I might just be tuning into the wrong games, but I've seen a lot of straight garbage umping so far. Not like "how come you didn't call that borderline call the way I want!" type garbage, but a strike down the middle is a ball and a ball 5 inches of the plate is a strike kinda garbage. The JaysxRays game yesterday was horrendous too

Totally normal and sane reaction to a bunt smh
So that was not a “reaction to a bunt”. I guess it’s a rays account, so they are going to try to make the jays player look bad here - and shoving him was probably not the right reaction - but dude got thrown out a 3rd, overran the bag and then bumped into Cabrera who was backing up the play and then starting jawing at him. Cabrera did get physical after the yapping - but he’s not the one who originally got bent out of shape over nothing, and I don’t think anything here really had anything to do with the bunt.

Look I hear you, Caballero is known for being a shithouser. I chose that account cos it wasn’t one of the Jomboy-associated ones that has been promoting Trevor Bauer for months.Caballero, when he was a Mariner, would fuck about with his pitch clock timeouts a ton. Last season he tried it with Gerrit Cole and the entire AB was incredible. Cole turned around and looked the other way while he was fucking about and then Cole struck him out and wagged his finger at the Mariners dugout in a very I Think You Should Leave fashion.
Now Gerrit Cole and José Caballero will be seeing each other much more frequently in the AL East. pic.twitter.com/ginb2BV4Yi https://t.co/wccyMLxYdg— John Sparaco™ (@JohnSparaco) January 5, 2024

It’s not you. I wonder if the pitch box has more statcast “accuracy” than before and so the error bars for human umps are smaller

Hicks looked vry good today. Conserved the speed on his pitches, looked like a proper starter. If he can keep that performance up, then the Giants are gonna get crazy value out of that contract

New mlb app feature I'm really liking: every (or at least most?) Player had a "story" reel which shows the results of all their most recent ab's. Zoomer tech used right imo
Just click on the tip performers, or go to a players page and click the story button

Had some fun (?) following Mariners-Red Sox series this weekend. The game that just finished - only one in my timezone, pain of having two west coast teams had an unusual feature - the Red Sox starter (Whitlock) was a rule 5 pickup from the Yankees and the reliever who closed the game was a rule 5 pickup from the Mets. Clemenza or Shasta might know the minutiae but given a lot of rule 5s are basically lottery tickets, I feel the likelihood of that is quite high?Anyway, George Kirby remains elite and a sleep demon that haunts the dreams of batters. He’s got multi Cy Young potential if he stays healthy, so enjoy him now before he inevitably replaces Gerrit Cole as Yankees ace in a few years.https://i.postimg.cc/vH1vfmr5/IMG-8370.jpg

I posted about this in this necro thread:
The Oakland A's of Fremont new stadium talk
but it looks like the A's are heading to....
Sacramento for 2025-2028 (with an option for 2029) at the same stadium that used to be their AAA affiliate (currently SF's AAA affiliate).
It appears Vegas is still an eventual option but this makes me think that there are additional concerns, despite the Fantasyland-esque stadium concept art.
