2021-04-20: Brewers (Burnes) at Padres (Paddack) [Brewers win, 6-0 -- Burnes reaches 40 strikeouts without issuing a walk to start the season, the new major league record for a starter]

Impressive display of blocking by Narvaez that half inning.

 

Agreed. There was several wild pitch chances that could have scored a run.

Taylor would have been camped under it. Am I doing this right?

 

No, but I can't remember the last time I've seen Cain get that bad of a jump.

 

Yeah but Grisham would've... *ducks*

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Corbin Burnes starts have become appointment viewing. The guy's stuff is so filthy. I love Woodruff's bulldog mentality out there, but Burnes is probably the more talented pitcher. When was the last time the Brewers have had two horses like this at the top of the rotation?

[brewerfan82]

Lol, you guys are really overblowing the one play. It would have been a really nice play to make, but even a good defender isn't going to make EVERY above average possible catch. His aggressive attempt still kept the runner from scoring, I'll give him some points for that.

[wildcat83]

The two drunk dudes behind homeplate were certain he didn't go around on that 3/4 swing.

 

I can’t unsee the lady that keeps jumping around and waving her arms right behind home plate.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Omar Narvaez = professional hitter

I mean it was a really bad read. That's what happened, it's not overblowing it. No one said it doesn't happen to the best of them.

[brooks_quichenick]

That is an unreal call. Wow

[adambr2]

Um. What?

[homer]

stupid ump. get out of the way

[Eye Black]

That is an unreal call. Wow

I don’t even know what the call was?

 

Umpire interference apparently.

[wildcat83]

Catchers throwing hand hit the umpire. Could that be the call?

[CheezWizHed]

I'm confused at why Omar was deprived of the steal; I'm confused why Omar was stealing...

[Eye Black]

If the runner had been thrown out would they still have called it umpire interference? Like is it considered a dead ball, or can only good outcomes happen for the catcher once that occurs.

[homer]

THat would have been Omar's first career steal LOL

[adambr2]

Why do we get punished for the umpire getting in the way? When a ball hits the umpire in the field of play it's fair game.

I missed the mask contact right away, seemed initially like batter interference somehow. Tough break

[homer]

Hit and Run. Catcher hit the home plate ump's facemask on his throw so...I guess that means it doesn't count?

Unless you can see with JBJ's eyes I'm not sure you can definitively state it was a bad read.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

If the runner had been thrown out would they still have called it umpire interference?

 

Yes ... ump made the signal right away as Campusano was throwing the ball. It's an automatic dead ball.

[adambr2]

If the runner had been thrown out would they still have called it umpire interference?

 

Very good question. I've never seen something like that called. In any other instance that I've seen, any interference/contact from the umpire is considered incidental.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Umpire is part of the field when it comes to a batted or thrown live ball, but if an ump impedes a defensive player, the play is automatically dead.

Why would I need to see it with JBJ'S eyes? You can see him get a bad jump on it without having a view from centerfield.

Interesting. Well, good call then, what can I say.
