MLB's league office is afraid of the umpires' union. Those f'ing chUMPS will go on strike at the drop of a hat. Btw, the league office should do something about the O's franchise; the O's have been terrible for a long time w/o any attempt at improvement.
-
The Yankems didn't let him go w/o a reason. His history has been that he turns into a pumpkin later into the season.
-
Wouldn't it be great to have a job where you can f*** up on a regular basis and not get fired? Welcome to the world of MLB umpires. Even clowns in a circus have to answer to someone.
-
Unexpectedly, the SOX aren't exactly rakin' Akin. JD=3 BO's=1
-
O's pitching is actually elite; they just caught the SOX when the SOX offense is hot.
-
Akin' for a breakin'.
-
I doubt Cora will be platooning Bobby Dee for a while.
-
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly in baseball talk would be The SOX, teams under .500, and the O's.
-
Beauty and the Beast in baseball talk would be the Rays and Tropicana Mausoleum.
-
Also, greatly improves SOX run differential and pads team stats.
-
Beauty and the Beast in baseball talk would be Camden Yards and the O's.
-
From playing the O's and then facing the Yankems; from facing the worst pitching in MLB and then facing some of the best pitching. This will have to require a big adjustment by the SOX. Like going from batting practice to real game pitching.
-
Just checked; Mountcastle is recovering from concussion symptoms he received on 8/6 due to a hard tag to the head.
-
IMHO, both Mancini and Mullins are undervalued. Perhaps Means, also.
-
Promising performance by a guy who hasn't seriously pitched in two years.
-
Btw, Mountcastle must be injured or Covid watch. Anyone know why he hasn't been in the O's line-up these two games?
-
They do have a promising player named Mountcastle. The 4th 'M.'
-
Yup.
-
If the season ended after today's game, Devers numbers would still be pretty decent.
-
Billy Bob Thornton would be the perfect manager for the O's. He would just sit in the corner of the dugout with his whiskey in a Coke can and stay drunk.
-
Yes he did.
-
I was wrong about August 2019, which I've just posted.
-
My bad; youtube screwed me up. The last time Sale threw over 100 mph was in June of 2019. 100.3 to be exact.
-
As late as August, 2019 Sale was throwing many pitches at 100mph. In fact, Eck was in the booth when he threw 5 of them against the Yankems.
-
Let's say the catcher calls for a curve and it hangs over the plate; is it the catcher's bad call? Can we please sometimes give blame to the pitcher? Also, when a pitcher misses the target by a foot, whose fault is that?
