Since it was caught in the air, the rubber had to tag up at first base and then he can go to second. If you don't tag up then you're out

That's any team bro. Ray actually looked good today. He caught flames later I'm the game just before he was pulled for Delgado today. Struck out Adrian on 3 change ups made that nigga looks stupid. Then struck out seager on 3 fastballs. And Corbin looked really good earlier too. It's a better team than the Giants Idk why everyone got off the snake hype so quick and rode on the Giants pitching when it's actually been absolutely fucking trash.
Chin up.

>Pablo Sandoval's former trainer Ethan Banning said Sandoval needs a "baby sitter" to help him watch his weight.
>"He needs to be smart enough to say there’s problem," said Banning. "It’s not an exercise thing, it’s an eating thing." Banning worked with Sandoval during the 2010 and 2011 offseasons. According to Banning, Sandoval once gained 21 pounds in just 21 days during a trip home to Venezuela.
Has Grienke plunked >Poog yet?
>>66835478
Looks like that first baseman was about to steal second.
Do aliexpress jerseys run small?
>>66835608
>1 pound=3500 calories.
>A guy Sandoval's size probably needs ~2500/day just to maintain his weight, assuming he isn't exercising at all
>That means Sandoval consumed 5000 calories/day for 3 straight weeks
How the fuck do you even eat that much?
>>66835478
For some reason I expected the runner to catch the ball.
>>66835610
They're super tight friends why you gotta be an instigating piece of shit?
Greinke don't pitch in LA until june
>>66835656
I went on a backpacking trip with some friends and one day we calculated out how much we ate, we were pushing 6000 calories a day.
>>66835478
was this before or after he got hit in the head
>>66835658
no seriously what would happen if a runner did that? You can't tag him out because you don't have the ball. Could he run home without resistance?
JUST
>be Chip Hale
>Hmmm, my starter has pitched pretty goddam well, but no there are 2 men on with only 1 out. Who should I have come out of the bullpen?

>Or maybe since he's my closer, I should go with Clippard, the Fly-Ball machine. (We are in a fly ball friendly stadium)
>No, instead I'll go with the pitcher who has pitched the last 2 nights and has a 9 ERA

Automatic out for interference.

Don't think he's up to full strength yet - usually isn't thru April, but yeah should be interesting if he can match last season vs the Cards

>>66835004

>>66835788
Yup. And when the starting pitching does well, something else shits the bed.
>>66835808
Dodgers could win 130 games if the bullpen was solid. Not even a joke. Best rotation in baseball and 3 of the 5 aren't even from the first string.

Our 16th ranked prospect is pitching in the 5 slot and he's finessee the fuck out of two supposed "championships" caliber teams Giants and Snakes.
Kershaw is an all time greatest at 27 years old and elevates the WAR of any rotation by literally 8 points lmfao.
Maeda hasn't even allowed a run yet and the guy was purchased for 25M over the next decade.
Alex wood just turned 25 and shows flashes of lefthand Maddux every now and then. When this dude has it going he ends innings on 11 pitches.
Kazmir is whatever, idgaf just give me a 3.2 ERA, same for McCarthy...
Oh shit and the Korean is a Cardinal killer top 10 LHP on the NL.

>>66836239
'No'
>>66836207
>Masty
He just signed a minor league deal with the Pirates.
>>66836067
Well just to put things into perspective, Greinke won 19 games and got 9 no decisions where he allowed no more than 1 run and 4 of those no more than 2.
Hes could have won 30 games in a dodger uniform. That's fucking crazy.
Dodgers biggest problem is not hitting at the oportune time more than bullpen issues. God I'm so thankful we have Jansen.
>>66835292
But the runner doesn't have to tag otherwise? I'm trying to understand the logic where it's legal to steal bases, but you have to go back to your base if it's hit and caught in the air. I don't get the rationale.
>>66836261
Yeah I just noticed looking him up after I posted. When he first came up I always thought he was gonna make it.
>>66836523
Basically that rule makes it to where runners can't just run a long the bases while the ball is in the air. If that were the case I'd be broken as hell. But yea if it's a base hit the runners do not have to tag up
>>66836523
You can steal bases at your own risk at any time except for foul balls pretty much. On balls hit in the air in fair territory, you have to tag up if it is caught because otherwise a towering infield popup could be as good as a double, which is retarded.
>>66836549
>It'd not I'd
Why is Autocorrect so retarded?
>>66835714
interference/would count as being hit by the ball which is an automatic out
>>66836564
>>66836523
oh I forgot, you can also tag up on caught foul balls but they are very rarely deep enough for you to advance to the next base on.
for instance, if there is a man on third base and only one out, depending on the circumstances it could be better to intentionally let a deep foul ball land instead of catching it for the out but allowing the runner on third to tag and score.

I'm just glad the Indians didn't resign him like everyone seem to have wanted. Remembered a lot of media being critical they wouldn't give him $15mil per/3 years after seeing how much Homer Bailey got.

Or similarly, having a nub of something coarse in your mitt to scuff the ball
>>66837264
knuckleball is a serious ball that means "god damn I hate you so fucking much I'm going to throw you a ball that will exit then suddenly re enter the dimension
screwball is the definition of a meme pitch
"hurr lets fuck our arms up for a pitch that ray charles could hit"
>>66838314
Did someone say Dickeyball??
>>66838335
just look at that
not only does it take less energy and less likely to injure your arm over it but it is just beautiful to look at
>>66837281
Screwballs mess with your elbows more than anything. Turning your hand the opposite direction you would normally to give the ball the movement, all the torque is on your elbow.
>>66838314
Screwballs are effective when used in the right situation, since a left handed pitcher's breaking balls would break in on right handed batters, they could use a screwball to break away.
>>66838373
The best part isn't looking at the ball... It's looking at this guy and his dumbfounded face.
>>66838379
I love watching a screwball in action especially from santiago of the angels but I always felt the risk reward wasn't good enough
with todays medicine and technology we might see the screwball come back and with it more research on what it can truly damage over time
but for now many pitchers fear it over it possibly leading to a short term career and some college campuses tell their pitchers rookies and players to use it at their risk
