The run where right after the trade he couldn't get out of the third inning for like a month was incredibly funny. E: ok i looked it up , his first three starts he gave up 7, 6, and 8 ER R.D. Mangles fucked around with this message at 18:34 on Aug 18, 2020 |

Tatis you are always welcome on the Brewers; they always celebrate dingers and if the score gets run up, so be it. Also in the not too distant past no lead was safe with their bullpen, so there's that.

gently caress the “unwritten rules”. If they were that crucial to the game they’d have become actual rules sometime in the past 100 loving years. Most of them are only there to coddle fragile pitcher egos.

I thought the Rangers crying was bad enough but then I saw Mike Minor is scheduled to pitch tonight and I remembered how their team intentionally let a pop fly drop in foul territory so he could get his 200th strikeout last year and let out a good ol laugh

The shields trade was a bit of desperation because they were actually decent for the first two months of 2016 but had no pitching depth. Since then they've traded for Moncada and Eloy and signed Robert so I try not to get too hung up on it.

What's so weird about this particular unwritten rule is that a lot of old timey baseballers are like "uh, what the gently caress are you talking about?" https://twitter.com/MannyActa14/status/1295784561134071809

gently caress that and gently caress the MLB No punishments until the Astros are melted before the sun god for their sins Edit: I dont think these punishments are even bad, but Manfred can suck my rear end if he thinks he has any legitimacy left

I will admit that it seems a little limp wristed for a manager to go out and get a single game for one of the single most embarrassing looks a franchise can have. That man runs a team, got in front of a camera and told the world "my MLB team sucked real bad tonight and I wish our opponents had been nicer to us after we sucked so bad." Should be a minimum 3 games just for the shame of it all.

I'm pretty new to baseball, regardless of if it's dumb or not, what is the reasoning behind the unwritten rules of not swinging on a 3-0 count when you're in the lead?

On a 3-0 count a pitcher is likely to groove a pitch down the middle just to get a strike. When the game’s already out of hand it’s just seen* as a dick move to detonate on a pitch like that when everybody knows it’s gonna be a struggle just to wrap up in a reasonable amount of time *by some people.

You either take the walk and move things along, or the count goes 3-1 and it gets back to being "fair." Just ignore the part where a fly out moves the game along even faster. Ichiro also supposedly did not know this unwritten rule, which led to many furrowed brows twenty years ago.

It's unwritten cause it's a hilariously lovely look for complaining about it, but the rationale is youve got a "big" lead (tons of subjectivity here), the opposing pitcher is loving lost and flailing miserably, that you offer them a kindness to regain their location on 3-0 and maybe get their poo poo back together. It's unwritten because why in the gently caress would anyone in a serious competition spot their opposition anything? The manager of a professional baseball team essentially cried after his team got donkey stomped, he got salty about it and demanded proper baseball bushido from the samurai at the plate. It's dumb. It's embarrassing. I want the manager fired.

I figured it was something like that, but the stat tracking doesn't really care about the context behind getting struck out or getting a grand slam or anything right?

I mean the idea is "don't rub it in." Running up the score is kind of a dick move at some stage. But that doesn't really apply to baseball because there's no clock to run down. Teams do come back from crazy deficits. The only thing preventing them is you. And like, its just weird to get mad at a guy for swinging at 3-0. What's the idea there? He can hit a grand slam on 3-1? Or he has to just wait and see if the pitcher can get 3 over the plate? Its weird and dumb.

Teams do come back from crazy deficits. The only thing preventing them is you. If you're up 50 in basketball or football with 3 minutes left it is physically impossible to blow that lead. But even a 7 run deficit in the 8th innning isn't impervious and comebacks that large have absolutely happened before. In fact, just last June the Padres came back from down 7 in the 8th to win, thanks in part to Tatis himself.

Tingler and Hosmer are loving embarrassments. It's still extremely dumb that the Rangers are whining about this, but to have your own manager and a teammate throw you under the bus is just ridiculous. gently caress them.

Preventing people from running up the score makes sense in little league (which is usually why each league has mercy roles as well as a max amount of runs per inning), but these are god drat professionals at the highest level. They need to be embarrassed sometimes.

This would be a lot more understandable if the issue was something like sliding hard into 2nd base or some other risky play.

I don't even mind the Rangers being salty about it privately but to come out and say something to the media about how badly he hurt your feelings and also throwing at Machado is dumb as hell. Also I would never throw at Machado in retaliation cause he will retaliate by murdering your 1st baseman or something.

There's a point where you're being a dick. Like if you're running complicated plays in the final seconds of a football game you're tempting someone to lose their cool and hit you hard. Or if a basketball player is rushing shots to try and reach some number. That's not the end of the world. We should just call that guy a selfish dick instead of complaining about how unfair it is. But there is some kind of line between "playing to win" and "just being an rear end in a top hat." But Tatis didn't cross it. Padding a 7 run lead sure ain't it. Just doing your job at the plate is SOP. Maybe like if he was charging into catchers or something, but what is he supposed to do at the plate?

Tingler is by far the most embarrassing thing of this whole fiasco, because while it's dumb as hell I get why the rangers manager did it. But throwing your own star red hot young player under the bus as his manager? What the gently caress was he thinking?

Having seen my team blow a 12 run lead once as well as come back from a 10 run deficit (against the Padres no less!) I'll say you can never have enough runs.
