I think this is it... I think this is how it ends
Anyone know *roughly* when next year's schedule gets released? I have finally gotten a pay rise at work and have determined will get back out to Detroit for a couple of games so need to hold back six days of holiday for a homestand over a weekend then a midweek series to maximise the number of games I can get to (and take the following Monday after I fly home to get over my jetlag)

Usually around the end of the season. Only using pre-pandemic seasons here: the 2019 schedule was released August 22, 2018, the 2018 schedule was released September 12, 2017.

Bumgarner is an rear end but it definitely feels like the umps have come out of the gate this season extra belligerent.

Cowboy Joe absorbed all the self centeredness into himself with his gravitationl pull of asshattery, now the particulates are floating free

I'm assuming umps spoke among themselves about players showing them up last season during the checks and decided not to put up with anything this season

God help me for defending an ump, but I think that's in slo-mo so it looks a lot worse than it is. Assuming Bumgarner was chirping nonstop before the slo-mo started.

Although the slo-mo does make it look very sensual.

Nah, I noticed the same thing in full speed. He's not even looking at his hands. Ump intended to throw him out from zero.

I'm with ol' Snotrocket on this one. What the hell was that ump doing, giving him a massage?

Also, the DBacks came back to win the game in the 9th and the entire division is .500 and above a month into the season. NL Best :smugdog:

Not defending umps, and maybe he was out to toss him, but I suspect if one is looking for a clear yet tacky substance on the fingers, one would use their sense of touch, so the need to look is minimal.

Dave Roberts is at 557 Wins as manager.

Confirmed to be the Dodgers manager for the next 20 years.

He's clearly on the same wavelength as the rest of the baseball ops, and I think it is also clear by now that Roberts is good at the personality management part of MLB managing now. So yeah I think he stays for a very long time.

Dusty will be 9th in wins by the end of the season, if he coaches another season he gets to 7th, possibly 6th but that'd be hard

He's 39 wins behind 9th place, 124 behind 8th so fat chance this season, 157 behind 7th, 193 behind 6th

After that it becomes very unlikely to move up. 325 behind Joe Torre

Sure, but then you stare off into space, not lovingly into the pitcher's eyes.

He put Jared Walsh in left field so Kurt Suzuki could play first base and the Angels won

It's a shame in his last handful of seasons he became a weird crotchety old man who spent more time deflecting about his managerial decisions to the media than he did actually trying to win games. He seems much happier in Anaheim.

I checked into the game after that happened and the announcers said he left with "groin soreness," and I was thinking "Oh god, right after the hammy..."

I'd probably get me ejected anyway but had I been in Madbum's position I'd have just started humming the Jeopardy theme.
