the ump that tossed Bumgarner apologized

https://twitter.com/JesseRogersESPN/status/1522710110837121024

quote:

I would like to address my actions on May 4th involving Madison Bumgarner. When I began my MLB career almost 15 years ago, I received some good advice. I was told to umpire every game as if my children were sitting in the front row. I fell short of those expectations this week. While I can’t go back and change what happened, I take full accountability. I will learn from this incident, and I sincerely apologize.

Has anybody proposed an ideal setup for sticky stuff, like a combination of two substances one could secret on their person that would be the sticky stuff itself and a corresponding solvent to surreptitiously remove it from the hand at the end of an inning?

I don’t remember Texas/Houston ever really being a whole thing until we joined the AL, so I choose to believe it was started by jealous Arlington residents/future insurrectionists

Once Interleague was introduced we had the Silver Boot Series but the Astros and Rangers have never been good at the same time since then. The Rangers brief period of relevancy was during the Tank Years.

I feel like the second someone in the rotation gets hurt they should make King a starter. He has elite starting pitcher stuff.

King has 1.2 fWAR/1.3 bWAR in 17 innings. He has been crazy good.

Only issue is that he wouldn't be stretched out at all, meanwhile the Yankees have 4 SPs in Scranton who are also already on the 40-man.

I don't doubt King could do the job, and well, but I don't think he's the first guy who would be moved in should somebody go down.

frank is still the cubs' starting first baseman, this might shock you but the two months he hit like miguel cabrera appear to be an anomaly, and a minor league lefty bat looks to be taking his spot at first (though frank is DHing).

I think Schmidt would be first but i'm not just talking about like what makes sense in the near term. King seems to me like the most likely guy in the Yankees' system right now to end up being an elite starter. None of the guys at Scranton are all that great prospects at this point.

I hate the Yankees, unless they’re playing the Red Sox, then I will begrudgingly cheer for them.

The local rivalry for the Rays would be the Marlins but nobody gives a poo poo about either team so there’s nothing to it.

I did get to join in a Ji-Man Choi chant with the 6 other Rays fans at Wrigley a few weeks ago and managed to not be murdered by the drunk guy next to me yelling WE LOVE RON DESANTIS at the Rays dugout

Yes, this version of the Mariners seems both solidly more dangerous than last year's squad and less reliant on luck. Even better, it feels like the lineup has a ways to go before they're firing on all cylinders. Maybe it all ends in tears, but this team feels like it has a very high ceiling.
