1. Hombre BrotaniEast Coast bias (i.e. sleep). Also who makes a big deal out of anything on a Saturday. I will say that a guy with a history of shoulder problems probably should not be doing that Padres' HR celebration which seemed to involve fiving in several directions and odd angles.
Arguably the big story of that game was Darvish 7 IP, 1 R.
Meanwhile, down 2 with the leadoff guy on in the bottom of the 7th, the Cubs just missed grounding into a DP so did a better job of it the second time. That was anticlimactiv.
It looks like Horton has returned to appreciating the metrics after a couple of seasons being the curmudgeon.
you can get four broadcasts on mlb.tv.
I'm watching the cardinals, angels, cubs and mets game (Cubs just ended so added the Blue Jays)
It failed, but it was going to fail most of the time anyway, you still have to take the chance... this is one of those decisions that no matter what you do, there is a negative.
As I'm typing this, Reyes gets up in the bullpen, and is just more or less stretching up, which is a good plan.
That was huge.
(not nearly as extreme as the World Series managerial brain fart, on many levels. but I chuckled anyway)
NO ! BASEBALL GODS !
#### YOU , ############# !
dodger relievers looking like the StL bullpen, giving it back ... wild pitch with bases loaded and in comes a run.
LA up 5-4.
but geesh, these two series already have been pretty epic - especially for April.
Tatis is the second visiting player with back-to-back multi-HR games at Dodgers Stadium.
the first was a fella named Barry Bonds.
Tatis victimized Kershaw Kershaw Bauer Bauer.
edmon doing the scrappy edmon thing, getting a hit, taking third on a single to left center when he sees it's not covered, then scores on a grounder. i like it.
but i also like 3R home runs ... especially against this team.
tyler obliges, but with no one on base. i'll take it.
I'm fine with my team scoring runs anyway they can, and I'm pleasantly happy that the Cardinals starting pitching has been as good as any team out there for the past week. If we can just get Shildt to stop pulling too early, the runs allowed might be lower as a team.
agree, certainly. the pitching and how pitchers are being handled is another matter entirely.
some of it looks like joe west deciding he has to control the game, and bell upset because maybe he's not tossing flaherty, though i have no idea how he has any reason to want that outcome.
but west is now being patient, letting bell get his money's worth.
now a little bit of tempers ... india, the guy who got hit, is chirping.
funny how we seem to have some thing every year with cincy.
okay, they are on a commercial break. can't wait to see if there are some more words and chest thumping during the between innings.
It's a fairly specific record, but it's still impressive.
cfb, you mean because it's automatic ejections if there's another hit batter, right?
even dan and whatsisname were having similar observations.
Yes.
dan pointing out that dejong is doing a little peacemaking with votto after getting on base, it's how teams sometimes get messages to each other that way ...
that was joe west's 193rd career ejection, according to dan. is that a record?
ugh, west has been umpiring since 1976. geez.
Players have been born and retired and put in the hof (Roy Halladay) in that time frame, maybe there should be a limit to how long you can manage.
hah, they are talking about the father/son ejections west has done in his career. what a maroon!
Umm, I'm pretty sure that wasn't an uncommon double play, the uncommon factor is of course it happening at second base not third. It's not exactly common, but I'm sure it has happened a couple of times a year.
huh, a 6-5-3 double play courtesy of the shift. they made it look easy.
have a coke on me cfb ...
boy, jordan hicks has so much upside. that last pitch that he struck that guy out with was nasty.
nuts. sloppy play on a potential DP and a wild pitch and a fat pitch down the middle and suddenly the tying run is at the plate. dang.
... and now hicks over 26 pitches in the inning ...
whew, an easy out.
holy crap that was about the worst 4 pitches i've ever seen from reyes ...
oh christ now he gets robbed by the ump. just great.
whew! cards win.
good night and good luck!
