Game Thread: 8.25.18 Chuck Norris' @ FeFiFoFum

I assume you are referring to the backup catcher stealing 2nd base? If so, that does seem to be a rare occurrence.

That too, but no.

I was referring to the 3rd base ump running in and over-ruling the home plate ump on a foul tip.

 

[calsnowskier]

Anyone else surprised that Posey is still active today, considering he is going to have surgery on Monday? I would have thought he'd be on the disabled list and Garcia would be up with the team. Of course, the Giants may be still trying to save money. But what do they do if McCutchen isn't traded by Monday and they need a 2nd catcher?

Garcia WILL be added. Sabes was talking like it had already been announced. Evans also said that there is enough room to call up whomever they want for sept.

I wonder how often there is tension among umpiring crews and how this will, if at all, affect the rest of the series?

 

[LHG]

Wow, I'm impressed both in that Bochy left Suarez go back out in the 7th (he seems to regularly pull him before he even hits 90 pitches, regardless of how he is doing) and that Suarez was able to pitch so well that inning.

Man 3 great starts in a row, Bum, D Rod, Suarez

Could anything matter less in the grand scheme of things than umpire feelings and how they might affect a meaningless late season Rangers Giants series? I mean...

There are draft orders on the line!

 

[msgkings322]

Pence!

Gonna miss him...

 

[LHG]

Pence!

Kinda sad how quickly his production went south. He was still good two years ago.

 

[calsnowskier]

That’s why you will never be anything more than a fourth OFer, loser...

 

[calsnowskier]

Pence!

Miss him?

He just earned himself a 2-year contract.








From the White Sox.

 

[calsnowskier]

Panik is giving Slater some massive stink eye...

 

[LHG]

Geez, Strickland. I know that you should have been out of that inning, but you still got to make the pitches. He's really looked bad since coming off the dl.

 

[tzill]

[tzill]

The following people need to be traded. McCutchen, Belt, Longoria, Hundley, Slater, Crawford, and Darnaud

[calsnowskier]

These will NOT be traded:

Bum, Smith, Melancon, Cueto, Watson, Posey.

Don’t be so fast with your Bum proclamations...

[tzill]

[Stokes1931]

Dang, this game feels familiar. Score 4 runs in the 1st inning, and then next to nothing. Meanwhile, the bullpen keeps giving back runs. And now WSmith is back at it (for the 3rd day in a row) and can't get anyone out.
