week 11

.....but why would anyone care if I pick up Welington Castillo to replace Aaron Crow?

Keep your hands off my prospect. [-X

 

(I realize you were just using that as an example.)

 

 

Yeah, I was going to use Darwin Barney, but I could only remember his first name at the time.

My matchup with Kevin seems bizarre enough I don't know who won. CBS shows Garland with 25 points and no earned runs, but other box scores show 4 ERs. CBS showed an error charged to San Diego but other box scores don't. According to the game story on the Padres' web site, with two outs and bases loaded in the first Padres' 3B Lance Zawadzki (in his first career start) double-clutched and threw late, allowing one run to score. Matt Wieters then hit a 3-run double. If the play was an error (which, from the description, it sounds to me like it should be) all 4 runs are unearned; if it was a hit all the runs were earned. It may be that the official scorer changed the original call and not everybody has corrected the box scores yet; if so I don't know what the direction of change was. And our matchup was close enough that the entire outcome hinges on this one play.

According to another story I found the play was first ruled an error but the official scorer changed the call to a hit after the game (he probably looked at a replay and concluded that the batter would have been safe anyway). So it all depends on whether CBS catches the change before the week's scores are posted as final. This could be the Roadkill equivalent of Galarraga's should-have-been perfect game. :D
