He was the one who provided the means for our organization to grow to its current dimensions, as well as the means for expanding the medium of cartoon animation to reach new levels of entertainment. The little guy, who was conceived out of exigency, relieved us of our immediate concerns. He popped out of Manhattan to Hollywood at a time when the business fortunes of my brother Roy and myself were at the lowest ebb and disaster seemed right around the corner. “Mickey Mouse represents freedom to me in a way that no other character can.” He was nothing more than a means to an end.

The Dodgers have scored 264 more runs then they've allowed. Their pythagorean win-loss record, which takes into account runs scored versus runs allowed and comes up with the record a team “should” have, is 87-33. What's even more remarkable is that mathematically the Dodgers could have an even better record. To match the record of 116 wins, last reached by the Seattle Mariners in 2001, the Dodgers need to go 32-10. The Dodgers are 39-8 since June 29, improving their mark to 84-36 for the season. The Los Angeles Dodgers have played so well over the past couple months that the record for wins in a regular season is in play. Louis' Yadier Molina has played 2,159 career games at catcher, which ranks fourth in MLB history. “That’s the hard work I put in day in and day out,” Pujols said. About 40 games are left in the regular season, which Pujols says will be his last. That seemed like a extreme longshot just a few weeks ago, but the way he's hitting these days, nothing seems impossible. Now the question is this: Can the three-time MVP get to 700? He's now just four homers shy of Alex Rodriguez for the No. The 42-year-old Pujols blasted two more homers on Saturday, pushing his career total to 692. If this is it for Albert Pujols, the 11-time All-Star is closing his career with quite a flourish. “I don’t think anyone is maliciously acting out to break the rules.” “The timing of sports in slow motion sometimes looks so different than what actually happens in front of you when you’re doing it,” Lovullo said. He added that plays at the plate happen in a hurry and there's a lot of moving parts in a couple seconds. “But ultimately, we’ve got to be able to go get the ball.”ĭiamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo agreed that the rule is simple, even if the interpretation is not. “You’ve got to be conscious of what you’re doing, where you're positioned,” Kelly said. But umpires' willingness to rule in favor of baserunners is arguably a new development.ĭiamondbacks catcher Carson Kelly said he understands both sides of the debate. The rule has been around for several years: It was changed in 2014 and is colloquially called the “Buster Posey rule” after the All-Star catcher suffered a broken ankle on a play at the plate.
Even if the plate isn't completely blocked, it makes for a more difficult sliding target for the baserunner.Īt that point, it becomes a judgment call. Many times, that means the catcher moves a foot in front or on top of the plate. The problem is the catcher is trying to get in good position to field the ball, adjusting to the trajectory of the throw. MLB rules state that “unless the catcher is in possession of the ball, the catcher cannot block the pathway of the runner as he is attempting to score.” So are the catchers right? As with many things, it's complicated. “I thought I did everything the way we practice: Step back, give him a lane, not throw the knee in front,” Nola said. Hedges was particularly angry, calling the reversal “embarrassing.” The Padres and Guardians are both fighting for playoff spots. The plays were strikingly similar: Cleveland's Austin Hedges and San Diego's Austin Nola each tagged out a runner at the plate, but on review, it was ruled that the catchers failed to give a clear lane for the runner to score and the call was overturned.
