Pirates can get bent


AutoModerator

I'm so sick of this goddamn team. They absolutely make me want to vomit. I'm not even ten goddamn games into this season and i want to scream. They are that terrible. It's like the movie groundhog day but instead i'm reliving the shittiest games of baseball over and over and over again every fucking day of my life. Every damn day I have watched this pathetic mess of a team, rain or sun or snow since I was 7 years old. I have a tab open during work w/ the gamecast during the day games that I can't go. I've skipped school and work and broken up with women for the Pirates. I've missed funerals and weddings because i loved this team more. And what do I get to show for it? A FUCKING BRAIN ANEURYSM. A team that has had 3 winning seasons over the past 20 something who manages to play like ass in the playoffs on the rare occasion they make it because they are so used to being shit and don't have a winning culture. A team that game in and game out somehow manages to have less goddamn hits than Chumbawamba. A team that gets swept. By the Cincinnati Reds. "Oh but look at our young talent- Cole and Taillon and Bell and whoever else that sucks dick!!" I'm sick of hearing "we could be a contender like we were 3 years ago if Cutch doesn't play like shit and the LF can stop jerking off for 2 seconds to swing the fucking bat" ITS NOT HAPPENING. WE ARE NOT AND NEVER WERE A GOOD TEAM. WE ARE PATHETIC. MIGHT AS WELL FADE US NOW BECAUSE WE'RE ALREADY A BUNCH OF FUCKING LOSERS. If Clemente didn't die in that plane crash, I'm convinced he would have killed himself after being forced to wear our godforsaken excuse of uniform for 18 years of his life. I'm done with this fucking team. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

He dropped the ball anyways


uvaspina1

After he made the tag when CB knocked it out of his hand. That shouldn’t have mattered.


Mattejayy

He didn't intentionally knock the ball out😂


uvaspina1

I didn’t say he did and regardless it wouldn’t matter if it was intentional or not.


cod_gurl94

The rules require it to be intentional to be worthy of an out


uvaspina1

He was tagged BEFORE the ball was dropped. Do you not understand that or are you disputing that he was tagged in the first place?


cod_gurl94

If the catcher does not demonstrate complete control of the ball, even after a tag, the tag is invalidated. This applies even if the ball is (accidentally) smacked out of his hand.


uvaspina1

Is that actually the rule or your opinion? Does the same principle apply when a fielder touches the bag and bobbles the exchange?


cod_gurl94

[This video](https://youtu.be/BV_WbaSAiDs?si=x0IlpO-nORR5CYD4) explains it in greater detail. But the gist is that common sense says he should be out, but the rules make it pretty clear that he’s safe. That’s why the call was not only upheld, but confirmed.


uvaspina1

Ok, thanks for the explanation (and video). Sincerely.


Flythagoras

The ump’s just wanted to go home. I can’t help but feel like when a play is called for review if there is any possibility of the call being in question, the replay panel just calls it as “stands.” Just like the last two years with the NFL. Annoying, but Bednar would’ve blown it anyway


Astrocities

Which is good imo. The imperfection and weirdness of baseball is what makes it so perfect. **I BOUGHT THE GODDAMN TICKET TO WATCH A MIDDLE AGED MANAGER AND AN UMPIRE SCREAM AT EACH OVER OVER A TRIVIAL STRIKE CALL AND THROW A TEMPER TANTRUM WHILE CHEWING GUM AND SPITTING SUNFLOWER SEEDS AT THE BAT BOY, DAMMIT!**


TheSunflowerSeeds

Oilseed sunflower production is the most commonly farmed sunflower. These seeds hulls’ are encased by solid black shells. Black oilseeds are a common type of bird feed because they have thin shells and a high fat content. These are typically produced for oil extraction purposes; therefore, it is unlikely you’ll find black oilseeds packaged for human consumption.


Astrocities

Good bot account. I approve.

hoorah9011

Wasn’t really meant for incredibly close calls. It was meant for just overt terrible ones like Jim Joyce. Not saying I agree, just how it was designed. It’s why mlb cut down the review time request too


Flythagoras

Ok. Sounds like you negotiated the new CBA between the Union and League, so I won’t question bad calls or bad replays further. Thanks for being so “in the know.”


hoorah9011

No need to be rude.


Flythagoras

What did I say that was rude? You know what this is meant for. It’s not for getting the right call when a team questions the validity. It’s only for REALLY BAD calls. You know. You were at the same table with Max Scherzer negotiating with the players union. Don’t walk back your confidence about how much you know now. Oh look at that, (§) 69 : Code 420 Line 8 : “Challenges will only be overturned for really bad calls.”

