6/18 (was 6/17)-MFY Word Association Fathers Day

[strek1]

NOT a strike Ump!

 

[soxin6]

Why can’t ESPN be honest and just call themselves YES 2?

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

So we’ve seen a balk, catcher interference and batter interference today.

 

[mauf]

Why has catcher interference seemed to become a more frequent occurrence? Are hitters cheating the back of the batters box more or are catcher reaching out more?

Maybe as part of trying to execute framing the C's are reaching out a bit more?

I think catchers are going to the ball more in an attempt to help frame the pitch for a strike. Then you have the players moving in the box depending what type of pitcher they're facing. Primarily a FB/sinker pitcher back in the box. Braking ball more forward in the box.

I googled around a bit and found this article. The author documents that catcher interference is on the rise, and attributes it to a combination of catchers setting up closer to aid in framing, launch angle swings being more conducive to interference, and hitters swinging at pitches deeper in the zone.

Nice catch Mantle

He’s not even Rizzuto

 

[Al Zarilla]

Imagine he's Cole, Raffy

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Crack one onto the motherfucking expressway, Rob!

 

[Ale Xander]

Unintentional intentional walk

 

[Moviegoer]

Bunt again?

 

[Al Zarilla]

Ref, who doesn't hit RHPs.

 

[Ale Xander]

Good time for a Jeterian bloop for 2 runs

 

[strek1]

Game day just stopped updating WTF?

 

[Ale Xander]

Ref, who doesn't hit RHPs.

Maybe Lef does

 

[twibnotes]

Tough call on 0-0

 

[Ale Xander]

Booooo

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Bounce one, you bastard!

 

[soxin6]

Should have sent up a pinch hitter, even in the fifth

 

[NYCSox]

Batting a guy who can’t hit RHP all that well after Devers is not a great call.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Maybe Lef does

Yeah, call him Lefsnyder. Dammit Cora.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

The irrepressible TRISTON CA$A$~!!

[Harry Hooper]

Casas kept his head in there nicely for the change.

 

[Ale Xander]

Short fence/fans screw us on the 3rd run

 

[patinorange]

Off speed for Casas. LOL

 

[InsideTheParker]

I am not going to be able to prove this, but lately this year Reffy has had some important hits against rhp. Not tonight, though.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Hey Karl, and every other announcer, it's an automatic double, not a ground rule double.

 

[Beomoose]

Casas broke GameDay with that one

 

[InsideTheParker]

Reyes, YES!

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

The inimitable PABLO REYE$!!

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Reyes! And Casas.

 

[strek1]

Casas broke GameDay with that one

Gameday was broken when Verdugo came up.

 

[patinorange]

Sweet.

 

[mikeford]

Amazing what having a shortstop who actually knows what the fuck they're doing can do for you

 

[brandonchristensen]

Game day is dead

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

I can’t watch and game day is broken, what happened after turner?

 

[The Filthy One]

Game day is stuck on Verdugo’s at-bat.

 

[JOBU]

Short fence/fans screw us on the 3rd run

[InsideTheParker]

I can’t watch and game day is broken, what happened after turner?

[nocode51]

I know, i can see the runs but I still don't know what actually happened.

 

[Al Zarilla]

I am not going to be able to prove this, but lately this year Reffy has had some important hits against rhp. Not tonight, though.

He's hitting .139 this year against righties. Maybe the five hits he has had were key.
