    LOL Thought about including them, but he never got higher than the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers of the Class A Midwest League in the Seattle organization. Come to think of it, I may have seen David Arias (as he was known then) play when the Rattlers visited the Quad Cities River Bandits in 1996; can't say for sure.

    So does he wear a Red Sox hat or a Twins hat? I keeed.

    Only person elected by the writers

    Nobody gave it a second thought until one poster decided to make an issue of it.

    Joyce was a very good ump, widely considered one of the best in the game, who made a bad mistake which cost a kid immortality. The fact that he owned up to it should say something about him. Joe West could be one of the best when he wanted to be; he just didn’t choose to care all that often. Remember, he was the one who called ARod slapping the ball out of Arroyo’s glove and properly awarded Bellhorn the homer in Game 6 of the ALCS in 2004. Like I said, when he choose not to make it about himself, he was pretty good. It just didn’t happen all that often. He’s retired now, so we can’t kick Joe around any more. Hernandez is the poster child for incompetence in every facet of umpiring. There is nothing positive you can say about his work.

    From what I've read, 3 nights out of 4 during the season, Diaz is a good umpire. On the bases, he is rated pretty high. Very seldom are his calls overturned there. But he rates very poorly behind the plate. As opposed to Angel Hernandez who sucks 4 nights out of 4.

    Do the Giants display a 1904 World Champion flag/banner/placard or just a National League Champions one?
  8. illinoisredsox
    I’m pretty sure there’s a seniority portion as well. A rookie ump could grade out as the best in the business but I doubt he gets a postseason assignment. Now how Diaz got seniority is another question.

    Here's an interesting (long) article about the effects of robo-umps in the Low A Southeast League, where they used them this past season. It also looks at other rules changes that have been implemented this and in past minor league seasons at all levels, including pitch clocks, moving the mound back, larger bases, and limits on pickoff attempts. https://www.theringer.com/mlb/2021/10/21/22736400/experimental-rules-atlantic-league-robo-umps

    Is this Bogaerts final AB in a Sox uniform?
  11. illinoisredsox
    Yep. It’s been absolutely ridiculous.
  12. illinoisredsox
    Only question is will they hit a meaningless solo homer in the 9th to avert the shutout.
  13. illinoisredsox
    About does it?
  14. illinoisredsox
    They’ve been playing home run derby the whole series. They’ve scored 28 runs. 23 of them have been on home runs.
  15. illinoisredsox
    Yes I am. Any big league pitcher can make opposing hitters look silly if they have their stuff that day. It’s how often they have their good stuff that separates the great from the good from the average from the bad.
  16. illinoisredsox
    Why torture yourself?
  17. illinoisredsox
    Verdugo will move there, Kike back to center, Dalbec to 1st and Shaw to 2nd.
  18. illinoisredsox
    ^^^^^^
  19. illinoisredsox
    I’m betting on never.
  20. illinoisredsox
    So the defense in the bottom of the 8th will be? Dalbec to 1st, Shaw to 2nd, Kike back to CF and Verdugo to RF?
  21. illinoisredsox
    Does Dalbec hit for Renfroe here?
  22. illinoisredsox
    Smoltz with an great point about the lead Verdugo didn’t take. He gets another 6 inches he’s safe.
  23. illinoisredsox
    Took a perfect throw to get him and Maldonado delivered.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Is he getting Chuck Knoblauch disease?
  25. illinoisredsox
    I know you meant 2-0, but it sure seems like 20-0.
