  1. I think he actually stepped further towards first than Ryu did. They could really solve this issue with a simple solution too. Draw a line at 45 degrees between the rubber and the plate. If the guys footdoesn’t land on the side of the line towards first, or right on the line, balk.
  2. Well you were half right. Once the lead foot crosses his back leg there’s only 2 places he can go...home, or to 2b if there’s a runner there.
  3. OMFG Vlad hit a fly ball!!!!!
  4. Not correct, his lead foot can’t cross the rubber and he has to clearly step towards first. He can’t step towards home and throw to first. His foot landed maybe a foot off line from home
  5. Except we need to do some photoshop, replace Acuna with an ice cream machine, and change the ball in Vlads hand to a 50$ bill.
  6. Wow, that was so close to a balk....if that is what’s considered a clear step to first, runners have no chance
  7. Lol, why can none of our Starters throw strikes ffs? Lolololol
  8. Good thing we have options like long-time defensive 3B stalwart Joe Panik for Montoyo to put at the hot corner. His immense experience at 3rd is such a pleasure to watch.
  9. Of course. Why stick around to clean up a disaster that he made? Much better to take over a new team where all the hard work was done already.
  10. Ho hum, another day, another jays pitcher who cant throw strikes
  11. Was it a short?
  12. Damn, don’t see Biggio chase that stuff very often.
  13. Looks like he’s just late. Needs a better timing mechnaism
  14. Oh Alford....3 straight meatballs swung through...lol
  15. Why you checking out the ump’s zone?
  16. I’m still trying to figure out why, in these early innings, when a guy throws 96mph heat that he’s chucking changeups early in the count when the Rays are clearly uninterested in swinging at the first one
  17. His curve is still a work in progress. Hatch himself only grades it as below average at the moment
  18. Jays pitch sequencing right now is driving me crazy....all these hitters getting balls 1 and 2 gifts because our guys insist on throwing first pitch sliders and changeups and end up out of the zone. The Rays know this and just spit on these first offerings.
  19. It’s not a big deal, it’s for this season only and makes total sense given the 60 game crapshoot schedule to try and recover some revenue. It’s not like this will be in place very year
  20. He was a junior, could have easily went back to school and went #1 again next year to some other team willing to give him the full slot. You don’t dick around the kind of talent that breaks Barry Bonds college records and would have set the all time College HR record if not for COVID. Why quibble over a few hundred grand when next year the slot is likely going to be even higher
  21. But in that week, he gets one start. Is that one start worth not getting 30ish starts down the road based on a possible catastrophic injury that may happen in between?
  22. 100$ - Padres under 100$ - White Sox under 100$ - Angels under 100$ - Reds over 100$ - Mets over Kinda rude to post the Orioles line for 162 game season in a 60 game format though. I’d still probably take the under
  23. Billionaires arguing with millionaires over money paid to them by people making less in their lifetimes Than they do in one season, or in some cases a few weeks. The whole process is so out of touch that both sides need to pull their heads out of their asses, or nobody will be watching at all when they come back.
  24. We were talking about command pitchers being not what you want to target in the draft, and someone said something about Halladay being a command pitcher. We discussed this briefly about how Roy would sit 92-93 but could get to 95 whenever he needed to with ease. Then Alan said something about Roy really knowing what he was good at, and I said “ Flying a plane?”
