That’s it for me, guys. Yard work beckons.
Bring it home, GZ!
I’m still completely baffled by this play and the scoring decision. For anyone who didn’t see the play, here’s the clip.
Bot 6th - Seattle “Defensive substitutions”
Taken Out - Cal Raleigh, Julio Rodriguez, & J P Crawford.
Inserted - Luis Torrens C, Jose Caballero SS, & Dylan Moore CF
You rarely see an error charged when the OF never touches the ball
What the fuck does that mean?
Seattle has started pulling their starters, giving the Rangers every opportunity to take the lead and the division with it.
Servais has replaced his top 3 hitters in the lineup. Defensive substitutions. He also took out Kirby at 75 pitches with a shutout. Hopefully, the backups can hang on.
Fuck Servais.

Okay, pulled up the rule. I don’t see how you call that indifference. It’s a terrible play, but the defenders weren’t indifferent to the run scoring. That never gets called as an error, I get it, but that doesn’t make it a fielder’s choice–I think it makes it a goofy-ass home run.
FIELDER’S CHOICE is the act of a fielder who handles a fair grounder and, instead of throwing to first base to put out the batter runner, throws to another base in an attempt to put out a preceding runner. The term is also used by scorers
(a) to account for the advance of the batter runner who takes one or more extra bases when the fielder who handles his safe hit attempts to put out a preceding runner;
(b) to account for the advance of a runner (other than by stolen base or error) while a fielder is attempting to put out another runner; and
(c) to account for the advance of a runner made solely because of the defensive team’s indifference (undefended steal).

Seattle “B” team gets 3 Rangers out in the 8th…
#9 hitter, then Semien and Seager due up in the 9th.
Who is pitching for Seattle?
Thornton did the 8th. Hopefully, Munoz in the 9th.

Justice! Call overturned. Kyle Tucker, 30/30 player. Unless they change their minds again.

Fuck Servais. Trying to lose. It will do no good, but the Commissioner should know about this.
