The shift takes away a double play

 

Miscommunication took away the DP.

[Spanky__99]

Jesus Christ I need to mute these Phillies guys

 

Turrible.

It's good to hear, so when people complain about Buck I can remind people that there's plenty of people just as bad or worse than Buck.

Any word on how much Dan Shulman will be involved this year?

Ya it should have been Bo's bag but then 3rd base would have to be the catchers or the pitchers. It just goes against your instincts when you don't communicate.

Pretty sure he’s calling every game.

[Ray]

Fun lineup your #2 hitter grounds into a double play and you still score without a homer

 

With two of our better hitters in Vlad and Kirk on the bench.

 

It’s gonna be a real fun offense to watch all season assuming everyone is healthy. Good luck to the O’s, Tigers, and Mariners pitching staffs lol.

[gruber92]

Bo starting to heat up just in time.

[Jays24]

Shulman has ESPN obligations, which I thought would take some games away from him.

[Spanky__99]

Nicely done again by Bo.

[Jays24]

Risky send with 0 outs and your cleanup hitter coming up.

[Deadpool]

Matt Moore just sawing bats today...

Matt Moore just sawing bats today...

 

Felt like both of those would have been hits and maybe even a Homer by Teo.

I really think that kinda move needs to be illegal, like, at what point has the pitcher committed to going home? How do you tell that as a runner?

[Jays24]

Good to see our baserunning is in mid season form lol

Lefties get away with so much ******** on the mound

Reminds me of this

[Orgfiller]

Not sure if that was intentional judging by Jansen's glove position but nice to see Matz go with a high 4-seamer for the K.

[Spanky__99]

Reminds me of this

 

Geez... lol. That's an egregious error on the ump.

[Deadpool]

Reminds me of this

 

Ugg... If that's not a balk, then it's simply impossible for a left handed pitcher to balk.

[Jays24]

Isn't that one of the new rules they're trying out in the minors to get rid of that all together?

 

And I agree that I hate those moves. You should be forced to throw the ball to 2nd before landing if you make that move.

[Orgfiller]

"Rye-you" lol

You can't make the pick off illegal, umps need to call the balk, lol.

[THANOS]

Phillies announcers insulting LGJ now... Very insufferable.

[Jays24]

Deadened ball will probably kill Biggio's HR count more than anyone else on the team.

[Ray]

Atkins traped the Mets.

 

It’s gonna be funny when Matz out WARs Taijuan Walker this season.

 

He had a really good second half of 2019 (3.52 ERA over 17 starts) where he made real changes to his pitch mix. And I doubt his fastball gets hammered like it did last season. I’m reasonably confident that he can give us a full season of around a 4 ERA.

[Jays24]

"Rye-you" lol

 

Loll it's the way I used to pronounce the street fighter character.

No, once his foot crosses the plane/rubber, he has to go to home.

[Deadpool]

The answer to "whatcha drinkin' there bud?"

[Spanky__99]

Deadened ball will prpbably kill Biggio's HR count more than anyone else on the team.

 

lol... seriously? What did Biggio do to you man?
