I'm sticking with my prediction that George will be back with the Astros for the final year (2026) or year-and-a-half (2025 & 2026) of his contract.

especially if negotiations don't go well with Tucker...and if Bichette / Vlad Jr. leave Toronto
Unfortunately there won't be a spot for him with Dirden LF, Chas CF and Gilbert RF all producing at all star levels.

Don't sleep on Melton & Barber.

I love how we've written off Pedro.

I actually hate this. I think it's going to be an advantage for pitchers, especially if ABs go long. What can a batter do to try and get a pitcher out of his rhythm?

(cue farmer stats on spring training runs scored)

Can't a batter call time once in an AB?

And I guess technically the batter can step out as long as he's in at the 8 sec mark. This guy digs in at 14 sec so it's game on

Not sure if it's happened in the bigs or just college, but there have been some instances of the batter asking for time and not getting it.

Oh I'm wide awake on Melton and Barber. Daniels too. It's hard to find room for everyone when you grow them on trees.

That last pitch was horse***** A pitcher must come to a stop when pitching from the stretch. Peralta nowhere near stopped. That was a quickpitch.
no one on base so it doesn't matter

Just imagine how many games a year Springer will miss when he's 37. They'll pay him on a per-inning basis.

The hell it doesn't. It's an illegal move and should be an automatic ball with no one on base.
I admit I'm not up on the new rules about the windup, but with no one on base is any delivery considered from the stretch?

Why is it illegal? A balk is deemed to be the intent to deceive a runner. No runner, no balk.

an illegal pitch with no one on base is not a balk, its an automatic ball.

a "quick pitch" is illegal.

He was giving the Phillies a pep talk just a few days ago. The man will sell himself out for whoever's paying these days.

With bases empty it is not a balk. It is an illegal move by the pitcher and an automatic ball.

Quote:
Rule 5.07(a)(2) Comment: With no runners on base, the pitcher is not required to come to a complete stop when using the Set Position. If, however, in the umpire's judgment, a pitcher delivers the ball in a deliberate effort to catch the batter off guard, this delivery shall be deemed a quick pitch, for which the penalty is a ball. See Rule 6.02(a)(5) Comment.


Tell me he wasn't trying to catch the batter off guard.
Your beef is with the umpire. Didn't look like the batter complained, though it's possible he doesn't even know he can? I wonder if this is one of the things MLB is going to try and get rid of, though. Didn't Nestor Cortes do this crap all the time?

Agreed. Springer is one of my top 5 favorite Astros of all time.
