@jjwsnaker23@EllyDeLaMuse They could have. People are just blowing the suspension out of proportion. Suspending a reliever for one game does nothing. He appeals it & gets to play while he waits & the Brewers use him in those games so by the time he serves the suspension he would need a day off anyways.
@AlexHossfeld@EllyDeLaMuse I think they are different levels of disrespectful. Some trash talk/celebration is part of the game. We can agree to disagree where that line is I guess.
@AlexHossfeld@EllyDeLaMuse I think the pitcher equivalent of this is striking a guy out and screaming as you walk off the mound “LFG” or something like that. Neither are typically directed at the other team or considered a lewd gesture.
@bryanman12355@EllyDeLaMuse Interesting interpretation to believe I’m dying on a hill for pretty calmly disagreeing with you once. But yes. I do think what Uribe did was worse.
@bryanman12355@EllyDeLaMuse I’m not saying PCA should or shouldn’t have been suspended. I just don’t think they are a 1 to 1 comparison and I get why the Uribe thing was treated harsher.
@EllyDeLaMuse It’s all about context and severity. Chirping is for sure part of it. Theres definitely a line though and I think gesturing for the other team to suck your dick from the mound is over that line. I think most people would be in trouble for doing this to somebody at their job.
@jefffcarr@willie_lutz I love the celebrating but Uribe was in an entirely different category. He’s a RP & he’s playing while appealing. He’ll pitch the next day or two & then serve the suspension during a game he was unavailable for anyways. It’s nothing. It’s a single spank & no dessert w/dinner.
@SewardEric@Fvlmer Only one option can be used per season and it covers the full season. So they can move Noelvi up and down as many times as they want for the rest of the year.
@PodcastDoesnt “They made Nick Martinez a starter” is quite the stretch. His MO has long been a starting pitcher who has the flexibility and ability to cover bulk innings out of the bullpen. He started 26 games last year. The Rays didn’t convert him to anything.
@TheBigBroTea@DougFrietchen@Sassygalshops The showrunner as a title on a tv show is the person in charge of the creative vision. Jeff is not the director/producer of the live broadcast. They have people on comms that are telling people when to do what. Jeff controlled the planning but not that aspect of the execution.
