Interesting, so really you want that thing to pop off near the bag since it can only help you by bothering and/or blocking the fielder

Well in theory it could also block you from touching the bag while you get tagged somewhere else. And if the umps think you're intentionally trying to block the tag with your helmet, it would be an out for interference.

    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

Could never control or manipulate it that well without hurting yourself sliding.

Would be called out if done deliberately anyway...or perceived that way.

Might even get ejected if the helmet bounced up and clipped a fielder in the face or elbow or another uncomfortable place.

Looks like we're back to mostly offspeed again.

Bunt.

Or take a home run hack.

Dude just mowing them down

Griffin definitely looks like the better bargain than Kay so far this season.

corpse ball rears its head again.

Corpseball is back in 2026!

The ole soft tossing lefty still the bane of the Sox existence.

Hasn't been worth harping on, but Luisangel's batted ball luck has been pisspoor this season. Not so much that he's lowkey hitting well or anything crazy like that. But his xwOBA is above the likes of Tanner Murray and Edgar Quero and will be ahead of Tristan Peters after today.

Isn’t a lot of that cause he’s hitting it on the ground a lot? And using those three as the standard is scary (not knocking your post at all, I always appreciate the perspective)

Just dfa him and bring up Kelenic.

I think it's more about losing face trading Robert. What were you going to get when the Mets paid the whole salary?

In case you're wondering who's fresh today. Hudson of course already went.

The hitters just have no approach this series. Colson falls behind 0-2 in about 15 seconds.

That didn't take long....

Murray crushed that

This is Mark Buehrle esk

Well that's somewhat baked into the calculation so I wouldn't necessarily blame it on that. I'd guess that heavy ground ball approaches are going to be more vulnerable to stretches of bad luck since you're not getting any of the three true outcomes to stabilize the results. Would also be more likely to have stretches of good luck for the same reason of course.

Sox have squared up their pitcher several times in the past couple of innings. If I was the Nats, I don't know that I'd send back out there.

Troll us with our former pitcher.

Right size wrong shape

Game is in the 9th and isn't 2 hours old

Not sure the right strategy with Burke here. May not be a good idea to let him face Wood again even with the low pitch count. On the other hand, I don't love anyone in the bullpen.

he's cruising, best option imo.
