Series Thread... Aug 26th to 29th Blue Jays @ Red Sox... Go Jays Go!

[glory]

Keeping the lineup the same and just replacing players is fine but pretending it’s June from a statistical standpoint is ridiculous.

Wat... no way?

 

Yeah, according to tye rules, if a hitter is replaced mid PA and a the substitute gets on base...it counts for the first guy.

 

But if the sub hitter gets out, it counts against the sub

I don't think that is true at all, I think you have it backwards. If a player is replaced with 2 strikes against them, and the substitute player then proceeds to strike out, then the replaced player is charged for a strikeout. The same is true I think of a pitcher replaced mid-AB if they got the hitter to a 3 ball count, if the substitute pitchers completes the walk it is charged against the original pitcher who was taken out.

 

It would be completely illogical to award hits to a substituted player who was taken out mid-AB. If there's one thing baseball never does, it's try to assume that a hit is the likely outcome from a plate appearance.

No, the only time a stat falls on the player that was replaced is in a 2 strike count and the batter strikes out, that's it.

Correct.

[Spanky99]

Nice pretty turn.

[Spanky99]

Springer Dinger!

[Terminator]

This team looks incredible

[Spanky99]

Jays busting their ass.

[Jonn]

This team all of a sudden looks fun.

 

Bunting not fun though. If this dude has to bunt why is he starting.

Checked the rulebook to clarify:

 

When a batter leaves the game with two strikes against him, and the substitute batter completes a strikeout, the Official Scorer shall charge the strikeout and the time at bat to the first batter. If the substitute batter completes the turn at bat in any other manner, including a base on balls, the Official Scorer shall score the action as having been that of the substitute batter.

 

So basically of its a 2 strike count and the su stature batter strikes out...it's charged to the original hitter. If anything else happens, it goes to the sub. Rule 9.15(

 

I take the L

[Masterbather]

Are we officially going for our fifth win in a row or sixth in a row?

[John_Havok]

5th. The 1st game technically counts as a June game.

[Spanky99]

5th. The 1st game technically counts as a June game.

 

Ghey... 6 in a row.

[Jonn]

Berroa with the luckiest base hit alive keeping his faint MLB dream alive.

[Grant77]

3 games back of Boston if we win this. I'll consider this season a success if they come in last place where they belong.

[jaysblue]

This team looks incredible

 

Playoffs will be easy to make!

[Spanky99]

Oof... Berrios was cruisin' too, always the long ball.

[Omar]

Heads up baserunning Vladdy!

[Jonn]

Kirk is so f***ing slow. Literally robbed Barger of a hit.

[HomeRunHomer]

Lol Dude made a diving play, had trouble getting the ball out of his glove and still had plenty of time to get Kirk out.

[Abomination]

Man, this Boston defense is something else.

[Omar]

Someone cue the Benny Hill theme for this Bosox fielding.

[HomeRunHomer]

Boston just can't seem to handle the ball.

[hanton]

lol Boston is trash, they were coming on there for a while but now they look so lost

[Jonn]

Red Sox playoff chances imploding is highly entertaining.

 

Ending this series with them being .500 would be so f***ing satisfying.

[John_Havok]

Man, this Boston defense is something else.

 

Kinda makes ya think the Jays better not completely turf defense next season, or this could be them next August

[Masterbather]

Man, this Boston defense is something else.

I'd say it's an....abomination.

[John_Havok]

I'd say it's an....abomination.

 

And if the Jays kick Boston in the nuts this series grant will be Masterbathing for a month
