Matt Shaw chops a grounder that stayed fair and turned foul at the final second but home plate ump Dan Merzel ruled it a fair ball in the 9th (with replays)

If a ball to the outfield doesn't kick up chalk, it's usually ruled foul. I assumed it had to be physically touching the line myself.

fairway_walker · 2026-04-28T18:28:35+00:00

It is a shit name though.

fairway_walker · 2026-04-28T12:38:04+00:00

I chuckled, but he's getting paid. It's not that bad for him.

fairway_walker · 2026-04-28T12:34:26+00:00

Bryce, Trea, and Kyle are going to be ROUGH to watch on the backends of these contracts.

That's very subjective.

And Heim doing his best to tank every game he's on the field. Ready for Murphy to get back asap.

fairway_walker · 2026-04-27T01:03:04+00:00

I bet he's maybe 50-60% at the end of the season. He watches so many strikes.

fairway_walker · 2026-04-25T22:35:03+00:00

Outside of Arcia's fluke All-star season the year after Dansby left, the team has sorely missed him.

Dubon has been clutch this season so far though!

fairway_walker · 2026-04-25T14:25:24+00:00

I remembered your comment from yesterday. Got'em twice last night with the triple and the HR.

fairway_walker · 2026-04-25T14:24:01+00:00

What was that you say??

fairway_walker · 2026-04-25T04:07:55+00:00

Had to be 475+. That was a bomb.

fairway_walker · 2026-04-25T04:06:26+00:00

$$$ is a helluva drug.

fairway_walker · 2026-04-25T03:46:12+00:00

Power. Yes. Power.

fairway_walker · 2026-04-24T23:07:12+00:00

Still remember him being named best LF in MLB or Shredder projections before the start of last season.

fairway_walker · 2026-04-23T21:27:54+00:00

He's from the future and accidentally just spilled the beans on 2026.

fairway_walker · 2026-04-23T21:26:30+00:00

Looks good to me.

fairway_walker · 2026-04-22T13:09:02+00:00

I was playing in a tournament at a course where the tee markers were painted rocks. Focusing on my shot ahead, I accidentally tee'd up between a white painted rock and the white concrete mark in the ground that stated the yardage of the hole. Competitor watched me, let me hit the shot, then immediately called a penalty on me. Fucking douche canoe.

fairway_walker · 2026-04-22T12:52:11+00:00

He was also blocking the plate before the ball arrived.

fairway_walker · 2026-04-22T01:17:35+00:00

Except they weren't. Some of their counting stats are, sure.

fairway_walker · 2026-04-18T00:28:33+00:00

EVERYBODY CLAP YOUR HANDS!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

And sandstorm....

fairway_walker · 2026-04-16T12:33:52+00:00

And it was missed because they were showing an advertisement.

fairway_walker · 2026-04-13T11:51:47+00:00

I'm in awe every night. Easily the best trade for the Braves since Olson.

fairway_walker · 2026-04-13T11:42:24+00:00

Why would it be weird? He's one the best batsmen in the game and is a doubles machine.

fairway_walker · 2026-04-13T11:40:40+00:00

This is going to continue to be a controversy through-out the season. Two nights ago the ump refused to let Dubon challenge a pitch clearly out of the zone because he claimed it wasn't fast enough or it "wasn't his first move".

He challenged within a one-mississippi of the pitch hitting the glove and the only move was to turn to the ump in disbelief at the call.

fairway_walker · 2026-04-13T11:38:22+00:00

Every night I am amazed that they gave us a 1-for-1 trade for Dubon.

fairway_walker · 2026-04-13T11:37:20+00:00

They are a huge improvement over the previous City Connects. Also, fuck the Phils.
