Also looks like we miss Scherzer in the Nats series.

Never root for injuries (in Syndergaard's case), but we could use a break from getting everybody's top-end guys for a little bit.

I hope every single player on the Pirates slides into first and takes him out today (nothing against Rizzo but that play was pretty bad, reminded me of the step under against Kawhi Leonard)

Umpires have been absolutely horrid...yep this was called safe, and the Dodgers didn't challenge.

Did he ever get tagged?
That's on the Dodgers

On the Dodgers for not challenging, but how did the home plate ump miss it in the first place.

It was at least as bad as this one although this one was a walk off (probably worse because at least Lugo touched the plate)

Want to know this and if he ever tried to touch the plate.
I guess he was outside of the base path anyway, considering he missed the base by more than a foot
In a perfect world the ump doesn't signal either way but if the Dodgers don't appeal they are basically conceding the run.

Yeah I didn't see the whole play, but it doesn't appear as if the ump makes a call, but I still don't know how the ump missed it. Catcher tags the guy on the knee, and runner is never close to the plate (at least a foot away), and my understanding of the rules is if the ump doesn't signal anything he doesn't believe the runner was tagged and he doesn't believe the runner touched the plate. If the runner just goes to the dug out isn't he out because he didn't touch the plate? It's like on a homerun, if the player misses a base or doesn't touch home doesn't he get called out.
The other team still has to appeal it.

Ah...how does that work with a walk off homer?

haha...i just noticed the catcher didn't have the ball so that's why the ump didn't call safe or out.

For discussion reasons, he has the opt out at the end of the year. His fast ball velo has steadily declined over the past few seasons, and this season he has already been disabled twice....have to think it would be better to just opt into the rest of the contract rather than opt out...
I know as a buyer, i'm not giving him the dollar amount he is going to ask for.

Hes got 2 more years at 32 and 33 million at his age 31/32 years.
He would still get a pretty lucrative deal if he opted out, but the years would be the main question. As we saw this offseason, the market for alot of players was dry. That will certainly be one of the bigger, more interesting situations to follow as free agency nears though.
Depends on the situation. But if the player doesn't touch home and is the winning run the other team still has to appeal it for anything to happen.
Isn’t he another guaranteed pitcher?
