Who fills his spot?

 

[sutz]

Well, for now Ramirez is doing well for 2 1/3 innings covering.

Long term, IDK. Maybe Kirby, but it seems too soon for him.

 

[balakoth]

Suarez needs to learn how to put in a little more effort on that first step to first lol

 

[DJrmb]

Thankfully, it's just a contusion for Marco. They say he should make his next start.

 

[balakoth]

I guess.. its not like he was starting out hot in this game either honestly

 

[Bobblehead]

So there was a player the other day who beat out a throw to first, but made a inside move to walk back to 1st and was called out after a tag. Julio, slid into first and past.. got up and made a inside move.. could they have tagged him out?

 

[Ruminator]

I bet sliding makes the runner immune as long as he touched the base, but not sure.

but he gets up, makes a step towards 2nd... IDK

Good on Scott Servais there. The whole Julio thing with shit calls by the umps is out of hand. Yeah, you're not allowed to argue balls and strikes, but he had to go out and defend his players from getting screwed, go getting tossed was the right thing to do.

 

[Bobblehead]

Doesn't kick it he's out of the inning... damn

 

[sutz]

I actually think he was trying to get out of the way that time, but it bounced up on him. Flex does have a habit of kciking out with his back foot at the ball as it bounces past, but not that time IMO.

Yes, if he doesn’t get back to the base.

That should have happened long before now.

Bad luck and bad offense cost them the game. Flex pitched well. Murphy had got to be hacking there in the last AB, taking strike 3 there is unacceptable.

 

[Crizilla]

Didn't see the game but heard it was bad. Usually rookie bullying by umps doesn't last this long. They are out to get Julio, simple as.
