Very surprised Adell didn't lose that in the lights or drop it or something

there's your ballgame

Yes it was as much a ball as it was a strike. Because human eyes are not computer grids. And you arguing this is plain dumb. 

"Thing A didn't happen because humans are fallible" is not the argument you think it is.

First of all, the umpiring I'm referencing has been the way its been done since the dawn of time. If a guy is all over the place, he doesn't get the borderline calls. If he's giving the hitter pitches to hit, the hitter has to defend the zone. Makes a hell of a lot more sense than zooming in on your computer to figure out if just 48% of the ball went through the box or 52%.

No it doesn't. Just have the computer call it.

Almost time for the window or aisle seat convo with Schanuel

Need a huge hit here from Nolan

what a play

Eh. I like when umpires kind of "punish" pitchers who can't find the zone and don't give them the borderline ones. Give the guy something to hit and let's get the game going. Lost art in umpiring now that we have the K-zone.

no just no

Rayswin dot com is furious at that call

uhhhh so who pitches the 11th?

all he had to do was lob it to Rendon...

lol the most angels thing ever

So this could happen.  He leads the league in wild pitches so far this year

Like I said, great call by Wash.

What are we doing here? What is this logic?

Trading Iglesias was Perry's worst move by far. What a ridiculous trade. 

Wash fucking rocks

If Neto and Schanuel both need more time at AAA, then this team is truly screwed this season--and potentially in the next couple.  If you're drafting guys because you think they're ready for the majors ASAP and then they're really not, your whole strategy kinda falls apart.

I've already written off this season mentally, so if they need 2-3 months to get right in AAA it's fine by me. 

More or less the ideal lineup. I worry Neto needs more time in AAA.

i remember posting that he'd be out of the league by 2021.

glad i was wrong about him.

I was furious we took him in the 1st round in that draft

If you told me 4-5 years ago that Ward would end up being a Very Good #4 hitter, I would've thought you were insane. 

Fuck, he pointed to his elbow.

Ippei pleading guilty to multiple federal counts. Feds have evidence that Ippei got into Ohtani's account without Ohtani's knowledge: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/10/business/shohei-ohtani-ippei-mizuhara-plea.html 

"Those briefed on the matter claim that prosecutors have uncovered evidence that Mizuhara may have stolen more money from Ohtani than the $4.5 million he was initially accused of pilfering, the people said. In particular, the authorities think they have evidence that Mizuhara was able to change the settings on Ohtani’s bank account so Ohtani would not receive alerts and confirmations about transactions, the three people said."

Soriano getting through 4+ good innings would be ideal.
