What is with these managers *****ing about guys that are getting hit by pitches?

Sit down and shut up!

I would have been not happy had that happened for the other team. Pompey's foot was on/in front of the plate, defiantely shouldn't have been given first.

On that thought, not that Dalton was picked off, Pompey shouldn't have been given 1st and should still be hitting

 

[Eyedea]

I was right about Martin hitting the first homerun of the year if we ignore the first 10 games and 1 inning.

Pompey got hit on the toe there but should that cou8nt? Pompey's foot was in front of the plate I think

He should be called out, but ball don't lie I guess.

 

[Longshot]

Pompey is quickly becoming my least favourite player on this team.

 

[Kurtz]

Looked safe.

When I typed that I thought he was questioning if Pompey was actually hit by the pitch. When they showed the replay I realized what was up. Legitimate beef.

wait? called out? If he's out of the batters box and gets hit he's out and not just a ball?

Pompey is quickly becoming my least favourite player on this team.

He started slowly at AA and AAA in his first 30 AB's at those levels. He will turn things around.

Until he gets hot, then he's good again.

6.06 A batter is out for illegal action when -- (a) He hits a ball with one or both feet on the ground entirely outside the batters box. Rule 6.06(a) Comment: If a batter hits a ball fair or foul while out of the batters box, he shall be called out.

I guess since he did not hit it he would still be up to bat. But I'm not sure.

Maybe, but the odds are that a couple of these rookies are going to have to go back down to the minors. The odds of Osuna, Castro, Pompey, Travis and Sanchez all working out are astronomical.

AA yes. Buffalo no, he raked in Buffalo the entire time he was there. 12 games, 10 with hits, 6 with multiple hits.

I'm not concerned, it's only 10 games so far, If he's still hitting badly by mid May then I'll be concerned

Martin wants appeal from 3rd base coach

I just assumed it would be a ball since he didn't swing. If he wasn't out of the batters box that's what it would be. I don't know the rule, but being called out would be dumb.

Found out that it would be a strike in this case.

edit: I actually am still not totally sure. But if he made contact he would definitely be out because it's an illegal play.

 

[OilerTyler]

Horrible defence

 

[The Nemesis]

huh...

 

[Canada4Gold]

That's fairer since I guess the ump couldn't call ball/strike since it didn't get to the plate.

Pompey/Pillar

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Lol ..

 

[shaner8989]

Pompey isn't even close to ready. Sent him down

 

[LeafsMonster]

Ah pompey come on

 

[Longshot]

Pompey with his second boneheaded play of the game.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Goins got rid of that ball too early though imo. He could have ran him back further to 1st, might have given Travis a chance to tag him before he got to 2nd.

 

[TootooTrain]

Uhg. Hate when lack of fundamentals rears it's head.

 

[p.l.f.]

This turf is crazy
Hopefully it will wear in

Pillar was at fault too, but lets leave him out of it because you don't like Pompey right now.
