Ozzie or Olson would have been excellent choices, but the player also has to agree to do it. falconsd56 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just never been a fan of any in-game interview. Booth, dugout or field I personally prefer focus to be on the action. I know this stuff needs to happen though. MLB has to market players more.

ATL58 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 4 hours ago, Unknøwn said: Final scorecard will come later but a little preview.. As a long time umpire myself, if his biggest miss was 4 1/2 inches that’s not bad. Especially on the outside corner when he is set up on the inside corner. It’s all reference points on those calls. It has always been my experience that players and coaches aren’t as concerned with accuracy as they are consistency. If you’re gonna give 4 inches off the plate give it all the time to everyone. Historically there has always been a “book” on MLB umpires as to the dimensions of their strike zone. Ed Montague had a tight zone but was extremely consistent. And then there is Angel Hernandez….

Unknøwn Posted April 8, 2022 Author Share Posted April 8, 2022 Braves might as well of had the pitcher at 9 last night. Dansby was the first Brave to K 4 times on Opening Day in over 100 years. He went 0 for 4 with 4 Ks. Luckily for us and him, it's a long season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How lovely of Dan to recreate a pitcher batting in the ninth spot with strikeouts now we've gone with the DH in NL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redjack Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I have a feeling we’re going to look really sluggish at least until Acuña gets back. I can’t really put together a lineup without him that I feel confident in right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was done between innings and stuff like that that would be fine but not during the actual game while he's in play. He definitely was entertaining no doubt about it but the fact that there were conducting an interview while he was trying to do his job to me was just ludicrous.

falconsd56 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Since they are carrying three catchers I wouldn't mind seeing Contreras get a shot as a DH until Acuna is back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling Snit is going to rotate all the bench guys through it and rest some guys that way during April. I dont think we'll see a consistent DH until Acuna returns and pushes Ozuna out of LF. falconsd56 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd feel more confident with him than Arcia of all people. I want Contreras to get some decent ABs if he is gonna be up here. falconsd56 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
