Marlins vs. Blue Jays (game 1 out of 2)

[Spanky99]

Hell no

 

And neither did anyone else in the stadium

 

Umps did...

[TheHurl]

How much do you wanna bet Gurriel didnt know this rule either

 

Still if an ump doesn't call time you don't get off the base. Not 100% sure what I would have instinctively done though

[gruber92]

The f***ed up thing about that play at second is that Gurriel would have made it to third easily without the obstruction.

[gruber92]

Infield hit

[Orgfiller]

No chance.

That rule needs to be punted, makes no sense. Just call time and award the base, there's too much grey in that rule.

[Jaysareus]

How the f*** does Montoya choose Panik as the DH over Tellez?

don't question Montoyo's genius

[M.E.]

This team is frustratingly more boring than I expected this year. Maybe I bought the hype, but I expected an exciting young team. Hopefully that emerges.

[gruber92]

Shaw just can't be batting in the meat of the line up.

[Deadpool]

Awesome, there's a Geddy cutout behind home plate. That feels right.

[gruber92]

No chance.

 

I would have thought with Bo's speed, that play was far from routine.

[TheHurl]

This lineup has no meat

[Ex Player]

Umps did...

They actually didnt all know it because they had to have a conference about it.

I think there was at least 1 or 2 umps who may have forgotten about the rule.

Its a rare play, I never seen it before

[Slade]

I feel like a lot of you guys didn't have realistic expectations going into this year. Even with the expanded playoffs and late start, you don't go from the 5th worst team in the league to high level competitors.

[glory]

Man, this offence is really, really bad right now.

[saskjayfan]

this is depressing...I have to turn back to the hockey game.

Tigers are 9 and 5

They were a good candidate to exceed projections...but projections had them below .500. I tend to agree though. There were many figuring they would be winning in shootouts.

[Spanky99]

Hahaha... I didn't catch it, neat!

[Orgfiller]

Tigers are 9 and 5

 

And the Marlins are 7-3, and the Rockies have a better record than the Dodgers. All of which screams, as it only can, small sample size.

small season!

[Spanky99]

50/50 is over 2 million?

 

I'm getting in on that action.

[Ex Player]

At least Ryu is pitching well. Better velocity than last time I saw him

I agree. I thought this was a .500 ish roster prior to Covid, but others were more bullish on this team. With the offence this bad and the regional schedule they are likely sub-.500 and out of the playoff picture barring the bats turning around quickly.

[Spanky99]

They had him, I think?

 

Nope, missed the tag.

[Ex Player]

Brinson was out. Swept his left forearm.

 

The rundown was his karma

[Orgfiller]

Shaw you're a major league third baseman bro, just make the throw across the diamond lol.

Overall I would agree. If Vladdy can figure things out we're probably closer to .500.

[Spanky99]

Quadruple OT in that Lightning/Jackets game, nuts.

Korpisalo aka the Leaves Daddy has 70 saves nuts!
