1. The Duke Posted: May 13, 2022 at 12:03 PM (#6076540)McCann out 6 weeks with a broken hand, and a team as good and as rich as the Mets should have a catcher like McCann as a backup - not a starter. then they get by with Nido as backup until McCann returns, then demote him.
and today's callup, the bearded wonder that is Pat Mazeika, should be in AAA as a "break glass in case of emergency" guy.
Mets already made the mistake of giving the Cubs ex-No. 1 pick Pete Crow-Armstrong (whose mom is the mom in the "Little Big League" movie - the one where the kid takes over the Minnesota Twins) for a useless half season of Javy Baez last year to try to get Lindor to stop pouting. so they are forgiven if they think they can fleece the Mets again.
PCA should be getting a promotion to A+ fairly soon. So sure, if the Mets can beat whatever the Yanks will offer, they should feel free to give Jed a call.
would you prefer "pointless?"
then let's go with that.
if a trade is made with a specific goal in mind - to make the playoffs - and it fails, strikes me as a distinction without a difference. I didn't say Baez was awful, only that the trade was a failure. which it was.
first visit for Mariners to play the Mets is tonight - last AL team not to have played there.
Anyway, in seeing if I could access through Australia I did manage to pull up the Australian page where it promised me the excitement of watching "the Cubs' Jason Heyward take on the DBacks' Ketel Marte."
I got shivers as I'm sure you did.
Now I'm willing to believe Heyward and Marte are the closest thing to "non-zero chance somebody in Australia has heard of" that each team has. But still, who do they think they are pitching this to? Clearly not people who know baseball. But won't the Aussie baseball neophyte be disappointed to find out that they won't witness the great Jason Heyward going head-to-head against the exciting Ketel Marte? Baseball just ain't "LeBron vs Giannis" no matter how much MLB might wish it was.
And I know the Cubs are popular but if Apple paid more than 50 cents for the rights to this one ...
I forget who it was but somebody was pitching with a glove that was practically mustard yellow that I felt should have been disallowed for aesthetic reasons.
It's so bad they have two rookies playing out of position in the field and a Pujols is getting starts at 1B. Yikes. Hopefully just a slump that will pass.
New manager doesn't seem to be any different than old one.
Wouldn't seem such a huge feat but considering the starters were Pivetta and the ageless Rich Hill, it is something of note.
Of course they are playing the Rangers and had a nice lead in both games going into the 7th, but still, it's something.
Any time the Sox can avoid, "turning it over to the 'pen" this season appears to be the prudent move.
Sox up 9-3 in the 7th and looking to extend their winning streak to...2! Small steps baby, small steps...
They even hit multiple home runs!
As Dillon also points up, multiple homers! 14 hits!, what has become of the 2022 Red Sox? Are these now a more realistic version of what we can expect? Only 5 back in the chase for the WC!
Inexplicably, Kapler puts the runner on first in motion and Yadi guns him down on a pitchout.
When the game resumes in bottom of fifth the giants tv crew shows what both base runners are doing in one of those panoramic shots (it takes them a batter or two to get back to this ). Then they find a camera angle where the camera is just focused on Yadi as he watches Kapler give signs to the 3rd base coach and then yadi turns and watches the 3rd base coach relay the signs and then yadi turns and watches the first base coach and runner. He then calls for a pitchout and guns Pederson down because he read the whole play.
Very cool sequence and amazing camera work
whiffs the side in the 9th in the rain - 7 hours or so after many Mets fans arrived to make sure they'd get their Pete Alonso Bobblehead complete with a detachable Polar Bear head.
yes, really
EDIT: Helped by 3 BB, the Pirates score a run without a hit in bottom of 8th, to take a 1-0 lead, which sets up a non-no-no hitless game if the Reds don’t come back in top of 9th.
EDIT: It’s final, 5-1 Yankees, giving them 3 of 4 In Chicago.
And in his other 5 innings he pitched perfect ball!
The cherry on the top of that game was that it was over in 2:32.
I've never seen this before. Am I missing something ?? Just to confirm, Ottavino did not throw a pitch in the 7th inning, nor was he announced as being in the game.
This would normally be a "scavenger" win for Shreve, after he & Lugo killed the win for Bassitt. Ottavino should have nothing to do with the decision. He came into the game after his team re-acquired the lead and should not be eligible.
A pitcher cannot normally be the winning pitcher when is not in the game when the winning run is scored, unless the winning run was scored when the starter (who did no go five innings) was still in the game.
This is not the case here. Ottavino should be credited with a hold. MLB.com also shows Ottavino as the winning pitcher. If the official scored made an error, I guess it would show up this way in all the box scores.
Are these type of errors corrected after the fact ?? Does anybody know ?

Probably that bum Yadier Slowlina again.
Hope your balls get hit by fastballs for all eternity !
Shreve pitched 2/3 of an inning and allowed three earned runs to score on Winker's HR (though two were charged to Lugo).
I guess you could argue that Diaz should have gotten the W as slightly more effective than Ottavino, but Ottavino was pretty effective, and giving him the win gives Diaz a save so everyone is happy.

Biggest difference between homers hit and homers allowed:
Babe Ruth: 704
Albert Pujols: 679
The quote that you posted only applies when the winning team did not relinquish the lead after the starting pitcher left the game.
This was not the case in the example that I gave.
Rule 9.17(a) should have been used in the game that I was referring to, when the team did relinquish the lead.
9.17 Winning and Losing Pitcher
(a) The Official Scorer shall credit as the winning pitcher that pitcher whose team assumes a lead while such pitcher is in the game, or during the inning on offense in which such pitcher is removed from the game, and does not relinquish such lead
9.17(a) is the prescribed method to determine the winning pitcher when the lead is relinquished after the starting leaves, and happened in this game. In this case it was done. Somebody pointed out to me on another site, that this has been done before, but is clearly an error by the official scorer. Some scorers are too quick to jump to the effectiveness method of determining a winning pitcher, when it is not correct or appropriate to do so at least according to rules as they are written.
There is a lot of common sense not awarding a win to a pitcher who has blown a lead for his team, simply because he was the pitcher of record when his team reacquired the lead. But the rule is clearly not based on common sense.
IOW, in this case, Shreve, unless Shreve is an example of 9.17(c); and per the comment there, he is a textbook example of 9.17(c).
I don't have any huge investment in this interpretation, which is not necessarily right, as you say, just because the official scorer adopted it. I'll just say I agree with the scorer here :)
