Schanuel's on-base streak is over due to a scoring change, Angels petition to reverse doesn't work

[Chuck]

Maybe this relaxes Schanuel at the plate a bit more so he can focus on game at hand and not pressured by an on-base streak.

@jsnpritchett have the Angels or MLB commented on this yet, or just a tweet from that official scorer account on x?? 

I don't think it's anything the team or the Angels would comment about. He wasn't all that close to breaking Alvin Davis' record, so no real reason for an official account to note when it ended.

My guess is that he didn't feel one bit of pressure due to the streak.

I don't know what's in his head. People deal with pressure differently. Time will tell. 

One thing is for sure, I'd like to see him start squaring up the ball more mixed in with his walks.

What a trash decision. Not only was it a week ago, but it was definitely a hit and he’s in the middle of a streak. Truly baffling

MLB has gotta be the only sports organization that will make an effort to retroactively make a bad call in a big moment.

This is so Angels.

And not retroactively make a good call in a big moment.

Agree.  I've been thinking the last several games that I wouldn't mind if the streak ended.  For a rookie, it would become a distraction at some point.

Why they hate us so much?

 

[bloodbrother]

Surprising it wasn't ruled an error during the game. Even more surprising they waited this long to reverse the decision

[Angels 1961]

Until I hear from my source (Rodger Lodge) the streak stands

Ridiculous to change a call this long after the play occurred.

Would someone post the play or let me know when this occurred? Thanks!

To promote the game you do whatever you can to build some sort of excitement. His on going streak should be the kind of thing the commissioner would have interceded and told them they cannot retract their call so late after the games conclusion.

Instead Manfred allows some dipshit to kill their ongoing promotional storyline. Stripping baseball of something to give all fans something to be interested in, especially to draw attention away from Ohtani's gambling scandal.

It was fun while it lasted, but I'm over it. 

[Slegnaac]

The scoring change doesn't benefit the Orioles pitcher so I am puzzled why the change was made.

All of the runs scored by the Angels are still Earned Runs for the Orioles.

They wouldn't be trying to improve Baumann's WHIP, would they?

Watching the pregame show, Salmon and Gubi were worked up about it

Sorry I missed it. I don't think that's an easy play and therefore I don't think an error should have been charged. That's what they call pretty much a "bang-bang" play. Yes, if the pitcher catches the ball, he's out but if you look at everything else: the distance the 1st baseman had to leap to get to the play, throwing the ball pretty much from his stomach, and where the ball was thrown to the pitcher. My wife says they basicallly didn't want Schanuel to continue the streak and changed the ruling. It's hard to disagree with her. 

[Erstad Grit]

So they don't give Galarraga a perfect game but they penalize Nolan.

I think it’s unlikely the people who made this decision (either Mountcastle to appeal it or MLB to change it) gave any thought whatsoever to Schanuel’s streak. 
 

I also really don’t think this streak was anything that MLB fans in general, beyond Angels fans, even knew about.
