Will give teams and batters a chance to reverse the obviously blown calls while preserving fluidity for borderline calls and framing. Bring it on, the sooner the better. No love lost here for bad umpiring. Edited May 25 by ghost of miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milestones Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 (edited) Cleveland Guardians hit back-to-back-to-back home runs (Ramirez, Naylor, Frey) last night as they destroyed the Angels. Guardians are among the highest scoring teams in the MLB, and now the power has shown up after being their big deficiency in recent years. The team is playing great under the new manager, Steven Vogt. Edited May 25 by Milestones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any given game, the Red Sox have 4-5 hitters who by rights ought to be batting 8th or 9th, either by history or by performance to date. The result is offensive frustration for at least the last month that is also likely to continue for a month or more given who is on the roster and who on the IL will not be returning for 4-8 weeks yet. In a best-case scenario they are a last place, .500 team. As the league adjusts to the sometimes-decent pitching, that illusion will vanish with the offense.

Dan Gould Posted May 28 Report Share Posted May 28 There is only one downside to Angel Hernandez' retirement: Seeing some sort of "challenge" system come to fruition so that he could be named, not worst umpire, but most-overturned umpire. Then maybe someone could have asked him about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gould Posted June 3 Report Share Posted June 3 As down as I remain on the Red Sox chances this season, there are little glimmers like, Wilyer Abreu, acquired from Houston in the Christian Vazques trade. (IIRC the Astros won it all that year but Vasquez left after his rental and Abreu looks very much like a keeper (Sox also got the up-and-down Enmanuel Valdez in that deal, I think he profiles as a decent utility man.) Entering Monday, among qualified AL rookies, Abreu leads in OPS (.829), hits (46), doubles (14), extra-base hits (22) and total bases (82). He ranks second in batting average (.272) and runs scored (26). Abreu is third in home runs (six) and stolen bases (seven). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
