MLB Scoring Changes
MLB Scoring Changes@ScoringChanges·
🚨SCORING RULES ALERT🚨 This is from today's @tigers at @Mets game. Here, with Workman on second, Zach McKinstry hits a fly to left that lands, and Workman is thrown out 7-5 at third base. This was ruled a single, and the question has been asked as to why. First, this is the correct scoring, as this is a single. If this were a ground ball to short, and the runner is out 6-5 at third on a ball that would have otherwise been a hit, this would have been a fielder's choice, and the difference is in the wording on rule 9.05(b)(3), which says that you do not score a hit when a: (3) pitcher, the catcher or any infielder handles a batted ball and puts out a preceding runner who is attempting to advance one base or to return to his original base, or would have put out such runner with ordinary effort except for a fielding error. The Official Scorer shall charge the batter with a time at bat but no hit; The key is in the McKinstry play, the ball is handled by an outfielder, and not the pitcher, catcher, or any infielder. Another one of those fun weird scoring rules that is great to have in your back pocket for when it comes up.

Just saying, Willy Adames had his back turned, yapping it up with Mookie Betts for pretty much the entirety of Drew Gilbert's at-bat before he apparently forgot the number of outs and was doubled up at second base.

Head coach Nick Nurse will continue in his role into a fourth season with the 76ers, sources tell ESPN. Four-time NBA championship architect Bob Myers, the president of sports for Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment, will be tasked to lead the search for the new head executive for the 76ers and he will oversee the franchise's basketball department in the interim.

@gggiants Don’t stop there! It somehow gets worse over the next 3 years. And then there’s Tibbs, who they traded but looks like a star for the Dodgers

Joey Bart in 2018 (pick 2) and Patrick Bailey in 2020 (pick 13). It’s a wonder why this organization is stuck in a rut.

Willy Adames last 15 games 6-60 (.100), one double, 0 RBI, 24 SO Likely the worst contract in baseball and a huge reason why the Giants are 9 games below .500 in early May!

Matt Chapman has seven hits in 61 plate appearances in his last 15 games. Batting .135 with 20 strikeouts, 0 HR, and a .447 OPS over that stretch. He’s hit ONE home run this season. Owed $25 million dollars this year, under contract through 2030. 33 years old. Really bleak.

@PavlovicNBCS If they don't blow those three games, it's kind of amazing they almost went 3-3 despite being outscored 22-9.

That's the first winless two-city trip for the Giants since 2022. They got outscored 26-9 in six games and got walked off three times. Hard to have a more painful week on the road.

@jjcoop36 @susanslusser Historically, does this correlate with success for the big league squad a few years down the road or does it not mean anything?

Across their four full-season MiLB clubs, the Giants are winning at a .670 clip. Besides the Giants, only one MiLB team (the FredNats) have a winning percentage of .670 or better. baseballamerica.com/stories/4-intr…

The numbers from the trip are jarring. If they’re ready to make the Eldridge move, Giants could play Schmitt all over the infield while vets are struggling. At very least, their bench needs help, which is where Rodriguez makes a ton of sense (both were out of AAA lineup today):

@PavlovicNBCS Just think, if Eldridge hits a home run every single game, they'll be up to at least 2.5 runs per game! What a bonanza.

@Coach_Yac Completely hamstrung by god awful ownership that does not care about winning. But clearly not a particularly strong executive, either.

@Mark_T_Willard For me, lowest was that walkoff HR by LaStella. August 2020. Deep pandemic. Should have been first day of school for the kids. Record dropped to 8-16. Felt hopeless. But it started a turnaround that almost ended with playoffs. Hope this season turns around quick but it’s dire.

Excited to see Eldridge and Rodriguez for sure. Also a little annoyed that the timing of it feels like the #SFGiants are running interference on fan anger. It feels like an attempt to distract from what's happening. This is about as negative as I've ever felt about the team.

Joe Mazulla. “We didn’t take too many 3’s” Numbers don’t lie people do. Gross. 3 of his 4 years have been shockingly bad in the playoffs. Fact
