You'd think the umpires union would be concerned about the safety of these plate umps getting hit in the face all the time...maybe they should do something about that...

Come to think of it, the field umps are in danger too...can't have that...

 

I’ve never heard of an automated strike zone getting a concussion. Just sayin’...

 

So what happens if two umps in a game get hurt? I mean, we’ve lost one in several games this week.

 

1 stands behind the pitcher, 1 in the field

Defensive positioning is something else these days. No wonder guys are going up there figuring their best chance at a hit is over the wall.

Ryan Braun continues to hit a lot of balls on the screws right at fielders. It's frustrating

 

Yep, with any launch angle that’s a definite homer

I wonder what we could have done for pitching with the 18 million they gave to Grandal but the guy has earned his money to this point no doubt.

Not Joe Kelly, he cost $27 million.

Not just “at Night” anymore.

Holy crap! Moose just bunted to beat the shift! Baseball purists rejoice!

 

I mean, he was a dead duck with a good throw, but still ... ;)

 

At least he proved that a ballplayer actually has an idea that it might work...

Just catching up on the IGT, wondering if I can get an assist on this. I know Grandal bunted against the shift in Cincinnati (but was thrown out by the pitcher). Did Travis Shaw also try to bunt against the shift at some point this season? I heard he did, but don’t recall seeing it.

Would be awesome to not lean on Hader for 6 outs and lose him for the rest of the weekend...but who else makes sense for the 8th?

 

Barnes maybe?? Anderson? (ducks for cover...)

 

edit: guess it'll be Hader for another extended outing...sure would be nice to add a healthy and effective Jeffress to the mix out there soon.

Tempting to save Hader at least for the top of the order rather than starting out facing 7-8-9

 

Doesn’t matter if that includes David Freese. What the cuss...

That's what I was thinking, too...unfortunately there's no reason for CC to have faith in anyone else for a cleanish 8th inning. Now Hader will have to work without a net for 6 outs and his 2nd inning will come against the top of their order. Lots of lefties to face though...

I don't think there's a player in baseball I despise more than David Freese. He should retire IMO

He has a stupid face, that's for sure.
