Hersh Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Machado is clearly in the wrong and did this intentionally. Having said that, why did the first baseman stay on the bag. He had no intention of moving nor was he just about to. He just freezes. I’ve never see a first baseman not move off the bag right away. His foot is covering half the bag.

The Evil Genius Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Looks like Manny has a severe case of Yasiel Puig. Luckily it's treatable via operation. First, the doctor removes the chip off of your shoulder, then he removes your head from your ass, then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 They need to outlaw players adjusting their batting gloves after every pitch. Probably cut out 45 minutes per game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back luck for Woodruff in the 6th. Gets weak contact for a DP except the Brewers were in a shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Ovechkin finally won a Cup. This might be the year Kershaw breaks through and wins a WS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 People ruin everything. Needs to be a gap between the first row and the fence in every ballpark. I think Betts catches that without the fans there, but I don't think they reached over the fence. So by the rules that isn't interference, but they did interfere. Again, Wall / Gap / 1st row solves all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I like how every player now has a scouting report or cheat sheet in their pocket. Maybe next year they’ll let them all use tablets out in the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Astros pissed this game away. Their own fan didn't help. Correa missing 2nd base on that DP was a bonehead move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Not exactly current, but still baseball related and I liked it.

And while they've limited manager visits to the mound, six per game still seems excessive, because it doesn't include pitching changes. Speaking of pitching changes, I favor the pitcher has to face at least three batters, or end the inning. Barring injury of course. But if they have to leave due to injury, minimum 10 day DL for regular season, maybe 2 games for the postseason. That will prevent teams from abusing the rule.

Or fix the real problems: Replay and the Umpire's Union. I am not a fan of the 67 pitching changes per inning, but Joe West, Angel Hernandez, CB Bucknor, Hunter Wendlestedt, Mark Hirschbeck, Marvin Hudson, Jerry Layne, Vic Carrapazza, Laz Diaz et al are a much bigger problem. Replay takes far too long, and they still get the call wrong. Joe West looks for reasons to be right than get the call right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 How are teams like Milwaukee and LA on the same playing field when LA's opening day team rosters was 60% higher salary wise? To me, that's what is killing the MLB. There are about 5-6 teams that can (my team included) outspend everyone else by a ridiculous margin.

The game right before Jordan Zimmermann No-no. My 2 year old daughter is sitting in a vacant seat for most of the game until the 6th inning. Drunken moron shows up, takes the seat, then asks who is pitching--Strasburg was throwing a gem. 2 pitches later, foul ball hits the facing of the section behind us, and drops into moron's lap. People are telling him to give it to my daughter. He says to me "Hey I caught a ball, I just saved your daughters life!" Takes the ball and goes back to the bar. He sat there for an AB, caught a ball, and left. I still hate him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My parents took me to a game at Camden Yards for a birthday...it had to be when I was turning 11 or 12. We were about 20 feet past first base and about 10 rows back, they were good seats. They did the cheesy stuff where some people from the Orioles come around and sing happy birthday, basically embarrassing the **** out of me. Anyway, between innings the 1st base umpire comes over to the fence and says, "C'mere, son," very sternly. I walked down there, he gave me a ball. Can't remember which umpire it was. Cool story and a great memory but I still want the thrill of catching a ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
