Re: MLB 2018.1: ...And The Nationals Will Not Make It Out of the First Round
So Ian Kinsler, with two outs, turned away from a ball that was inside, didn’t break his wrists, but the bat clearly crossed the plate. Next pitch, homer. Should he have been out?AF 99

Re: MLB 2018.1: ...And The Nationals Will Not Make It Out of the First Round
The rule on batters swinging at a pitch or holding up has nothing to do with the bat crossing the plate, or the wrists breaking. Although umps do tend to use those criteria to help decide.
It's was the batters "intent" to swing and hit a pitch. Completely subjective and really impossible for a fan or broadcaster to predict.
I wish they would clear that rule up. Instead they are working on pitch clocks and robots.PSNetwork / XBOX GamerTag: xJeris

Re: MLB 2018.1: ...And The Nationals Will Not Make It Out of the First Round
From Nick Cafardo's Baseball Notes in today's Globe
From the Bill Chuck files — “The Nationals have struck out six times this season on foul bunts.” . . . Also, “In 1993, the world champion Blue Jays struck out 10-plus times in a game 11 times. This season, the Blue Jays already have twelve games with 10-plus strikeouts. Then again, in 1993 there were 380 10-plus strikeout games, and this season there are already 424 games in which a team whiffed 10-plus times.”CCT '77 & '78

When you think about it, it makes sense. Lose 1/27th of your outs for a chance at a run.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

Re: MLB 2018.1: ...And The Nationals Will Not Make It Out of the First Round
Originally posted by Kepler View PostWell... not really. We only achieved the runner in scoring position by batting out of order. Remember, the transposition NCFB --> NFCB causes us to bat out of order three times. First when Flores batted after Nimmo (should have been Cabrera). Second when Cabrera batted after Flores (should have been Bruce). Third when Bruce batted after Cabrera (should have been Flores). Bruce is called out for batting out of order. Bruce's PA (taken by Cabrera) is erased. So we never had a man in scoring position under any circumstances.
Let's say Flores had gotten a hit. Then when Cabrera had approached the plate Cincy would have protested. Cabrera would have been called out for batting after Nimmo. Cabrera's actual PA, taken by Flores, would have been erased. Bruce would have come up with two outs. Interestingly, in that situation Bruce is OK to bat because he is considered to be batting after "the legitimate batter" Flores who is considered never to have batted because Cabrera stole his spot. This despite the fact that Flores actually did something and Cabrera did nothing.
I like the rule and I'm pretty sure it makes sense, it's just really difficult at first.The preceding post may contain trigger words and is not safe-space approved. <-- Virtue signaling.
