edjr 5,121 Posted April 28, 2022 3 minutes ago, posty said: Correct... The umpire saw that with him turning towards second and the ball still not secure, that there could be a possibility... If I was umping, I wouldn't have called him out, but I don't have an issue with the actual result either... I mean look at the catcher... Soon as he got the ball and saw that Mancini turned in, he went to tag him... We don't know what the first base coach said... He might have been saying "No! No! Stay here!", which could imply that he was thinking about going and put that thought into the umpires thought process... So yes it is a judgment call by the umpire. That is the issue. An umpire that wanted to be be part of the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmh6476 605 Posted May 2, 2022 MJ Melendez was called up, after Cam Gallagher (Salvy's backup) sprained a hammy. I'd keep an eye on what they do with him if you're playing in a fantasy league. If he shows production they say he can play third or outfield as well with his athletic ability. With Mondesi hurt, it woudn't be a total shock if Bobby Witt shifts to short and Melendez gets some time at third while he is filling in for the injured Cam Gallagher.

paulinstl 295 Posted May 2, 2022 The Cardinals' top prospect, Nolan Gorman is tearing it up in AAA. He's hit 11 HRs already. He currently plays second base, transitioned from third when they traded for Arenado. Their current second baseman, Tommy Edmon can play short if they decide that DeJong needs to be moved or sat and they might call Gorman up to play second or even DH. Depending on your league rules, he could be a steal right now if you can stash minor league players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then I saw your post just now. Wish I had the game on but can't watch slow boring baseball most of the time. About time. Hope he can show some power now this season.
