I thought today was supposed to be a double header?? Even shows as such on the Mlb app. But one of the games is postponed??


Soooooo confused...

So expanded playoffs, 10th inning free-runner and universal DH are officially on Manfred’s moving forward wish list.

Gentlemen, I may seriously be bidding this great game adieu in the coming years.

The game shown as cancelled is the one that was supposed to be played in Seattle.

They'll lose some fans like you but there aren't any new fans coming up. So they are going to try some crazy shit.

I don't like it either, but things change.

How to pitch your way off the roster. Come in with two on base, and then walk three straight batters, who were hitting .150, .236, and .255. Inexcusable. Barager threw 18 pitches, and only 6 of them were strikes. :(
Yet he is the pitcher of record, correct?

If the SP does not qualify due to innings, but still leaves with a lead, it becomes scorers discretion.

That said...

I have said it before, I will say it again. The 5-inning rule for SP is STUPID.

I really wish the scorer would have given it to Baragar, just to highlight the absurdity of that rule. That is one rule that has become archaic.

Yup. That was a moundshattery for the ages.

Then again, why TF can't Emoji get through four innings??

The win stat is in general stupid. My proposal: it's only avail to starters who go five (maybe I could be convinced of four) innings and leave with the lead. After that, no pitcher is eligible for a win unless he throws three and leaves with the lead.

That sounds like a new stat. I would not be opposed to it, but it is KINDA just a bastardization of the PQS.

Why should “the lead” be part of the stat? That is entirely out of the pitchers control.

Using the existing stat, but removing the 5-inning rule is, imho, a minor enough “tweak” that it could still be considered the same stat.

Agreed, the Win is BS anyway, but over a career, it does tend to reflect, kinda, how good a pitcher was.
