just a guess

but baseball had to rule on a similar situation a few years ago. it was a japanese pitcher with, iirc, the dodgers. he had a double-set motion from the stretch, which if done in isolation would definitely be a balk. the ruling was that since he did it every time as part of his normal routine, it was not deceptive to the runner and therefore not a balk. so maybe meek does this every time and it has already been ruled on, which is something the umps would inform the other team of at the beginning of a series. i didn’t hear al talk about it because i watch the pitt broadcast, and it wasn’t discussed there – did mckay, jose, or tony complain?

remember the big brawl

with coco crisp and the red sux? He set it off because Crisp felt he was blocking the bag on a steal (like Horton kept suggesting in the postgame). Next game, Crisp steals and does a takeout slide, then gets drilled and pounded on when he charged the mound.

never understood why they picked him up

good fanpost at pirates site showing the production of what they are getting now as opposed to what they’d be getting with deadbeats mcclouth, nady, sanchez, etc – same production for a fraction of the cost, and are a lot younger for it. so it just seemed odd to pick up iwamura.

i mean didn’t sth like that happen in a yankees game late last season, maybe even offseason? there the guys were just plain stupid and both stayed off the bag

yadi, maaan, i don’t know if he’s that clever or just got lucky, but when he reached around to tag mccutchen he touched laroche with his bare hand on the chest, so i guess laroche thought he was tagged out and stepped off

by scoot on May 8, 2010 2:12 AM EDT up reply actions  

the guy caught in the rundown between home and third is gonna be out

his job is to prolong the rundown so at least the other runner can advance. his mistake was, usually once that is achieved, you go ahead and allow yourself to be tagged out in the baseline, especially when the runner behind you is the fastest guy on the team.

i wondered that

i figured they could, since a guy is already in scoring position, if there are 2outs, but not sure, since technically no one holds a runner on second, and it is given from first when the baseman doesn’t hold him on.

no way its indifference because

have been numerous indifference scorings where the catcher also popped up to throw to second.

Dan says

Sensors read 10 ft in front of the plate, so on a pitch that’s on the line like that strikeout pitch, it means it was probably a ball by the time it got to the plate.

Not good for borderline strikes, which is the only situation they end up using it for.

i didn't see anything

after the indifference on colby. unless you are talking about when doumit went to the mound to discuss the final pitch to franklin with meek. that was nothing strange, but i watch the pitt broadcast, so it’s possible something happened before that they didn’t show.

i think russell is probably doing a decent job with what he has, but they definitely need to tell him he’s fired if he continues with these bizarre positioning moves. earlier this year he shifted his whole outfield to the right, regardless of batter, and didn’t change that until 4 balls fell into left with no one there. tonite he played iwamura up the middle against yadi and jay, both of whom hit balls where you would think they would, and should have been outs. we won on that, but i have no idea why he does it, playing the second baseman as if looking to turn two when, in jay’s case, no one was on, and in yadi’s, there were two outs, and so we scored a couple.

well, watching the other team’s broadcast has some pluses, for perspective, and obviously some minuses too. they did not show that at all. seems they took a page from [insert network of choice] when it comes to distorting the events.

did the cards broadcast show tony’s and yadi’s respective disgust and exasperation with holliday when he was out at home?

"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."

by cardball on May 8, 2010 4:49 PM EDT up reply actions  

heh

a little perplexed by our baserunning again. schu hits a grounder under duke’s glove, with two outs, which goes all the way to center, so yadi is scoring easy. schu kept running for second, which you do when a play at the plate is in doubt, but on that there’s no way to get the guy at home. so we gave them an out at second for no reason – even though they screwed it up, despite the result, schu should have held at first.

btw, i like zach duke. when all was going to hell around him tonite, he kept it together. i know we are collectively slumping now, but we’re probably above average offense, and he shut us down pretty well.

the holliday slide just happened. tony was so pissed, as was molina. surprised yadi showed it so much on the field, but can hardly blame him – he was holding up his arms like “what the hell you doing, dude?” steve blass, on the pirate broadcast, said, “well, i heard he was a football player, but it didn’t look like it there” watched it in slo-mo a few times – very very very weak. almost impossible not to score there, with a wide-open dish and the catcher in the air, just touch the frickin’ plate with your foot, hollidaisy. yet another baserunning error.

