So the Rangers claimed DJ Peters off waivers today. He was DFA'd by the Dodgers last week.


He was the 15th ranked prospect in the Dodger's top 30.

So Suter 7th, Williams 8th, and Boxburger 9th.  No problem for 10 days.  They can survive that. Might not even need relievers vs the current Pirates squad.

Tim Timmons calls a weird strike zone. He rang up Reynolds with a called strike on a sinker that was below the zone, then gave Stallings a called ball on a sinker that hit the top of the zone and should have been a called strike.

Just remember, if you're in a situation where you've loaded the bases and then walk in a run, fake an injury so it becomes the next guy's problem.

I think that baseball has room for both instant replay AND robo umps.

I can see a lot of current umps quitting over it, not that that is a bad thing in a lot of cases.

I'm at the point where I'm willing to try robo-umps, but I never wanted replays and based on how MLB has handled that, I can't imagine they would get robo-umps right.

Yeah. I was reading an article from March saying it was tried in a couple independent league and this year it would be used in the Southeast Low-A games. Players had mixed reviews of it and the system has a problem tracking breaking balls at times.

The article recapped some of Manfred's other stupid idea that he's rolling out in 2021 to experiment with in the Minors before he forced them in the Majors.

Fuckin' Manfred.

Here's my idea in lieu of robo-ump. I call him the Astro-Ump, or camera-ump. The ump calling the zone watches through this camera angle for help with calls. Perhaps he even has a booth with quick replay ability.
