theatremouse May 4, 2022 Share May 4, 2022 Standard is 30 but it can be extended to up to 45 by the umpire, if and only if, the umpire notifies both managers as soon as the first game concludes and only if the ump feels they need the extra time in between for some reason. Like if the ump thought they needed 35 minutes, could call for that. It just can't go more than 45. 2 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2463-mlb-thread/page/302/#findComment-7434311

grommit2 May 9, 2022 Share May 9, 2022 Good grief! What's happening with the Red Sox? So many of their hitters are below the Mondoza line (.200). Only two are over .300. Plus I recall that the Sox owners were devotees of Bill James, the pioneering baseball statistician. Was it James who issued warnings about formerly star pitchers over 30 being risks for maintaining their previously superior performance? Thus, you do not give them long term contracts for a bajillion dollars. Just what they actually did with Price and Sale. And we see what happened to these two former stellar performers.

With what he’s done he barely gets any media coverage because he’s on the Angels. At least there was an article about his 100th home run, unfortunately it was at an A’s game where the stadium was mostly empty. Most Angels fans are in Orange County because the Dodgers own LA. The atmosphere in both stadiums are night and day because Angels fans are pretty chill and don’t fill the stadium like the Dodgers do. And Michelle Tafoya needs to go away.

cleo May 16, 2022 Share May 16, 2022 (edited) I was someone annoyed but it was more- there was coverage before the season even began about how he should be/would be the MVP this year. Last year there was media saying that he should automatically win MVP bc of hitting/pitching even if his numbers were mediocre simply bc he was doing both. Follow up question was- based on that logic Ohtabi should be MVP every year of his career simply bc he is pitching and hitting, again even if the numbers were kind of mediocre. Answer was yes. All of that is completely absurd imo. And so what I get tired of- like if he is playing well and hits home runs- then I understand the coverage. But the hysteria simply over his existence that comes and goes is a little over the top. But I agree since the season has started he hasn't gotten much attn, which is kind of ironic bc the Angels are doing well. He seems like a fun, likeable player from what I saw last year at the All Star game.
