gehringer_2 Posted May 25, 2022 Posted May 25, 2022 I know it's a lot to ask, but can a Tiger reliever not walk the lead off man? As good as the pen has been - still one more hump to get over. Quote

Disagree. A "ghost runner" is already a designation in the game of baseball. It refers to a phantom runner that is assumed to be on a base when a team does not have enough players to have a runner available. You've probably played in games with a ghost runner when you were a kid. The runner can only move as many bases as the batter and runners behind them: if you have a ghost runner on first and the batter gets a double, the ghost runner is assumed to go only to third base. Point being, the "ghost runner" term already existed and referred to something different from this when the rule was implemented. "Zombie runner" is right because the runner placed on second to start the inning was the last out of the prior inning. He basically died to end the inning, and then he was resurrected from the dead to come back and be a baserunner in the following inning. As far as I can tell, that's the perfect situation to apply the word "zombie", and not the word "ghost". That said, who gives a shit. Quote

gehringer_2 Posted May 25, 2022 Posted May 25, 2022 I guess we only use Fulmer in low leverage. Pitches great behind. Quote
