    A dreary, dreadful loss. The ship is sinking.
  2. BruisedCrew
    Bad break but probably the right call.

    Thanks, I didn’t notice that. Those slides are noticeably different, especially the last one where he briefly raises and lowers his arm. My opinion /interpretation is that judge intentionally extends and keeps his arm up on DP balls in an attempt to distract the fielder or get him to try to throw the ball around his arm. He probably feels that if he is already out and the double play will almost certainly be completed, he has nothing to lose . He was probably laughing privately that he got away with that.

    I’d like to see some video of how Judge slides into second base, or maybe even third base or home, when there is no double play in order and he’s just trying to get to the base. That might give us an idea of whether throwing his hand up like that is part of his natural sliding motion, or if it is an attempt to distract the throw for a double play.

    What you’re doing here is mixing up two different rules. The question on the Hoskins play was whether the slide was within the rules’ definition of a legal slide. That is reviewable and the review confirmed that the slide met the definition. The issue on the play yesterday was whether Judge interfered with a thrown ball after he was retired as a runner. For whatever reason interference is not reviewable but the crew chief confirmed after the game that, after seeing the video, interference should have been called. Even if both moves are douchey, one was within the rules and the other resulted in interference. Of course the reason Brewers fans were so upset about this play is that it led directly to the Yankees blowing open a tied game. If Uribe hadn’t blown up right after that the play would have become a minor footnote.

    This video has a very thorough explanation of why Judge should have been called for interference, resulting in a DP. It also addresses why the explanation from Judge and Yankees fans that “he always slides this way” doesn’t remove the interference. Some of the items I saw about this cited a rule relating to interfering with a fielder on a batted ball that does not apply to this. This play made us so mad that we left the game after the Yankees turned their extra out into a game clinching barrage of runs. We couldn’t take listening to the whooping Yankees fans around us when they had been gifted their big inning.

    No Giannis, probably no Lillard. Don’t hold your breath or use up any emotional energy on the Bucks. Who knows whether they could have made a run in the playoffs at full strength but the team they’re throwing out there now isn’t going anywhere.

    I also hate a lineup that has Jake Bauers batting cleanup.
  9. BruisedCrew
    I HATE. sacrificing in the second inning.
  10. BruisedCrew
    Brewers headed for a similar fate.
  11. BruisedCrew
    Who’s the long man tonight?
  12. BruisedCrew
    I’ve had a lot of these discussions too. I have seen MANY times where running on contact works because of a brief bobble or rushed off target throw by the infielder. My observation is that the people who complain the loudest when a runner is thrown out at home are the same ones who say “why didn’t he score on that” when there is a bobble. In this case my guess is that the runner saw the hop and read it as going over the pitcher’s head and glove. Someone saying they run home on everything is just wrong.

    I wouldn’t call that unfortunate. A career minor leaguer like that knows what his role is and that if he does the job well while he’s with the big club, he will get a chance soon enough to become a regular part of the staff (here or somewhere else) when the inevitable openings arise.

    Big night for Ortiz!!!
  15. BruisedCrew
    With a left handed hitter against a RHP, I don’t like the bunt. Try to pull the ball and you might get a hit.
  16. BruisedCrew
    Tommy John

    Maybe we should be thanking the Braves who were more interested in getting Murphy than keeping Contreras.
  18. BruisedCrew
    I would hope that professional athletes would have confidence in themselves. If they don’t they’re in the wrong business. Fans who have no ability to affect the outcome are in a completely different position.
  19. BruisedCrew
    Offense comes through to bail out Peralta.
  20. BruisedCrew
    The Brewers are pretty clearly in “closer by Committee” mode right now. It’s going to depend in part on situations and in part on who is available.
  21. BruisedCrew
    Now we’ll see how the relievers bounce back about 18 hours after their high stress innings last night.
  22. BruisedCrew
    I think that’s why when I was a kid we used to say “The faster they come in the faster they go,out”, Sanchez just laid his bat on that ball and watched it go. Chapman night be a candidate for a DFA soon.
  23. BruisedCrew
    Chapman hit the bull again.
  24. BruisedCrew
    Solid D for Peralta’s outing today. Presented with the second most runs the Brewers have scored in the last 10 days he couldn’t even make it through 5 innings.
  25. BruisedCrew
    Did I say you were accusing me of anything? You mentioned “panicking” in connection with expressing an opinion about overuse of the bullpen. You didn’t quote anyone, but you must have thought somebody in this thread was panicking, and I don’t see that. I see people expressing reasonable and valid opinions.
