do Lawrie derosa and rasmus create a good BA if you add all of them together?

AA should get fired for JPA alone. And Gibbons should get fired for putting that sack of s*** into the 5th spot.

You've got a point. Screw Cuba.

Why is it that Dominicans only seem to care about winning when it's the WBC? "MLB? meh...just my day job."

Ashby got fired from the Astros organization a few years back for being too outspoken and critical of the team when they played poorly or made a mistake. Hayhurst and the Jays share the same employer, and I wonder what would happen if the Jays started complaining the the mother ship about Hayhurst's oustpoken ways ("the jays ruined Romero"). Hayrhurst is certainly not a company man.

I'm a big fan of Hayhurst. His honesty is refreshing, and he actually brings some knowledge to the process. Hopefully he doesn't get Ashby'd by the Jays via Rogers corporate.

That would have created an ugly situation for the MLB...a trainer should ALWAYS put the health of the player above the "product on the field." I think the trainers should have run out onto the field in the middle of the play. The umps aren't medical professionals, and aren't trained to assess the severity of the injury. Can you imagine the controversy if Happ had been hurt, or if there was punitive action taken against a team because the trainer was trying to intervene in a potentially life threatening play? I agree: play called dead, everyone advances a base, the batter takes 1st, and it's not considered an AB. Perhaps MLB is already working on this.

One of the more disturbing aspects of the Happ injury is the length of time the play continued after he was hit. Two runs scored, and Jennings ended up on third, while a pitcher may have been in serious distress. The umps basically didn't know what to do. I think MLB should instruct the umps to call play dead immediately upon ball-head contact with the pitcher. A few seconds could be very important if the ball has connected with the windpipe or something critical. I thought it was brutal how that went down.
