Around the Majors - 2022 Version

The Pirates really jerked him around this season. They kept down for service time considerations, and then he did'nt hit much in AAA, but ALSO kept him down to remove Super Two. He was magically up 3 days after his Super Two designation was up. One would have thought the players could have gotten rid of all these service time shenanigans.

Well the Pirates as an organization suck ass. What are the odds that if Oneil is any good that he's on the Yankees in 6 years?
 
I was trying to Google this last night and didn't have any luck: was Eddings the guy who pissed off the Braves because he exchanged a high five with the Marlins catcher after they beat us, or was that someone else? I think it wasn't him, but I couldn't track down the identity of the umpire. That did happen, right?
 
Also: Top of the 8th, two outs, bases loaded, 3-2 count, ball is called a strike, in a game that ended up decided by one run, is just about the sine qua non of bad umpire calls. That's some real chef's kiss stuff.

I believe that was Bill Hahn.

They really need to put a little more mathematical thinking into these things. The first obvious improvement is to stop simply counting missed strikes/balls, and start tallying up strike/ball probabilities. Missing a strike call that is called a ball 40% of the time is not as bad as missing a strike call that is called a ball 1% of the time. This is how catcher framing and fly ball catching metrics are calculated, so it's not exactly cutting edge math.

Did you see the Blue Jays hitting coach was thrown out today while exchanging line up cards before the game started. They are still heated

Ah, so it was. Looking into this, I was reminded that it was part of a lengthy feud the Braves had with Hahn that year —he ejected EOF, Chipper and Bobby in a game at Boston after missing a strike three call and kicked out McCann and Bobby in Miami.
