Re: 7/17 - 8/2 Game Discussion Thread
And this page might have the info. I'm on my tablet and can't really mouse over each category.

Trout is 4th lowest in the league at 11.3%.
Freddie is top 25 at 39%; 5th in MLB at 42% last year.Originally posted by Gibson88Anyone who asked for an ETA is not being Master of their Domain.

Didn't have much of a chance with the way Sonny Gray was dealing.
And as much as I love Joc Pederson, he's going to have to solve his contact issues. Walking back to the dugout without making contact as often as he does means you have to compensate by launching baseballs into the seats.
He hasn't been doing that since early June and hasn't been very good. It's a high-risk skill set.Last edited by Chip Douglass; 07-29-2015, 01:18 AM.I write things on the Internet.

Re: 7/17 - 8/2 Game Discussion Thread
If the ball hits the bat, then hits the batter, and then goes fair, is it a fair ball?
I'm guessing 10/10 of people here would say no. Except if one of the people here is the umpire from Jays game last night.
I wanted video review of stuff more than many people on this site,and I still like it more than most people on this site, but I don't get how stupid some umps have to be where umps refuse to use video review, or angles that people can clearly see at home, the replay center doesn't use.....Comment

If the batter is out of the box, it's an out.
How does an umpire not know that?Originally posted by Gibson88Anyone who asked for an ETA is not being Master of their Domain.

Re: 7/17 - 8/2 Game Discussion Thread
As you see,the ball hits his leg, bounces off the batters box, then goes fair.....and umpires call it a fair ball,even after Jays argue it.
And this lead to Phillies rally which won the game(Howard scored the first of 3 runs that inning,which won game 3-2 for Phillies)Last edited by Majingir; 07-29-2015, 10:23 AM.Comment

lol exactly....then why did umpires call it a fair ball!? Here's the video.

It doesn't seem like he knew the ball hit the player and then called it a fair ball.....
The ump thought it was a straight hit.
Neither of them were aware the ball hit Howard and that's why they didn't change the call...and one of the umps told the Jays manager..."if you think it hit him....challenge it"
The clip was then edited.
Was the play challenged?
If not....shame on the Jays.

I'm curious to Knight's question whether they challenged it too.Originally posted by Gibson88Anyone who asked for an ETA is not being Master of their Domain.

Speaking of this game...leave it to Verlander to pitch his best game of the season now. DD is gonna see this and think we should buy. Mortgage the limited future we have, instead of starting a quick rebuild by selling a couple dudes who'll be gone anyways.Check out my Houston Astros Dynasties:
