I like how the Mariners announcers are concerned about Jesse Winkler not having any HRs this year instead of focusing on him leading the AL in walks. He's contributing fine!

I wouldn't say it's the right call but yeah it's kind of whatever. It's a judgement call on intent and Mancini did appear to make a very brief move to 2nd. Always turn to your right unless you're for sure going.

It's so perfunctory though, like I didn't see even the slightest intention to actually go, it's like just the performance of a gesture symbolizing the idea of advancing to second which he immediately rejects

I dunno that I agree with the call based on intent but I do think it was heads up baseball by the A's there and you're taught since little league to turn into foul territory for that reason Even the first base coach is pointing at the bag, presumably telling him to get back on it Johnny Bravo fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Apr 21, 2022 |

I'm on team ump here, Mancini very clearly makes a move towards second, even if it's a very small one don't blame the ump for enforcing the rules, blame Mancini for strolling back to the base as if he had all the time in the world

dude saw the ball on the ground, made a move to second, then reconsidered. the rule is pretty clear even then all he had to do was hustle back to the bag, instead of trying to play it cool and hoping the umpire didn't notice that he turned the wrong way

Sydin posted:Cubs all over pitcher trades in the early goings: They DFA'd Abbott a few days ago to make room for Mark Leiter Jr (  ). Going for cash instead of some lottery ticket in rookie ball is a poverty franchise move. But that's the Cubs.For the Giants, Abbott is interesting. His cutter/slider is really drat good. His fastball is not. He was great up till the pandemic hit and then had a bad 2021. Seems like the Cubs tried to get some added velocity on his fastball and cost him his command. If a team with good pitching development can figure that fastball out, he'll be a good MLB pitcher. Still pretty young with great secondary pitches. Really don't understand the move for the Cubs. I get Leiter Jr is likely to be better this year, but you've made it clear you're "rebuilding", so why not try to fix Abbott who has way more upside?

His fastball meanwhile is a straight as an arrow meatball in the low 90's and MLB hitters absolutely torched him in his cup of coffee last year. I do think the decision to DFA a 26 year old fill-in sixth starter to retain a 31 year old fill-in sixth starter is bizarre to put it mildly, but I'd be very surprised if Abbot ends up as anything besides a fringey BOR junkballer.

He was punching out guys at a pretty high clip with it in the minors. And it was largely the reason he was taken in the 2nd round. I don't think he's going to blow the doors off or anything for San Francisco. Just think I'd rather have him than Mark Leiter Jr and cash. Although maybe cash is tighter than we think in the Ricketts family these days.

What exactly are batters doing when they bug out their eyes, open their mouths, and make weird guppy faces in between pitches ( Pedroia is the guy who was most noticeable)? I assume they are focusing their eyes or getting them to a neutral level or something, but I've never figured out exactly what purpose it serves.

Baseball players are weird and do weird poo poo because they tried it once 10 years ago and got a hit so now it's forever their thing.

The Hall has changed its voting procedures for what used to be called the Veterans’ Committee yet again. https://twitter.com/baseballhall/status/1517519816361451524?s=21&t=BmfxWSjCpceZ5du1iSSaXw It was previously broken into eras, but now the three ballots will be players who played between 1980-now, managers/execs/umpires who contributed between 1980-now, and a third ballot for all persons who contributed before 1980.

As with all things HoF related, I am forced to ask What loving Purpose Does That Serve? Like, what a bizarre and arbitrary division of eras and people. My only assumption is that they're trying to screw someone very specific.
