It's not interfering with the catch but it's interfering with his ability to go after the ball

The batter should be allowed to the attack the catcher during any dead ball situation.

We have our own shaky closer, thank you very much. Raisel Iglesias was getting a night off. Minter's been pretty decent, but ye gods is he not a closer.

Regardless of result, sound the trumpets that Max Fried Is Officially Back. He didn't give up a hit in six innings and how has a 15-inning scoreless streak.

Does anybody want to tell me what GOMS, TOOTBLAN, and any other weird thread acronyms mean? Googling that stuff doesn't bring up poo poo about baseball.

bawfuls posted:

Terrifying things about the Dodgers -

- Half of their starting rotation is injured, but some could be back soon.

- The bottom half of the lineup has started hitting.

- If Ohtani, Freeman, Betts, or Smith are cold for a couple games, it doesn't matter because Ohtani, Freeman, Betts, or Smith will be hot enough to compensate.

- Ohtani and Betts keep trading the one and two spots in league leading hitting stats.

GOMS = GO MarinerS, which I think is just a SAS thing

TOOTBLAN = thrown out on the bases like a nincompoop

TOOTBLAN is an early baseball internet phrase which i am pretty sure was invented to insult Ryan Theriot

e: the GOMS variation GOMeS is used to celebrate veteran Chicago Cubs catcher Yan Gomes.

They are somehow still 18-11 after losing 60% of their starting rotation and the two OPS+ leaders from 2023 to injuries. This Cubs team is deep.

goms is an internet millennial M's fan thing, it's definitely not just SAS. The first places I saw it were on the M's SB Nation site, Lookout Landing, and Dave Cameron's old site, USS Mariner.
