    OK, this isn't really a scorer's decision, just a question about "why are the rules like that?" But maybe it's come up in discussions among your peers. When the defense commits an error, the inning is reconstructed by the scorer to determine earned runs. When there's defensive indifference, not so much. Last night Matt Belisle gave up a meaningless earned run in the ninth. With two out, a batter walked, who then took second on defensive indifference. A single scored him, and then the last batter struck out. If the inning had proceeded more normally, it's reasonable to assume the game would have ended with runners on first and third. No way that runner "earned" his run, so why should the pitcher have it hung on him? It's a matter of what the defense did, moreso than the pitching - why are the cases not treated similarly by rule?

    I worried I might have put a jinx on things. This morning I decided to read the rest of the game thread before checking the outcome, and I apologize for the heartburn and ambulance calls. But waking up to chicken dinner rather than oatmeal is kind of nice. Good and spicy for me, please.

    Well, the battery on my laptop is telling me I've been watching longer than I realized. I'll leave it to your collective responsibility to bring this win home.

    I think he was added to the 40-man to avoid exposing him in the Rule-5 draft. Once there, options must be exercised to send him to the minors. Unless you are saying he was ready for major-league duty those seasons.

    So, back to midseason form, eh?
  6. ashbury
    They do extra batting practice and fielding drills. Sheesh.

    I recognized several of the pixels.

    I see that in the intervening time you located the missing apostrophe.

    Just with themselves, it was a day off.

    PLONK!!!!

    Also, we're going to the World Series, the season is over, we're going to the World Series, the season is over, we're going to the World Series, and (wait for it) the season is over. Currently, we're going to the World Series. The season will be over soon.

    I was about to guess the Spinners.

    This is the second time tonight that Kepler has taken a very conservative approach to a fly ball at the wall. Maybe I've gotten spoiled, but I thought he would go to the wall and make the catch, both times.
  14. ashbury
    OK, so a Fernandegasmo.
  15. ashbury
    Nah, that call on Rosie was just a flat-out mistake by the ump. Shouldn't compound the error by expanding the strike zone that much.
  16. ashbury
    He had a bead on the ball but was guessing about the wall. He might have thought he had one more step back and then suddenly corrected. My conclusion: this park is too small for Buxton.

    In fairness, he squeezed Shields on a pitch or three elsewhere in the game. Fair but inconsistent? Or just fairly inconsistent?
  19. ashbury
    Classic Bremergasm on that fly just short of the warning track by Buxton.
  20. ashbury
    How many meals did you get out of this investment?
  21. ashbury
    I expected a stronger throw from Kepler. But it worked out.
  22. ashbury
    Probably in multiple respects.
  23. ashbury
    And then Shields does make a chump of him at second base. Doh!
  24. ashbury
    I thought it was, Mrs Chief said "It's because we have to repeat everything we say," and Chief said what he said.
  25. ashbury
    Shields tried to pitch him like a chump on 3-2. Good for Kennys.