I still think that the rules for assigning wins needs to be changed.

Maybe when relievers enter a game at the start of an inning give up the lead and the team getsw it back the next inning the W should revert to the starter who actually did something positive, and not to the guy who blew the hold or save.

When relievers come in and give up a lead they shoudl not be eligible for a win.
Franklins Wp gave up the lead. He should not get the win, perhaps the save for the 9th innign performanc, but no W.

Comments?

it should just go to the pitcher with the highest WPA

although, to be honest, part of the excitement of tonight’s game was the question “will Motte hold it for carp to get the W”? And then, “can Miller bail Motte out, to get Carp the W?” Etc.

So. . .

That’s actually a baby that Fredbird ate like 12 years ago. Remember when you were a kid and someone told you that if you ate a watermelon seed you would grow a watermelon inside of you? And then you didn’t sleep for like a week because you were worried that there was a watermelon inside of you. Well, if you don’t properly chew your baby before swallowing, they grow up inside of you and they try to climb back out. It’s like a really big tapeworm that can talk.

not so much the rule

laroche would have been safe, if he didn’t leave the base. With 2 runners on the same bag, the defensive player can tag either one and the one that is tagged is out. Yadi chose to tag McCutchen, since McC was the faster runner. After tagging McC, LaRoche stepped off, allowing yadi to tag him out.

Just stupid baseball from Laroche, smart baseball from yadi.

I’m not defending the cops. i’m just saying you can’t kick down a door of a house with a Good Dog inside and not have to deal with the dog. OTOH, a corgi isn’t really a dog, and anyone who shoots one is a dumbass.

just got back from the Syracuse Chiefs game

And YES, Stephen Strasburg is all that is advertised.

6IP, 1H, 1BB (no one made it past 2nd) 6Ks. He was hitting 96 with ease, and then would back it up with an amazing 81mph change and 81mph curve. Plus he had an RBI single and RBI FC bunt. And he was more dominant that the stats say…

I tried to go into the game hoping he would not be everything he is said to be (not ture), but he really really is. I would trade our first 20 picks last year for him. Oh, and throw in Lohse. (please)

why not, they’ve already given him big bucks, so it’s a little different than your usual concerns about starting the clock.

that left open the possibility his next start could be in the majors, but more likely on a certain homestand they mentioned – didn’t pay a lot of attentiion, sorry. just intrigued by the idea, and he said he’s ready whenever the club is.

not true, according to B-R

RJ was drafted by the braves out of HS in ‘82, 4th round, didn’t sign, then was drafted (in the second round!) by the expos in college (’85).

We did draft a Lance Johnson in ’84, though. Had one good year with the mets, 12 years later.

anyway, i think church k’d three times, which is not surprising, and the pitcher must’ve k’d at least once. however, i do not judge carp on k’s.

More pics

Here are the pics from last Saturday’s S-Cards game.

There was an excellent couple of Fick and Sedbrook at 1st base with Sedbrook looking at Fick with his arms out and an expression of “hell if I know” on his face that would have been awesome to use to mess with the robot, but the wife deleted them.

be my guest

that would be pretty cool. I just wish I would have gotten some better pics of carp pitching. We are going on VEB day and will be sitting behind the home dugout. There will be more awesome pics taken on that day, for sure.

a long stride is slimming

someone mentioned the other day that shelby is short-striding now – i wonder who the hell implemented that.

SUCK!

I don’t know much about minor leagues but that sounds like some sweet pictures.

You see, you spend a good piece of your life gripping a baseball, and in the end it turns out that it was the other way around all the time.

whoever kept complaining about the pitt announcers

who are very good, for talking about a sweep at the hands of philly missed the pregame, where they made clear they were talking about the cards last three, and comparing that to the pirates last three, a sweep of the cubs. the point was, both teams were coming in off three-game “sweeps”

the negativity on the game thread was surprising

you’d think we were the worst team in the league or at the very least, had 08’s bullpen…..

haters gotta hate

i think much of it is tongue-in-cheek, maybe even mocking others’ negativity with one-upsmanship
