Maeda doesn't pitch Sunday, it was just announced that he starts on Monday.

Edit: Sorry for the double post.

 

No problem. It happens all the time.

And a belated welcome to the gang!

Throws the same page twice in a row, one time it’s a strike one time it’s a ball

And a belated welcome to the gang!

Is the gang all here?

Chip away, chip away at the stone

Okay it’s Rock n Roll Friday

I see that the broadcast had a shot of the Royals' maskot a little bit ago.

All aboard!!! Hahahaha

 

 

...Ozzy

 

Is it just me or have the umps been markedly worse this year? I'm all for robot umps anyway, but it seems much more noticeable lately.

I haven't looked for any analysis of this but I have the same impression.

Putting mask in maskot, eh?

Putting the mask ON maskot.

a lot of umps opted out this season, I think we have a lot of minor league umpires

(since others are setting a good example with attribution)

 

Sullivan approves (now it is out of copyright) but Gilbert prefers his words.

Crazy!

but that’s how it goes

It's gotten so I expect a hard-hit ball up the middle to be fielded by the shifted infielder. Insufficient shift that time.

That was my impression too.

 

Takes a while for everyone to get at to the top of their game...

I guess that makes sense. 

 

The ironic thing to me is that we have the technology to measure how many calls they're missing. Sooooo... let's just use that technology? What am I not getting here?

Kansas City ever get Brockmire back? A little crude but that guys funny. Oh wait that’s a TV show

Ooh, that doesn't look good.

Doh.

 

Don't like seeing Jake go down there...

I guess that makes sense.

Umpire union

Jake isn't going to be putting this one in the scrapbook.

His face shows he's hurting. Don't try to be a hero. That was a hell of an impact.

Pitchers may be the best athletes but they sure ain’t the toughest

Jake got hit by a comebacker and is coming out.

 

And ya know things are serious when they focus on the injury over completing the play.

What a shame for Odorizzi. Unlucky injury year for him.
