The ump showed a very clear inconsistency in his response. If Correa had been in the same spot, but been hit, he'd have been out. That means he's in the baseline, and that he caused the poor play.
3 games of rest won't make a difference in the postseason. You've gone this long for the record, you can't quit now.
Also, doesn't Curry only play like 30 minutes a game? I feel like people are way overhyping how many miles are on some of these guys' legs for the season.
It's interference with the new rule (he didn't stay on the bag) and it's interference without the new rule (you've never been able to just grab players while they were attempting a throw). It's a shitty way to end the game, but there would be very few complaints if this happened in the 5th...
The Royals really may be the most fun team to watch in the bigs. Limit the K's, incredibly intelligent on the base paths, great defense, and lots of movement from their pitchers.
Matheny already doing Matheny things. Second inning, 1 out, runner on first, pitcher up, and we've got our infield playing in, instead of double play depth. Cool Mike.
Trading Ryan Ludwick for Jake Westbrooke. That doesn't sound bad, but it was a three-way deal.
Cards got Westbrooke, Padres got Ludwick, and Indians got....Corey Kluber
I thought about this for about 30 seconds, and then picked the draft picks. For starters, in 2018 Trout will account for about 25% of the Cards payroll ($34m). That's just tough to deal with.
Second of all, the last five first rounders produced 21.6 WAR to Trout's 9.0 WAR - and that's with one...
This team is not good. Thank god for transactions and a smart front office.
