Cobra Commander Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 meanwhile the Royals won by scoring 11 runs in the 6th inning to erase a 11-2 deficit if not for the Orioles/Astros series, there'd be a bit of anxiety among Mariners fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Madison Bumgarner will not pitch again this year for the D-Backs. He isn't hurt. He just sucks and Arizona wants to use "younger starters" As a reminder - his contract still has two more years and Arizona owes him $37 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 15-29 with a 4.98 ERA. That's what Bumgarner has brought to Arizona in his first three years there. I figured he wouldn't be good - three straight years of increasing ERAs before he left SF - but he's been worse than I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Wilson Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 What the shit is this fuck. Never seen three straight balks. Ok I know people on here are balk-defenders but these are some pretty normal looking pitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it’s basically never happened before. It definitely never happened since 1900 Stats folks can only find 6 instances ever where a pitcher has balked 3 times in the same inning It was the first time Bleier had ever been called for a balk in his career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 The aforementioned Mets and Braves play a 3 game series starting Friday Problem is... the series is in Atlanta MLB is considering contingency plans due to Hurricane Ian Of course, MLB being MLB has already ruled out starting the series on Thursday (both teams have an off day) and has ruled moving the games to a neutral location So the two most likely scenarios are a Split DH on Sunday or extending the regular season one day and have the teams play on Oct 6 (the regular season ends Wednesday, Oct 5) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuetsar Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 That first base ump should have been fired after the game. If you call a balk, it better be obvious, on replay at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Having the AL single-season home run record these days is sorta like throwing the most touchdown passes in a season of any NFC player. It's still a record for a group of teams, but let's not act like the two leagues are really distinct entities anymore since there aren't separate league presidents, there aren't separate league offices, both leagues play with the same rules, and next year every team will play each other. The people trying to retcon 1998-2001 kinda do a disservice to what Judge is doing this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
