Jon Lester threw out Ryan Braun trying to steal third, with his new bounce pass strategy.

Question for the crowd?
Under the current labor agreement, is it possible for there to be a player/manager anymore?
Seeing a story about Frank Robinson becoming player/manager for the Indians got me wondering why that gimmick had not been done lately.
I was trying to think of a player/manager after Pete Rose with the Reds and could not think of one. Was Rose the last one?

not sure about the CBA but seems like that's just too much work for one person, not sure why a player would ever want to take on that responsibility/pressure

yeah i think it's theoretically possible but will never happen again

A scoring change from March 30 awarded Scott Kingery a steal on a play that was originally ruled a wild pitch. So now, Kingery joins Jimmy Rollins as the only Phillies since 1900 with multiple hits and a steal in their MLB debut.— Matt Breen (@matt_breen) April 9, 2018

Molina suspended for one game. Jeez, MLB are some cranks; I think the poor guy's learned his lesson
― Evan R, Tuesday, 10 April 2018 21:09 (six years ago) link
bumping/shoving an umpire is an automatic suspension. that it's only one game suggests that MLB doesn't think it was malicious
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 10 April 2018 21:14 (six years ago) link
Apparently the d-bag manager pointed toward Yadi and referred to him with an “adjective”, I think that’s what set him off.
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 10 April 2018 21:17 (six years ago) link
he charged a manager from the dugout, shoved an ump and started to take a swing. It seemed pretty malicious to me. Has any player shoved umpires more and been punished less for it than Molina?
― Evan R, Tuesday, 10 April 2018 21:18 (six years ago) link
he didn't charge from the dugout? he wildly overreacted to lovullo's backhanded praise of his framing skills -- some version of 'fuck' is in every single sentence on a baseball field -- and tried to get at lovullo with the ump in the way
i mean, yadi is an annoying redass, but he didn't actually hit anyone
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 10 April 2018 21:37 (six years ago) link
ah, I got confused watching the video about his positioning. Still seems insanely inconsistent to me. Last year Willson Contreras got a two-day suspension for bouncing a helmet that accidentally hit an ump. Brett Lawrie once got four games for the same thing. One game for shoving an ump directly seems generous.

so dumb
not as dumb as last night's game though ;)

That game seemed excruciating for both teams, at least until the last bit. A lot of the Brewers/cards games have been like that so far! Must see, excruciating baseball

lost in the "Brewers have won nearly every game in the final at-bat" narrative is the "Brewers have blown every save opportunity so far" one

"Cardinals fans were fuming the other night, and for good reasons. Some didn't want to see him in a high leverage situation. Some didn't want to see him walk four batters."
Deep insight into the mind of a Cardinals fan.

Nolan Arenado is a big man, that is not someone you want to be go after you at 100 MPH, wow.

he does not look happy

makes more sense now:
The Rockies' Arenado, righthanded pitcher German Marquez and left fielder Gerardo Parra were ejected. Perdomo and catcher A.J. Ellis were tossed on San Diego's side.The Padres' Manuel Margot was hit by a pitch Tuesday night and placed on the 10-day disabled list with bruised ribs. The hits kept coming Wednesday with Rockies shortstop Trevor Story being hit in the first and Padres outfielder Hunter Renfroe getting hit in the second.
