@ctmwright @JSchapiro_SBR @douglevy @JeffPassan I think 5.05b3 pertains to catchers interference calls tho... This must just come from the umpires manual?

[Philip Tapley Jr. @ptapbravos]

@ejmaroun @douglevy @JeffPassan @Jomboy_ I think that is actually misapplying a rule pertaining to catchers interference tho, 5.05b3

Had a fun and inspiring time at Morehouse today for the @BernieSanders rally

Another great start for @Folty25 tonight for the @Braves. I took a look at how he's improved so much this season, over at @OFRSports. Check it out. https://t.co/Y3Yfq3XkMe

[Philip Tapley Jr. @ptapbravos]

@_bg37 @TheBDanAbstract or since the deadline maybe?

[Philip Tapley Jr. @ptapbravos]

@_bg37 @TheBDanAbstract Is that a FG screenshot from earlier in the season?

[Philip Tapley Jr. @ptapbravos]

Ahead of @Folty25's Saturday start for the @braves, explore how he has taken a big step forward this year, via numbers and graphics. And words, but meh. For Outfield Fly Rule @OFRSports https://t.co/Y3Yfq3XkMe

[Philip Tapley Jr. @ptapbravos]

Not long ago, we wondered if @Folty25 would make it as a starter. Now, he seems a favorite to be the @Braves Game 1 Postseason Starter. How did this happen so fast? Click to enjoy a bunch of GIFs and graphics and find out. https://t.co/Y3Yfq3XkMe

@FourFourHipHop @Jervass But mlb needs to come up with a sensible consequence for pace violations and have them enforced uniformly, or drop the rule, in my humble opinion

[Philip Tapley Jr. @ptapbravos]

#Braves announcers kept coming back to the umpires allowing a reliever warmup tosses after the clock expired. A simple google search and skim reveals an explanation. It's not like this is their jobs or anything (h/t @Jervass )

[Philip Tapley Jr. @ptapbravos]

@FourFourHipHop @Jervass don't think the "to prevent injury" clause will come up much. In the case tonight, a pitcher was clearly going to be subjected to something unsafe bc of a dumb thing someone else did. That's probably the point of that aspect of the rule.

[Philip Tapley Jr. @ptapbravos]

@FourFourHipHop @Jervass I actually think the catch rule is an example of the NFL doing what MLB will not, in painstakingly making concrete definitions of a hard to define thing. Baseball always allows grey areas, and for inconsistent and subjective enforcement of rules by umpires.

[Philip Tapley Jr. @ptapbravos]

@hula5150 @MattGelb it's actually in the rules that the umpire has discretion when injury is a concern, thankfully. Link: https://t.co/eWQy3IIRIe

[Philip Tapley Jr. @ptapbravos]

@scottcoleman55 @bravescody I also had my mind blown for a moment

[Philip Tapley Jr. @ptapbravos]

@grantmcauley though it is in the rules that the umpire has discretion about this right?

[Philip Tapley Jr. @ptapbravos]

It must have been tough to take the blame for not having a pitcher up in the pen before calling for him, and also making a postseason prediction for the team that you yourself manage. https://t.co/rHLCVASh7X

[Jim Salisbury @JimSalisbury215]

Kapler took full responsibility for communication snafu between dugout and bullpen. He said he needed to do a better job. He also said Phillies would make postseason in 2018.

Ryan Flaherty spent the spring with the Phillies and did not make roster due to a numbers crunch. He is now with Atlanta and has six hits, including three doubles, and three runs scored in first three games.
