Well I was gonna ask

Any word on when Lobstein is going to debut?

And I am sure its for Princeton right?

by joeybw on Aug 19, 2008 7:46 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

No word

But I doubt he gets much action this season either way.

He reported to Princeton, but won’t pitch this season.

well that sucks

I doubt he will make his first ever start for Colombus so he wont even get full season ball next year.

by joeybw on Aug 19, 2008 7:56 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

That would have been unlikely anyway

Even when the pitcher is a stud, the AFRO has kept HS pitchers in short season for at least a full year. Don’t expect to see him make a full-season debut until 2010.

Even the old org did this though

Davis, McGee, Hellickson, Waechter, etc. The only HS pitcher I can think of who skipped short season was Houser.

Not the Mets

There are a few others as well. Some teams just universally skip their better prospects over short season, especially the ones who value prospects as trade bait more than as future pieces of the team, since a prospect’s trade value is increased if they have better ARL.

And not much point in potentially starting any arbitration clocks early, either. Not in a lost season anyway. He’s a serviceable arm out of the pen I suppose.
He started for the Rockies on Opening Day somehow…

Shields isn't pitching that good at all.

The only reason why he hasn’t been shelled is because of some excellent defense. I don’t want to see him come out in the 6th. He’ll have to face Vlad again.

Never

They never get anything but a letter on file. Both the home plate ump and 1st base shithead should be held accountable. Home plate should be able to overrule that since he has the same point of view.

by Jason Collette on Aug 19, 2008 8:50 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Exactly

Absolutely no reason for that call. I thought the player had to cross back over the foul line to be tagged out for intent to run to second. Secondly Bossman turned back towards the plate. That ump needs to get off his knees and wipe his chin after he is done blowing this game.

Rule 7.08

Any runner is out when—
(a) (1) He runs more than three feet away from his baseline to avoid being tagged unless his action is to avoid interference with a fielder fielding a batted ball. A runner’s baseline is established when the tag attempt occurs and is a straight line from the runner to the base he is attempting to reach safely; or
(2) after touching first base, he leaves the baseline, obviously abandoning his effort to touch the next base;

Rule 7.08(a) Comment: Any runner after reaching first base who leaves the baseline heading for his dugout or his position believing that there is no further play, may be declared out if the umpire judges the act of the runner to be considered abandoning his efforts to run the bases. Even though an out is called, the ball remains in play in regard to any other runner.
This rule also covers the following and similar plays: Less than two out, score tied last of ninth inning, runner on first, batter hits a ball out of park for winning run, the runner on first passes second and thinking the home run automatically wins the game, cuts across diamond toward his bench as batter-runner circles bases. In this case, the base runner would be called out "for abandoning his effort to touch the next base" and batter-runner permitted to continue around bases to make his home run valid. If there are two out, home run would not count (see Rule 7.12). This is not an appeal play.
PLAY. Runner believing he is called out on a tag at first or third base starts for the dugout and progresses a reasonable distance still indicating by his actions that he is out, shall be declared out for abandoning the bases.

Basically, that is the rule that retard screwed up. There was no intent to go anywhere – he didn’t even take a step in a perpendicular direction toward second base.

He wants BJ to know he has his back when he plays hard.

that’s why he should’ve gotten thrown out. It’s also nice that it was for B.J. Somewhat aprapos.