3B is not near the bag and will usually be breaking to his left on a ball hit towards the hole. By the time 3B gets back to the bag for the force, not enough time to throw across to get the batter. If it's that close to the SS and that hard hit, easier to try for the DP via 2B. So you do see 6-5 forces now and then, maybe more likely 6-5 tag plays, when the SS is deep in the hole with momentun going away from 2B ... maybe if a Molina is the batter.
tatis with a home run already today.
5 HR in his last 11 AB in dodger stadium.
sheesh.
Total inches moved by Dodgers batters to try to avoid getting hit by pitch: 0
the two i saw were breaking balls right at their thigh. no self respecting batter tries to avoid a pitch like that.
in real life, it took a bases-loaded, inning-ending DP to get us to the middle of the 7th inning as "the buzzer sounded."
maybe part of MLB's problem is that they are in denial. if you are cool with 4-hour games, then prove it and list the game as "7 pm to 11 pm." sure, it might end a little early - but it's almost always going to be a lot more accurate than the current effort.
Then the pitcher finally throws a strike on 1-2----why?---which Tatis hits into left for a single.
EDIT: Then he walks the bases loaded before wriggling out of it by getting the next two guys.
Makes me wonder about the Dodgers pen---are guys injured or just unavailable?
Does it happen at night too? Dave Roberts, on the air?
re my [80]comment LAD did not IBB Tatis when he represented [76] the tying run, and Roberts sent in Jimmy Nelson for his first save ever, and had no one warming up behind him in the bullpen? Nelson allowed runs, didn't get the save, we go to Extras.
Great for the fans...so someone says, ghost runner on base.
He was already tied for the NL lesd going into the game, with 16.
All LAD needs is a poke, but I admit, this is a *little* exciting.
they had him pitch 25 and 18 pitches in his 2 innings.
Jansen's workload will be tightly monitored all year, and Knebel's arm just fell off the other day. Treinen, they had hoped to stay away from.
I assumed they'd finish tonight with Price and Graterol (who is just off the DL), but they brought them in earlier. I guess The Jimmy Nelson, Boy Closer plan was there all along.
also could be that, hey, they hardly ever lose - so does it even matter what we do? you know we're going to win anyway.
why on god's green earth did they pitch to hosmer?
ya, doc blinked i guess. i can't believe he didn't think to just IBB hosmer and keep the force on every base.
one bad move can kill ya in a game like this, especially as noted elsewhere, you never know when the ump is going to call a ball a strike and vice versa.
That seems to be Dave Roberts' philosophy this year. He's put sub-par relievers into games in big spots to stop guys from going back to back. It works out sometimes, and blows up other times. But Jansen has also blown up when he's pitched back to back games. One issue with the Dodgers is that their bullpen is pretty awful, so when Treinen and Jansen aren't available, it can get ugly. The one thing I didn't get was not doing a squeeze play, even if just a safety squeeze with Kershaw up and 1st/3rd with one out.
I have mentioned on several occasions attending the Mets' 18-inning win over the Pirates on April 28, 1985
the Mets scored in the first inning on a grand slam by Daryl Strawberry that plated Howard Johnson, Keith Hernandez, and Gary Carter for a 4-0 edge only 5 batters into the game.
the Mets then went scoreless for 16 innings, including at one point the famous final appearance in the field of Rusty Staub's distinguished career. Rusty was, well, maybe he could have mixed in a salad at that point of his career but he was a gourmet chef with a stellar Manhattan ribs joint (still the best I have ever had). hijinks ensued, as the Mets kept moving him to RF for RH batters - then having him waddle over to our LF side for LH batters. Rusty even made a diving catch. what a day.
time of game? 5 hours, 21 minutes. somehow they squeezed in 7 extra innings in only a few minutes of additional time before the Mets won it in the 18th when Mookie Wilson scored on an error by the first baseman.
#foreshadowing
.................
meanwhile, it happens every spring dept - or more precisely, about twice a year.
MLB teams down by 6+ runs after the 7th inning, in the last 50 years:
100 W
13,547 L
0-49 this season
but now 101-13,547 and 1-49
