I'm not one to defend Aaron Boone, but this kind of thing is why managers have to take blood pressure meds.... Yes, calling balls and strikes is a tough job....that's why they pay you the big bucks to do it. If you do a lousy job, you should expect to hear about it. You can't be so thin skinned that you feel the need to toss the manager at a perceived slight. In a way, this reminds me of when JT Realmuto got thrown out of a pre-season game against the Jays last year. He reached back for a new ball and after a few seconds, he moved his glove because the ump hadn't yet given him a new one. Then the ump decides to drop the ball into a glove that is no longer there.... Of course, the ump assumes that Realmuto is "showing him up" and gives him the boot.... Here's a tip for umpires: If you don't want to be "shown up", do a better job. BTW: I've umped hundreds of games myself. I've also reffed hockey and football. I know what the criticism feels like and if you can't take it, maybe it's not the thing for you.... Edited April 23 by RupertKBD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if you're familiar with the work of cartoonist Dave Elston, but he did a classic about that incident: The caption read, "Milliseconds before the complete destruction of Selma's coffee shop" It showed Koho at a diner (with his striped jersey on, or course) and a waitress asking, "Do you want a donut to go with that coffee?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Blue Jays call up: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/sports/mlb/blue-jays-recall-addison-barger-from-triple-a-buffalo/ar-AA1nAZGe?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=cd1ee8dd88fe4735bb894425429728c0&ei=9 Addison Barger is finally getting his shot. Sportsnet’s Ben Nicholson-Smith confirmed Wednesday that the slugging utility player is being recalled to the MLB roster and is expected to be active. The move was first reported by Johnny Giunta of the Gate 14 Podcast. Barger has slashed .314/.435/.586 through his first 19 games with triple-A Buffalo this season, spending time at third base and in right field. He has added 10 doubles and three home runs to the powerful Bisons offence. ---------------- "Kevin Kiermaier left last night’s game with hip flexor discomfort " 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would Toronto want to extend the lefty’s contract, and if so, what would an extension look like? Start with the obvious caveat: there are many factors that could affect that decision that are still in play. Kikuchi is currently playing like a Cy Young candidate, with a top-20 2.08 ERA (and a top-12 xERA). --------------------- So, two years, $40 million? Three years, $56 million? Or something more creative, like two years and $44 million with a team option for a third year at $18 million? ------------------------------------- Much MAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RupertKBD Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I thought Barger's debut was pretty decent, but I can't help being a bit disappointed.... It seems like every time another team calls up a prospect, the kid goes deep, or hits a walk off....We haven't seen anything like that since Davis Schneider last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really pooched his career. It's Ricky Romero all over again.....guys who look like stars for a season or two and then fall off the map for one reason or another. (The popular theory on Manoah is the pitch clock, but I think that's just a convenient excuse) I'm sure other teams have had this happen as well, but it sure seems like we're the ones who are snakebit... I suppose Jonathan Cheechoo would be a good example of the same thing in hockey.... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
