hitting .385 in Tampa, I want him up here even if he strikes out every AB. No reason for him to hit his lifetime HR's #5 to #25 of #600 in his Hall of Fame career down in the minors.
I am only half kidding. They should try to trade Stanton before he pulls a muscle nobody has ever heard of.
Bases loaded and Gilbert had just walked Trevino on 4 pitches - so dumbass swings at the 1st pitch into an easy DP....
My fault--I take full responsibility for jinxing that one.
You didn't have time to jinx that. Guess he thought he'd ambush a lazy fastball down the middle.
Gilbert isn't the kind of guy that's gonna be all over the place. The pitches to Trevino were pretty close. As you said Berti thought he'd jump on a get me over fast all. He hit a rocket 1 or 2 hopper towards the middle just right at the 2b. A little frustrating they blown a few chances to blow the game open but man this team is on a roll. The starting pitching continues to be other worldly good.
I look at it as if the baserunner was the other team and what I see.
I always look at it like that and there was no definitive angle that showed him clearly out. As I said he may have been out but we're talking millimeters if he was and that is not enough to overturn a safe call. I don't know maybe NY had some angle we didn't see.
that SB was much closer than I thought it would be...
Not sure he is as fast as people think. Should have been easily safe. I think the overturn is correct.
I disagree about the overturn but I agree about Volpe's speed. He got a good jump and the catcher was initially blocked. Should have been a clear SB.
You are thinking like a Yankees fan. I saw in the 1st replay and knew he was out - shocked, thought he made it easily but he did not. You can see the glove hit his ass and the fingers had not hit the bag - the hand had not been stopped by the bag.

Voice doesn't match the face. Doesn't sound like a Jersey guy..
As I was saying...
My fault--I take full responsibility for jinxing that one.

Is Cabrera gonna be back in the minors when DJ comes back?
Desperately want to have Dominguez with the big team but with Big G playing well, not sure there is room for him to get consistent ABs.

Horrendous overturn! That was band bang. He may have been out but there was no clear evidence. That one has to stand.

I thought the videos were inconclusive and they should have stuck with the original call. In one video angle he looked safe.
I look at it as if the baserunner was the other team and what I see.
And his 2nd DP this game.....

And Gleyber.
The spin on the throw skipped away. Rizzo three years ago probably gets it.
