2014 MLB catch-all thread

Featured Replies

This new rule where you have to have a clean transfer to the throwing hand on a force out is ridiculous.

 

Arencibia just caught a ball on a force at home, but bobbled the transfer (he clearly caught the ball) and they called the runner safe at home. The runner was nowhere near home plate.

 

Instant replay was supposed to make sure the close plays were called correctly. Not stupid crap like that.

Totally agree. That has been the worst thing about replay. Nobody on either side of that call wants it enforced that way. That's a rule that should be looked at immediately and changed.

Additionally, the #Astros have optioned OF Robbie Grossman to Triple A and have designated RHP Lucas Harrell for assignment.

MLB starting pitchers are allowing an average of 8.80 hits per 9 IP this season; no year has finished with such a low number since 1988.

isnt it abnormal for a GM to mention contract offer number specifics when asked about negotiations? When i first read your post, i figured the number was leaked, not that Jack Z actually said that was the declined offer in an interview.

Abnormal for a regular GM is not abnormal for Jack Z.

The Tigers just did exactly that with Scherzer.

RHP Jeremy Jeffress elected free agency rather than accept an outright assignment from Toronto. Will sign with new team within 24-48 hours.

Replay in regular season baseball is terrible.

Addison Reed blows another save giving up HR in 9th to Uribe.

First career golden sombrero for Mike Trout.

Burls--7 shutout innings vs the Indians

 

4-0, 0.64

 

Late career 20-win season would be very cool. Going to need luck, but you never know.

Just waiting for the thread saying the Sox should have kept Buehrle instead of signing Paulino. You know it's coming.

Toronto would still trade Buehrle for Paulino straight up happily.

The DH makes a mockery of the game! /green

I wonder how many more pitchers are going to bite the dust this season with torn ligaments.

I watched that and came to post it. Lots of people at fault in that scrum, Snyder and Weeks are probably going to get some time off too

He's become a more egotistic ass since he's learned how to hit.

 

But he's always been an ass.
