Rangers are gonna get no hit on opening day. What a start

 

[BigJonsson]

Is Lawrie inured yet?

 

[Tragicomedy]

Any substance behind pace of play changes? I've only been following online today.

Girardi wasted time not challenging a call

 

[Frozenprince]

So Sonny Grey has a no hitter through 7.

How the fuck does Billy keep doing this?

 

[sf2fanatic]

Ack. Natural aversion to everything Dodger. You're right.

Oakland plays the Dodgers in July. Hopefully for a Sonny Gray/Kersh matchup

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Give us SanJose Manfred.

 

[Enron]

so i guess the rangers are officially back to pre-2010 rangers.

 

[Corran Horn]

Give us SanJose Manfred.

How dare you. That's sf turf!!!!!

[Rafa=FedKilla]

*hands Jello a hot dog and a refreshment

 

[BigJonsson]

[cashman]

Ryan Rua could be the GOAT

 

[zroid]

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Congratulations Ryan Rua.

 

[Sir Alemeth]

I knew that long half of the inning would mess up his groove.

 

[Dominican Power]

Arizona pls.

YOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[zroid]

welp

 

[Red Comet]

Wow

 

[bigosc2k]

Why is Jean Machi still on the team?

 

[Sir Alemeth]

This is what happens when Bum's not pitching. Odd year come at me!!

 

[DarkFlow]

This is what I like to see AZ. Yeahhh.

 

[perfectchaos007]

If that ESPN strikezone box is accurate, why don't we get rid of home plate umpires and just use that to make the calls?

Perfect.

Because that would be horrible.

 

[Man God]

Yankees versus Red Sox will be the real test to see if the rules work. Except the Yankees likely can't hit anymore.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I know it's too liberal of an idea for the baseball purists. I'm all for modernization though

 

[rekameohs]

lol at Peralta trying to sell that

 

[zroid]

lol what is happening

 

[perfectchaos007]

lol at Peralta trying to sell that

It may have grazed his glove

 

[DarkFlow]

I don't think that even got close.

 

[zroid]

I know it's too liberal of an idea for the baseball purists. I'm all for modernization though

I'm not really opposed to it, but there's something to be said for the skills involved in learning an ump's strikezone (assuming it's actually consistent), and also pitch framing. Taking those elements out of the game isn't necessarily a good thing.

 

[DarkFlow]

We already have reply, we've modernized enough for the next 20 years.

It would also be like the NFL getting rid of the Chain gang and just using the lines on TV.

 

[rekameohs]

Aw, shucks

 

[bigosc2k]

Woo first win of the season, but fuck Jean Machi

 

[stressboy]

Seriously, why the fuck is Machi allowed to play?

 

[Corran Horn]

phew

 

[Sir Alemeth]

PPHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEWWWWWWWW!!!!!!
Freakin' torture man....

Seriously, the only guys in our pitching staff that I trust are Bum, Affeldt and Casilla. The rest are too unpredictable.

 

[rekameohs]

Woo first win of the season, but fuck Jean Machi

Romo gave up the three run double

Romo gave up the three run double

Machi only had one job when he came in to relieve Javy Lopez, and that's to get an out(s).

Grass instead of turf will mean it will take longer for the injury to hit!

 

[Frozenprince]

Automatic strike zones are idiotic. Because they are gonna be standardized. People will learn to game the machines instantly.

The human element is necessary.

If you go automatic why not also go pitching machines and robots?

Yea it's gotta be people, but replay is a good thing for some cases.

I'm still expecting 4+ hours.
