Mendoza's beef was that the catcher was clearly standing on the plate without the ball. Intuitively, that would not be blocking the plate - Alonso did have access to the front of the plate. However, the league had previously stated that standing on the plate does constitute blocking the plate.Can I see a little Pete Rose - Ray Fosse action there please! If that isn't blocking the plate under these new pussyball rules, what is?
Exactly my point.Mendoza's beef was that the catcher was clearly standing on the plate without the ball. Intuitively, that would not be blocking the plate - Alonso did have access to the front of the plate. However, the league had previously stated that standing on the plate does constitute blocking the plate.
Yes per the memo that MLB sent out to teams that was a blocking/interference with the plate and should have been called safe.Question for the board: should Pete be safe since the catch block the base before catching the ball? I see two problems. One Lidor blocked the base and the runner was awarded the base. Second, to avoid collisions at home, the catcher can't block any part of the plate until he has received the ball. The catcher was standing on home plate while waiting to catch the ball
Hypothetical question- what if Alonso bowled the catcher over and knocked the ball loose? Is Alonso out?Yes per the memo that MLB sent out to teams that was a blocking/interference with the plate and should have been called safe.
If he was blocking the plate still? I'd say he's safe but I would have to re-read all the rules.Hypothetical question- what if Alonso bowled the catcher over and knocked the ball loose? Is Alonso out?
Mets usually never rush pitchers so this kid must be the real deal.Christian Scott will be making his MLB debut Saturday against Tampa!
Boy there are ton of assumptions here. The "kid" turns 25 next month.Mets usually never rush pitchers so this kid must be the real deal.
he just came out of college last year...that is a fast run to the showBoy there are ton of assumptions here. The "kid" turns 25 next month.
No it ain't. He's almost 25.he just came out of college last year...that is a fast run to the show
I'd be happy if he turned out to be a Dave Magadan typeI just don't see it happening with Baty. Might be timre to develop soneone else for that position. If you're playing a power position yet don't show much in the way of power, you sure need to be a .300 type hitter. I don't see him as either.
He was a college reliever and they built him into a starter over the last few years so not much time to get a lot of hype or recognition but he's still a top 100 prospect in the league. Theoretically they saw his potential and the best could be ahead of him, that's the hopeful scenario.No it ain't. He's almost 25.
If anything, it shows that he spent a lot of time in college or in high school or in prep programs or whatever.
I'm interested in seeing how he does. But he doesn't strike me as a phenom or real deal can't miss prospect.
But folks may draw their own conclusions.
Must you be such a Debbie Downer? For someone to move through the system that fast, at any age tells me something clicked. I'll be excited and very interested in seeing this "kid".Boy there are ton of assumptions here. The "kid" turns 25 next month.
No he didn't. We drafted him in 2021 so this is his 4th year in professional baseball. He has only logged 175 IP total in the minors so in that realm he did move kind of quick. As someone mentioned he was a RP at Florida and we turned him back into a SP.he just came out of college last year...that is a fast run to the show
I’m not sure I’m that, but I’d take it over the mercurial gesticulators who often bounce all over the place here.Must you be such a Debbie Downer? For someone to move through the system that fast, at any age tells me something clicked. I'll be excited and very interested in seeing this "kid".
There’s so many top 100 lists now that it almost doesn’t matter. Everyone has a list. And I’m sure he’s not on all of them. Not that a top 100 list could be a guarantee of anything anyway.He was a college reliever and they built him into a starter over the last few years so not much time to get a lot of hype or recognition but he's still a top 100 prospect in the league.

Yeah- I was wrong but what happened is that there is another Christian Scott that played for Tennessee in sport reference- and I didn't really look at the stats and realize this guy was an OF and played until 2023 in college. And it threw me more off because it was talking about the Christian Scott on the Met's in the notesNo he didn't. We drafted him in 2021 so this is his 4th year in professional baseball. He has only logged 175 IP total in the minors so in that realm he did move kind of quick. As someone mentioned he was a RP at Florida and we turned him back into a SP.
He'll be on an innings limit this year so Mets might go to a 6 man rotation depending. Hopefully Senga back in by ASB as well.
His metrics since last year rank as high as anyone but he's also not on the level of someone like Paul Skenes. His FB is a grade A pitch and he has crazy good K-BB% ratios. He's going to be really fun to watch.
though, he threw all of 3 innings in 2021 so he has had 2 full years and this is really his 3rd. That is still pretty good. Just wishing the kid well. We can use itNo he didn't.

I dont even see that right now. At least Mags was a solid contact guy.I'd be happy if he turned out to be a Dave Magadan type
And many of the ones not listed as injured are performing like they are.Amazing how many guys on this list are injured.
