Upon finally seeing it not an egregious move.

Here's the answer to that, at least in the NL where there is no DH. You can wear whatever the fuck you want at the plate, but you have to wear the same gear when you take the field. That would be the end of that.

But I don't really see it as a problem right now the way it was with Bonds, et al at the height
of the steroid era. It's not like batters are standing on the plate and destroying pitchers these days.

If a batter gets hit by a strike, it's a strike, that's a rule. If the batter gets hit by a ball and the ump doesn't think he did enough to get out of the way, he can call it a ball. Call the ump a douchebag, it was his decision to award it. The ump hardly ever will, just like they'll hardly ever call the stupid area play at 2nd base. That's the way baseball works.


I think I've only seen an umpire nullify a HBP one time in my life and that was when Joe Crede was ruled to have stuck his elbow in front of a ball on purpose, I think against Oakland.

If I remember my baseball history correctly,when Don Drysdale was working on his consecutive scoreless inning streak Drysdale hit a batter with the bases loaded. However the ump determined that the batter did not make an effort to get out of the way so the hitter was brought back. Drysdale ended up getting out of the inning unscathed.

You would be correct. And the second base Ump could and should have done the same thing in this instance.

Why would anybody believe this? You were already caught lying about playing with a guy who ended up in the pros.

Football players and hockey players should have to lose their protective gear as well. Pussies!

if scherzer wouldn't have shaken off the catcher's first 2 pitch calls maybe he doesnt throw that pitch.... in less than a second scherzer shook off the catcher more times than mark buehrle has in his entire career.

Yeah, if you're Max Scherzer, you don't get criticized for shaking off a catcher.

You seem to be connecting the fact that he shook off his catcher with the fact that he blew his perfect game.

I make the comment by stating if he hadn't shaken off his catcher multiple times throughout the game, he might not have been in a position to throw a perfect game in the first place.

Lesson here. Tabata did nothing wrong. Screw the unwritten rules. Max should have not thrown inside on him with a perfecto on the line. Throw a true strike and get him out. Done. This whole story is overblown like a sloppy drunk blowjob.
