No... it was perfectly legitimate that he did it in that order. Since Chas was on deck instead of Toro, an explanation was needed. I don't know if there is an actual "penalty" for the wrong guy on deck.
I wonder if Dusty wanted to keep it RLR which is why he had Toro go in front of Chas? Seems like the big board had it wrong too per the broadcast.
So Jose had the covids. And you had idiots on here suggesting it was the MLB doing their usual hit job on the stros. But seriously, the Commish played it right. It's probably going to take another 8 days once in the lineup for Tuve's body to feel right. Nice homer from Tucker don't care if it was from a fan pitching just need that confidence booster.
Good job by the offense by giving him run support right from the beginning. Probably made it alot easier for him. And good job by Emanuel by going the distance and not forcing Baker to go to the bullpen .
That was stupid good. Remember when the Astros would seemingly always flail around any time they faced a pitcher making his debut? That's what just happened to LAA.
Before Player A/B takes the field, doesn't the team have to report who A/B are subbing in for, and then they're in the lineup? eta...nevermind, don't care enough. bbq time.
Yes. But since neither player had batted no rules was broken yet. It was clearly discovered prior to Chas/Toro plate appearance, so the only thing that was technically wrong was the wrong guy was in the on deck circle.
No...the issue is that no Astro games were postponed although 1 player was positive and 4 others in contact. The Twins had a player test positive on 04/17 and another a few days later. 3 Twins games were postponed.
Yeah I think that's what originally had me wanting the commissioner exiled. But they stayed afloat around .500 so I'm easing up on my position.
