Expand The catcher is not permitted to block the runner's path to the plate unless he is in possession of the ball, though blocking the path of the runner in a legitimate attempt to receive a throw is not considered a violation. The runner can be ruled safe if the umpire determines the catcher violated this rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good fortune to avoid him if they can end up sweeping the Giants going into a crucial series with the Twins Monday.

brijames1957 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Cease with 81 pitches through 4. He has to improve on this. A quality starter has to give you 7 innings pretty consistently. The BP will have to cover at least 4 innings today which is not good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Zavala with the Tony Gwynn serve into LCF. Cease looks like he's going 5 again unless he works extremely fast as the order flips a third time through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) Cease continues to maintain that highest whiff rate in baseball on the slider... Who will be the first out of the pen today?

ron883 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I see Laurence Holmes is doing pre and post today. He's always hard on TLR on his radio show (rightfully so). I wonder if he has to hold back a bit on pre and post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 If the White Sox do fall out of this...they really need to protect Cease and Kopech at all costs. Seven consecutive 100+ pitch starts doesn't usually end well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
