wonder why they've sunk back to the AL Central basement where they belong..

And yet because the Dodgers can't seem to have consistency outside of Kershaw and Grienke, the Giants are still only 3 out.

They are the f***ing same person, except one has no talent whatsoever.

I thought the Giants may miss Sandoval this year but nope, Duffy's year is better than any of Panda's final 3 with the Giants.

Also, for some LOLs: Pablo Sandoval, 86 wRC+, -1.2 WAR, 5 years - 95 Million
