Can Jim Leyland still issue a challenge to give Armando Gallaraga his perfect game back?

We're just gonna have to have one of our guys throw another one.

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 23m
All five #Tigers SPs in top 15 in AL in Fielding Independent Pitching. Sanchez 1, Scherzer 3, Fister 10, Porcello 12, Verlander 15.

Not bad. Not bad at all. Good to have our #1 starting tonight against the Royals.

Well the way cards are hitting that's pretty much the ball game

Seems instant replay challenges in 2014 are official:

Ugh, worst possible way to do this. Just have a 5th umpire in the press box with a walkie talkie and a 80 inch tv. No need for umpire bathroom breaks and this dumbass challenge system.

Hey, we took Dontrelle Willis too!

Man, I really hope Detroit re-signs him. We're already all-in on our #5 starter Verlander and Prince Fielder, might as well spend the big bucks on someone who will actually deliver.

Robot calls balls & strikes behind home plate, home plate ump moves to the booth and handles replays. They don't even need a 5th ump.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Boone Logan sucks.

 

[harSon]

Good ol' Hurdle letting his pitcher get mugged again

 

[Jack Scofield]

Way to seize an opportunity, Giants.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Couldn't have picked a worse time to give up a HR, Rosenthal.

 

[jakncoke]

Lets go Pirates!

Finally, pitcher Jeff Gibbs was released. He was originally drafted by the Diamondbacks last year in the 9th round, getting released in Spring Training and then he signed with the Pirates. In ten appearances, he somehow went 2-0 with a 14.46 ERA and 17 walks in 9.1 innings. He issued at least one walk in all ten games. Gibbs gave up 35 walks in 21.1 innings last year.

lol jesus

 

[Little Green Yoda]

@dgoold: In their past 10 games vs. #Cardinals, #Pirates now have 14 home runs to the #stlcards ... zero.

welp

I would argue that would be a huge waste as well, you can easily just have the one central hub for all the games and umpires completely independent from the ones on the field just watch the play and make the call (you know instead of sending them video so the umps on the field have to wait and watch the vita)... that also removes the chance of the head umpire not wanting to admit he made a mistake as well.

Robot calls balls & strikes behind home plate, home plate ump moves to the booth and handles replays. They don't even need a 5th ump.

I really don't want to see robot umps for balls and strikes, as foul nicks, HBP and if they swung or not aren't picked up that well by robot umps.

dammit marte and so so close walker

I think Siegrist is our only good bullpen arm left so you guys will probably win since we can't hit a HR if our lives depended on it. Your bullpen is crazy deep.

lest hope Siegrist can go a few if we need him to

 

[jakncoke]

ump strike zone moving in and out as if its on a ocean wave

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Time for Holliday to pad his GIDP total.

 

[jakncoke]

Bout to lose the game and series

 

[harSon]

Well that's game. Here comes the sac fly...

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Well that's game. Here comes the sac fly...

He hits more groundballs and has 27 GIDPs already.

 

[aFIGurANT]

Time for Holliday to pad his GIDP total.

If there was ever a time to not do that - this is it.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Wow, very surprised. Very pleased. Only 2 games out. That Pirates/Reds/Pirates stretch coming up looms large.

 

[RGVNOE]

yea baby walk off wins, and both in extras

 

[harSon]

We've been Hurdle'd again. It's been a while. Swap pitchers you gum chomping fuck face.

 

[Branduil]

Just give umpires Google Glass with a pitch trax overlay.

Didn't he put in the second Morris in there after Watson had gone four? For the twelfth inning I mean?

 

[Little Green Yoda]

I think he's referring to leaving Burnett in to die on the mound in that 5 run inning.

 

[jakncoke]

When the fuck is Wandy ever coming back ffs

 

[Chuck]

omg just saw Puig's throw from yesterday. Dude fell on his face throwing a ball to get a runner out. Amazing~ <3

edit: holy shit he stretched a clear single into a double to score the winning run.

Only thing more exciting is a Jim Johnson blown save.

I was about to say why are the Washington Expos having Clippard close a game, but it was Soriano that blew it.

 

[Jack Scofield]

This looks like the Giants that won the World Series last year. Hot damn at that catch.

 

[Square Triangle]

Finally, Prince.

 

[Square Triangle]

Wonderful base running..

 

[KidA Seven]

Only thing more exciting is a Jim Johnson blown save.

Puig should have 4 of those by now. 2 of them were incorrectly ruled safe due to the tag happening on the body/leg instead of near the base. One against Harper and the other against the Cubs (I think).

Yankees sign Mark Reynolds.
