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. Interesting. Well, good call then, what can I say.
-
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. Unless you can see with JBJ's eyes I'm not sure you can definitively state it was a bad read. 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.
-
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.
-
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.

Agreed. There was several wild pitch chances that could have scored a run.
-
With 1st and 2nd and nobody out, you're pretty concerned with most pitchers. Corbin Burnes is not most pitchers.
-
No, but I can't remember the last time I've seen Cain get that bad of a jump.
-
The two drunk dudes behind homeplate were certain he didn't go around on that 3/4 swing.
-
If Bradley was signed primarily for his defense that's absolutely a play he needs to make.
-
That wasn't such awesome defense at all by JBJ.
-
That location was a strike to Shaw in the top half of this inning.
-
Which tells you all those stats are still subjective, and often wrong. Defensive metrics another good example. It looks so scientific, it's not. All they are saying is that a ball with that launch angle and that exit velocity are hits 1 time out of 10 (roughly). It doesn't take into account where in the field the ball goes. So how do they figure percentages on things like the McKinney catch?
-
30% catch probability on the McKinney catch? That seems highly generous.
-
Burnes don't owe many teammates, but he owes McKinney.
-
Getting Burnes some run support!
-
I'm bummed not to have Grisham anymore too, but I do think they really liked Grisham. I just think they also really liked Urias. Hopefully he can end up being the guy they're expecting.

Prospective trade deadline targets?
adambr2 replied to adambr2's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
While I can understand the Tigers dealing Boyd/ Fulmer (the Tigers have other pitchers ready to pitch at MLB), I am trying to understand why the Tigers deal Candelario... He is not expensive & is under team control for 2 more season after this one. Before responding I tried to figure out how Detroit would back-fill Candelarios departure. The 1 in-house option (Isaac Paredes) might be ready for another chance in MLB but I was not impressed with what I saw from Isaac P last summer. Yeah, you may be right. I was more just looking at Candelario from our perspective as a guy we might be interested in, but the Tigers might not have interest in dealing him. Boyd or Fulmer seem like guys they could move, though. Boyd would be my preference between the two. -
Jace isn't in the lineup, so I'll consider that a step in the right direction, Tyrone or not.

Not sure he'd be much of an upgrade over Hiura/Vogelbach unless you get the 2019 Bell again. -
I had nothing at all after Moderna 1. Had Moderna 2 about 5 hours ago, so we'll see. I'm working 2 to 10 today and tomorrow, so I hope nothing.
-
Roenicke was all about his "eys" too. Braunie, Gomie, etc. I think the most obnoxious part about it is that he would often refer to RickIE Weeks as "Rick".

So while it's still incredibly early, I think we do know of a handful of teams that will definitely be sellers, and I feel pretty confident in saying, unless something catastrophic happens before the deadline, we will be buying. So what would we be looking for? I think we'll definitely add a pen arm, maybe two, short term rental types. I expect this regardless of whether or not the pen shows improvement before July. Perhaps the strength of the buys will depend on that, though. I am not really sure on prospective bullpen names just yet-- I would imagine if the Cubs are sellers this year, Kimbrel will be the biggest name available. But I think there are just too many hurdles for that to happen -- being in the division being the biggest, but also his '22 salary which I'm sure we wouldn't want to take on all of. Kimbrel's value is tough to peg. A team to watch is the Tigers. They'll sell, I assume, and they have some really interesting targets for us. I think either or both of Boyd or Fulmer could be available. If they're breaking out again, they could be a really good buy and you'd have them for '22 as well. This could push Houser back to the pen and improve both our rotation and pen at the same time. Depending on how things shake up with Shaw this year, Candelario is another Tiger I'd be interested in. Obviously still very early to know how things will look in July but I have no doubt the front office is doing their due diligence on numerous potential targets.

Wasn't that right when that historical McGwire/Sosa homerun chase was going on? That's some pretty crucial context to that. If anybody ever chases a single season HR record again I'm sure fans will be flocking to the stadium to see it.
