Hopefully Rodney can pitch well for us.

 

[Macattk15]

Well.

Rodney comin in for the 9th. Game is FAR from over with him coming out.

 

[FOOTE]

... Blues are finished so it's opening day of baseball season for me. Went to the Cardinals game today wearing my Blues jersey, got on TV for it. So that was cool. Go Cards.

 

[cashman]

The Rangers just lost a series they should have swept. Shitty weekend.

 

[Macattk15]

Dominant Rodney showed up.

Good to steal a win ... after that blown one by Brad Miller in Texas.

 

[Sumidor]

About time Seager got it going. I don't think he's a .300 hitter, but he should be at least around .270-.280

 

[cashman]

He's a career .257 hitter. But he fucking kills the Rangers for some reason.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Late but holla, Mets win!

 

[rando14]

Holy shit we won? Lol since when do the M's come back from 5 runs down

Nice to see the bullpen held up

 

[slightconfuse]

Tanaka time!

 

[Delta Assault]

That was a good hit by Trout.

 

[slightconfuse]

Bye Albert

 

[Y2Kev]

I haaaaaate Sunday night games.

I haaaaaate Sunday night games.

I miss Bobby V and his rampant sexual innuendos.

 

[Delta Assault]

Is there a reason why fouls count as strikes unless there's two strikes? Then it turns into nothing.

...are you American?

 

[Delta Assault]

...are you American?

Yes?

 

[Enron]

Your boy pitched well today Enron.

I still hate him but even the shitty RealHarrison is better than tanner fuckin scheppers

Hahahaha Blowgando fucking sucks.

 

[Sanjuro]

Yes?

I don't know. I've met people that haven't watched baseball, but never really asked that question. I'm testing to see if you are one of the new robot umps, but trying to break protocol and love.

The answer is it just isn't. You can only become out from a foul if someone catches the ball, so batters use it to slap away lousy strikes or stretch at-bats.

Okay. Just seems to me it's be more consistent and less confusing if they made it one way or the other. Either have all fouls count as strikes or all fouls count as mulligans.

 

[Windu]

It is not confusing at all. Fouls count as strikes unless you have 2 strikes already.

You can also bunt it foul with two strikes and get out!

That has always been sort of weird to me.

Well if it wasn't confusing at all I'd never have asked about it in a post.

Shit...forgot about that. Give me an instant replay, Chief. I'll gauge how to interpret it!

 

[Dominican Power]

I think there was a point a long time ago where fouling a ball with 2 strikes meant you were out. That gives a pitcher a huge advantage and having fouls not being called strikes is one for the batter.

 

[Dominican Power]

Richards has been owning The Yankees with just his fastball. smh

 

[Y2Kev]

Soriano makes me lol, his at bats are so bad

 

[lazybones18]

Ichiro pls

 

[Dominican Power]

Ichiro???? Mariners must be in town already.

 

[clemenx]

Wut. I don't think I've seen Ichiro misplay a flyball like that before.

 

[Dominican Power]

9Ks despite not having his best stuff. That splitter is devastating.

 

[ggnoobIGN]

Two historically good rookies in the AL this April. Wonder who gets rookie of the month.

 

[Malo]

9Ks despite not having his best stuff. That splitter is devastating.

The chase percentage on it is crazy.

 

[Pepiope]

10Ks in 6 IP. Only 2 ER. Tanaka shouldn't be on the hook for the loss.

 

[Y2Kev]

Yankees offense is worse than Wii u.

 

[Y2Kev]

Oops

 

[Malo]

Yankees offense is worse than Wii u.

Who is Reggie?

 

[CygnusXS]

I'm sad that Trout will never be a Brave, unless he pulls a Babe Ruth.

 

[Dominican Power]

TEX MESSAGE!!!!

 

[kingdaddy157]

Steal this base Jacoby!!

 

[sf2fanatic]

Fuck Time Warner. Couldn't watch a single Dodger game in Vegas because of the network BS

 

[slightconfuse]

Wild pitch

Yessssss

 

[Dominican Power]

lulz

 

[Pepiope]

Do we really want to review if it hit him or not?

We have the lead, we have Robetson. If Soriano grounds into a DP then it's still a tie game.

Edit: That was the next pitch. Haha

 

[Malo]

Yanquis win!

 

[Branduil]

Rangers lose a series they should have swept. We are officially worse than Seattle now.

 

[Syrinx]

Who is Reggie?

Reggie

Spoiler

Jackson

Kyle Seager career OPS+ vs Divisional opponents
LAA-81
Oak-43
Houston-71
Texas-146

Just had a lucky home streak this week is all I think

 

[BFIB]

Its been a long weekend, but I see the Cards are finally doing some shuffling.
