Last year on April 28, Dave Roberts of the Giants drew the sixth catcher's interference call of the month. Edwin Encarnacion had already drawn two!
Yet this year, there is only one, by Lyle Overbay of Toronto, on April 10. I fear that the catcher's interference alarm may get all beat up like an old civil defense siren. Remember that complacency is the biggest enemy of catcher's interference. Always be watching, always be waiting. You never know when it could happen.
I'm not sure where else to ask about this. The Griddle seems the place to go for scoring questions.
Tom Gordon received the win in the Phillies April 25 game. He entered the game in the 7th and protected a 6-5 lead. So, why the win? I can't figure it out. Obi-Wan Kenobi, you are my only hope!
Ah, great, thanks. So it doesn't just default to the next pitcher (Durbin.) I just wish they'd use that discretion more often when relievers actually give up the lead and then get the win. Thanks!
