iamshack Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 15, 2012 -> 03:27 PM) Closer madness continues: David Robertson to the DL with an oblique strain I wonder if he is one of those guys that can't pitch in the 9th himself, or if this oblique issue came up concurrently with him sort of moving into that role...guy has been lights-out for 2 years now basically and as soon as he moves into the closer role he s***s the bed and then goes down with an oblique... Looks like it was going to be Soriano going forward regardless of the injury to Robertson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddy Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 per Rotoworld: Stephen Stasburg was bothered by stray Hot Stuff in his groin during Tuesday's loss to the Padres. Hot Stuff is an analgesic ointment like Icy-Hot that is often used as a muscle-loosener. But it can cause quite a bit of pain when applied to ... more sensitive skin. "I can’t really tell you what the problem was, but some Hot Stuff got misplaced," manager Davey Johnson said. "It was on his shoulder and evidently – I don’t know how it got to where it got, but it was uncomfortable, to say the least." Strasburg allowed four runs in four innings. LMAO!

witesoxfan Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Eh, it's a long season. It wouldn't be a practical joke, but when funny s*** happens, you have to laugh. It's early in the season, the Nats aren't in a free fall, and they've played pretty well all year. Laugh it up and take the field tomorrow.

StrangeSox Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) I guess there was a strike called right before that that wasn't even close, too. Maybe the ump's ego didn't like Lawrie heading down the line before the call was made? http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/article/...-human-element/ Edited May 16, 2012 by StrangeSox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoSox05 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I thought it was a bad call, but Brett Lawrie acted like a spoiled brat. It's like dude calm down, you're good, but you are also a rookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm sure he'll be sitting for a while, and should be. But enough of this "old school" umps with huge ego crap who don't want players to 'show them up' by assuming a pitch a foot off the plate is a ball and then making a vindictive call against them on the next pitch.

Your job is to call balls and strikes, not enforce yourself into the game. Three baseball umpires are having lunch together. The first umpire says "Well, a lot of them are balls, and a lot of them are strikes, but I always call 'em as I see 'em." The second umpire says "Hmph. I call 'em as they are." The third umpire slowly looks at his two colleagues and declares "They ain't nothin' until I call 'em." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
