*gets hit by a strike

 

even the umpire (ron kulpa) admitted after the game that he got it wrong.

[Derwood]

A HBP in the strike zone should be treated exactly like a HBP while swinging. If it isn't in the rule book, it should be

It is in the rule book. Kulpa screwed it up.

 

The stupid thing is, he was calling it a strike before changing course mid-call and calling it a HBP. If he knew it was a strike, why did he change the call? Just a complete brain-fart, I guess.

Musgrove just threw the first no hitter in Padres history

 

10:1

 

Thats also 31 scoreless IP for him going back to last season

 

Vic has caught 2 no-hitters in the span of about 3 regular-season weeks

Ohtani is such a badass!

 

I love this dude's oppo power. He really understands his swing so well and hammers tailing 2 seams.

 

Then he blasted a shot 380 feet to RCF on a breaking pitch he was obviously fooled on and gave an "excuse me" swing on. Just missed a HR there.

Musgrove, Williams, Taillon have all looked incredible early on, so you can't even really just blame the old regime.

Red Sox-Twins postponed today for safety reasons due to another police shooting. 3 more day games this week, do they just move the rest of the series to another location?

Rodon perfect through 8.

Really shitty way to lose that

Off a LHP; albeit not a great pitch

Watching the Dodgers-Padres, and it's striking how horsefeathering fast the Padres are. Javy is our fastest guy, and the Padres have 4 or 5 guys even faster. A few of them significantly so.

That was a mighty blast from schwarber. The scoreboard shot feels a million years ago.

In the 12th inning of the Padres/Dodgers game, pinch hitter David Price hit a sacrifice fly off of Jake Croenenworth, who started at second base but also throws 90 MPH sinkers, which was caught by Joe Musgrove, honored before the game for his no-hitter last week, in left field. Also the benches cleared the inning before.

 

Baseball rocks and it sucks the Cubs are so bad at it.

Lot of 91-92s out of Flaherty in the Cards-Nats game so far. I see his velo is down 1-2 MPH across the board on all his pitches so far this year.

Wasn't it already down last year?

[We Got The Whole 9]

Burnes is kind of unbelievable. His stuff is filthy and he just notched his 40th K before he's issued a walk.

[Cubswin11]

Burnes is in God Mode Jake/2020 Yu mode right now. Good thing we miss him this weekend (not that we will hit VB pitching anyways).

[d_money]

Brewers are gonna be tough for the next few years.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Curious how they have to or will treat Burnes' innings this season. Combined between the minors and majors, the most innings he's pitched since 2018 is 116 and the most he's ever thrown is 145.

 

Is that setting up for future injury if they keep him in the rotation the entire season and they make the playoffs or is that not really how it works?

Yeah Woodruff hasn’t thrown more than ~120 innings in a season ever and he’s already 28 too, Peralta has only gone over 130 once in a season and that was back in 2018 and he barely passed 100 innings in 2019 and 20 combined. Woodruff and Peralta both have had some injuries in recent years too. Burnes, Woodruff and Peralta are all very talented, Burnes and Woodrufd especially, but they’re probably going to have to manage innings at some point this year and they’re still pitchers and could blow out at any time.

[SouthSideRyan]

Dinelson Lamet did what he does and got hurt 2 innings into his return.

[17 Seconds]

it's only regular season so who cares, but that twins loss today was unbelievable.