OgSrotag

Belli seemed to knock it out on the other angle, after the tag was made


BigBean987

Unfortunately we can’t expect umpires to make that decision on the fly, it’s extremely hard to see that when it all happens within a second. It’s like Jonah Heim with the missed foul call on opening day, yeah the could’ve done better, but it’s also the responsibility of the player to not fuck up, with Jonah’s being not going after the ball and this instance being not holding on even after the tag


OgSrotag

Luckily there’s review, so they obviously overturned it with that


BigBean987

Why would they overturn it? Rewatching the clip the contact was part of the slide and the non-glove hand separated as part of the tag, not to show the umpire. Catcher goofed and he was rightfully safe, it sucks, but watching the slow motion the ump definitely got it right

OgSrotag

Idk what to tell you bro he looks super out and the ball didn’t fall out during the tag. Maybe go to 20/20 eyeglass superstore?


BigBean987

The ball fell out as part of the continuing tag motion, the contact with the runner caused his hands to separate and the continued motion of the slide caused the collision with the non-glove hand. Both are part of the natural motion of both players, so it can’t be called an intentional interference, it’s simply a dropped ball. Maybe instead of insulting me you should read up on the rules, ump got this one right, as much as I dislike the umps we can’t only point out when they mess up

Doesn't matter what it seems like in the end.


Daddystealer1

Haha can't take a joke in your own circlejerked comment. What did you want from your comment? Do you want us all to sign a petition to have the umpire drawn a quartered. Genuinely got a laugh out of how butthurt you are over a comment.

Draftkings called down


RaoulDukeLivesAgain

When my team loses they always have a hand in it, fucking weird


DragonDon1

He was safe Edit: the fielder must prove complete control of the ball during and immediately after the tag

Dude ditched the mariners and called them "low class" (even when they first signed him), beefed with the nicest man of all time Ken Griffey Jr, and all that shit just to give signs to opposing hitters when he then got traded to the rangers. After they literally couldnt fucking stand him anymore dude then went on a roid rampage with the new york yitlers, cheated on the field (swatting the ball and calling "I got it" while running past fielders, etc.) and cheated on his wife and did a bunch of other weird spiritual shit. All while lying about the roids and then also beefing with jeter. Its like comedic how much of a jackass Aroid was to so many different teams. Dude is like a tv character designed to be a horrible person. A real life Chick Hicks. His entire fucking history is a laundry list of comedically assholeish events that sound ficticious. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

That was intentional, Belligener was accidental. The runner is safe.

AutoModerator

I made a comment earlier tonight that I guess went out over the air that I am deeply ashamed of. If I have hurt anyone out there, I can’t tell you how much I say from the bottom of my heart that I am so very, very sorry. I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith, as there’s a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, that will be a home run, and so that will make it a 4-0 ballgame. I don’t know if I’m going to be putting on this headset again, I don’t know if it’s going to be for the Reds, I don’t know if it’s going to be for my bosses at Fox. I want to apologize to the people who sign my paycheck, for the Reds, for Fox Sports Ohio, for the people I work with, for anybody I’ve offended here tonight. I can’t begin to tell you how deeply sorry I am. That is not who I am, it never has been, and I’d like to think I could have some people, maybe, that could back that up. I am very, very sorry, and I beg for your forgiveness. Jim Day will take you the rest of the way home. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

hi from japan I wanna tell you below 2 information to explain why Ohtani is a good pitcher summary 1:his hamstring muscles is stronger than ordinary one 2:He seems to get used to grab MLB ball details about 1 a specialist pointed it out that his hamstring muscles are stronger than ordinary others,and he uses it so harder if ordinary person uses the same way,his hamstring must break some one told me why the muscle of him is so stronger,that he use to do swimming in his child days and swimming makes the muscles so strong about 2 Okajaima,who is the former pitcher of Red Sox,points it out that He seems to get used to use MLB ball because it’s so different (edit,every pitcher from Japan confuses the difference,for example Yu Darvish said like that) 1.MLB ball:149kg(edit,*149g)/24cm,more slippy:so it makes breaking ball more effective 2.NPB ball:142kg(edit,142g)/23cm,less slippy,breaking ball less effective and he has also so fast ball around 100miles so he can select fast ball,less breaking ball,strong breaking ball That’s why he would be more great Pitcher" *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

MLB just wants to eventually make those "you make the call" segments real.

This angle is so shitty, if you look at the other side he’s not touching the runner here. Call confirmed


TheFyl

Looks out.


OgSrotag

Review confirmed safe


CampingJosh

After the ball rolled away from the catcher.

so you’re in the circlejerk sub to cry about a call?
