2 hours ago2 hr 11 straight scoreless outings for Hudson.Griffin compensates for a lack of velo with a deep 7 pitch mix, and it’s been working so far this season. He has spent the past couple seasons in NPB so maybe Mune has some tips.Griffin certainly had a pretty accurate scouting report on Mune:Griffin has allowed 0 runs in the 1st inning through 5 starts so far, and just 10 runs total through 26.2 IP (3.38 ERA). But he’s got a 5.40 ERA after the 3rd inning, and allows a 1.000+ OPS third time through.Gives up a lot of slug on the cutter/curve/4seam, and has allowed at least 1 HR in every start except for a night game in MIL with the roof closed.

2 hours ago2 hr Rules question: suppose the tag had only hit Woods's helmet, as it was leaving his head. One could argue that the helmet would have blocked the fielder's tag from hitting Woods's body efficiently. Do we treat the helmet as part of his body for some period of time even if it has stopped being in contact with his head?

2 hours ago2 hr Griffin sure has the book on Murakami from his NPB time.Back to another adjustment period for Mune.Also think those offspeed pitches are harder to pick up in daytime sunlight/glare. Edited 2 hours ago2 hr by caulfield12

Do we treat the helmet as part of his body for some period of time even if it has stopped being in contact with his head?Helmet has to be in contact with the player to count as a tag. “After viewing all relevant angles, the Replay Official definitively determined that the fielder failed to tag the runner prior to the runner touching second base. Per The Official Baseball Rules, to touch a player during a tag is to touch any part of his body, or any uniform or equipment worn by him. Equipment shall be considered worn by a player if it is in contact with its intended place on his person. The call is OVERTURNED, the runner is safe.”
