NikoBaltimore Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) I almost forgot how sweet it is to see them doing well lately. I loved them when they sucked and there's always a chance things go downhill. But as of now it just feels so, so great.

A balk-off, if you will. Short of dudes falling down or whatever, that's actually one of the more obvious balks I've seen in awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dudes falling down is the only time I can spot a balk haha I see pitchers do shit and I think HOW IS THAT NOT A BALK then another time a pitcher flinches and its a balk. Every time Jansen throws a pitch I dunno how he isn't balking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time Jansen throws a pitch I dunno how he isn't balking. Well, in this case, he moved his glove around in a motion that looks a lot like starting a pitch - and then stopped. Totally a balk. The one that kills me that they never call is basically every lefty's pickoff move. They call it correctly if the foot crosses over the rubber but then ignore the whole "have to step toward 1st to throw there" thing so you get dudes basically stepping directly toward home and still throwing over.

Death From Above Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 I gave up trying to understand what a balk is years ago and I've been much happier for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted July 10, 2022 Author Share Posted July 10, 2022 The Mariners optioned George Kirby to AAA They say it is to help with his workload because between off days and the ASB - Kirby wasn't scheduled to start again until the last week of July However - they are some (many???) that believe there is some service time manipulation afoot as if he spends two weeks in AAA, he will be right on the border of missing Super 2 status He also would lock that up if he finishes in the Top 2 of AL Rookie of the Year voting so obviously not playing in the bigs can factor into that voting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Service Time Manipulation is often pretty open and casual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onelegbrynn Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Full All-Star rosters have been released.

Cobra Commander Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Apparently the Royals trading guys who had a few good weeks pre-trade is gonna lead the guy becoming a star again. Soler last year in Atlanta and Carlos Santana so far in Seattle. Meanwhile, we'll know tomorrow morning or afternoon if the Whit Merrifield consecutive games streak ends because of Big Toe Discomfort that caused him to leave today's game.

Cobra Commander Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Yep, Whit banged the hell out of his toe meanwhile the Royals are in Toronto on Thursday so guess I’ll find out which guys could have kept them under 85% vaccinated last year.
