As Bowman also added, demoting someone over an injury would also draw the attention of the union. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknøwn Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 MLB didn't change any rules but they sent some clarification out. On malfunctions of the PitchCom units that allow the pitcher and catcher to communicate electronically, players must immediately inform umpires, who can grant time and stop the ticking clock. PitchCom has become a vital tool for players since its introduction last year. Perhaps as soon as this week, sources said, the league is expected to approve its use by pitchers, who with it could call their own games. • New standards will be enforced for bat boys and bat girls, whose ability to quickly retrieve equipment will help efforts to speed up the game, according to the memo. The league will evaluate the performances of bat boys and bat girls and could ask teams to replace them if their performance is considered substandard. • On brushback pitches and "big swings" -- which either knock equipment out of place or land a player splayed out on the ground -- umpires will delay the start of the clock and, if the clock operator starts it early, have the ability to wave off the timer. In situations where pitchers find themselves away from the mound -- whether to cover first base or back up throws to home or third base in foul territory -- the 30-second between-batters clock will be delayed. It restarts when the pitcher making a play at first is back on the infield grass and one backing plays up is in fair territory. • Leniency for catchers who end an inning on base or at-bat. Umpires could turn off the 2-minute, 30-second between-innings clock at the 30-second mark if the catcher has made a "reasonable effort" to abide by the timer. If it reaches that point, a catcher will be allowed to receive one warmup pitch from the pitcher and make a throw down to second base to ensure he, too, has warmed up his arm. • Placing the onus on hitters to restart the clock if they take a timeout. Hitters may call time once in an at-bat, and previously the clock was starting from 15 or 20 when players stepped into the batter's box and were alert, leading to pitchers potentially holding the ball for long periods of time. Under the new guidelines, a player, regardless of where he is standing, must indicate to an umpire that he is ready to resume play, at which point the umpire will tell the operator to wind the clock.

I don't like it at all. Arcia is nothing to write home about. Honestly disappointed in this move. Malachore and ATL Fan in the DMV 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boise Falcon Fan Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 On 3/21/2023 at 6:50 AM, Unknøwn said: According to DOB, it was partially a depth move to save Adrianza from leaving. Here's part of the story, can't post the full article or Arthur Blank will be mad at me If they had kept Grissom or Shewmake to play shortstop — Shewmake likely would’ve platooned with Arcia; Grissom would’ve been more of an everyday starter — then Adrianza, who was on a minor-league contract, has enough service time that he could opt for free agency rather than accept a minor-league assignment. Other teams are looking for players with Adrianza’s versatility and experience at this point in spring training. That's a bad decision then. Adrianza should not be the reason Grissom isn't up. If Adrianza is so valuable, trade him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K26dp Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Looks like Soroka from his AAA starts… stuff looks great, command comes and goes, classic case of needing to knock off the rust. Not worried about injury, at least no more than any other pitcher. Leaves after 36 pitches and defensive misadventures behind him: Tigers up 2-0 on two unearned runs.

An overthown ball from the outfield to third that allowed a runner to score. Soroka got two wild pitches against him that looked like they could have been fielded by the catcher.

Unknøwn Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 If you missed it during the dark ages, Iglesias is beginning the season on the IL. Nick Anderson will likely take his spot and I would assume Minter will fill in for his closer role. Shuster and Dodd will make the Opening Day rotation. Wright is expected to be ready for the first homestand of the year but the Braves will need Dodd/Shuster to fill in for at least 1 start. The other will stay as the #5 SP. labradford 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
