Somewhere, out there amongst all the different possibilities, is a universe where Joe Buck is paired with Ron Darling. Drop to your knees before you hit the pillow and thank someone that we aren’t that universe.

I want A-Rod and Papi to call the World Series.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

Long term baseball is getting ahead of having guys retire with rain problems or leg and knee problems. i don’t love the rule but on balance it’s good.

 

[Windu]

The intent of the rule is fine, but there has to be a better way that prevents a play like that being overturned. Maybe just make it up to the home umpire's judgment.

 

[brianjones]

i don’t love the rule but culbersons approach could have been totally different with the old rules

you can’t just say it would be the same exact play and he’s out

I want Vasgersian/Smoltz.

Make enforcing the rules up to the umpire?

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

Whoever that Color commentator is; he is so ignorant towards the meaning behind that rule. You want Contreas to get friken bulldozed at the knee?

 

[Caja 117]

Damm.... Dave Roberts not fucking around with pitching.

 

[J2 Cool]

Dodgers playing close to a perfect game sans Kershaw. Impressive team

 

[sf2fanatic]

Damm.... Dave Roberts not fucking around with pitching.

Kenley has gone more than an inning numerous times this season. Plus we don't have to worry about Baez anymore. Phew...

Not defending the commentator, But Contreras with that move he did was risking injury to himself and/or The runner.

I mean any other mamager would had left Watson given the leed.

 

[clemenx]

Not gonna lie, plate collisions were super fun but is not something I ever notice is gone or that I'd ever miss. I can't fathom being so mad at the rule.

I mean, your president thinks the NFL is soft with all the safety rules. Yeah, dumb ass dudes love the idea of ruining other people's health for fun. Just look at Pete Rose.

That play wouldn't have gone down the same way if the rule didn't exist because Culberson would have barreled into Contreras and shredded his knee.

 

[J2 Cool]

Bryant’s really become a strikeout artist recently

 

[grandjedi6]

The rule doesn't matter much anyway. The Dodgers win just as much at 4-2 as they do 5-2

Oh I’m a Reds fan and I think him doing that was a shitty move.

Roberts lately has been using Cingrani and Watson as lefty specialist. He's all in on matchups now

 

[rc213]

Hey you made it!!!

Just need rc213 to come back

Hmmm

 

[Windu]

Just change the rule to something like, "does the umpire think the runner or catcher decided to cause harm to the other player."

 

[J2 Cool]

Think the Lack Attack’s proven himself. Need to use him regularly in relief. We don’t have other options

 

[Tall4Life]

Well, if he goes for the full on collision he could tear the catcher's ACL/break his knees, so yeah...

 

[PK Strawstorm]

Ron Darling is and always has been a terrible announcer. Can't stand him. Shows here that he doesn't understand the rules, and in Game 5 of the Cubs/Nats series he showed that he doesn't even know the rules. Wieters was complaining about getting knocked in the mask with the bat, meaning the ball should have been dead by rule, and Darling flat out said he'd never heard that was a thing and the broadcast just moved on.

Lacking charisma and knowledge. Just a blowhard who likes to sound authoritative about everything, which some producers still think make a good announcer, but I think his time is over.

 

[J2 Cool]

Gotta say, these announcers are terrible. Really miss Ernie Johnson. They entirely lack charm

I preffer this than Joe Buck, bleh.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Hmmm

The whole crew's back!!

 

[Mrbob]

Rizzo doing his best Baez impression.

 

[mcfrank]

Beautiful and athletic

 

[sf2fanatic]

Yes!!! And the whole crew is back!!

Spoiler

For about one page

 

[mcfrank]

Dodgers!!!

[Syphon Filter]

yay, fuck the cubs!

 

[Fenderputty]

Whew game 2 let's go!

 

[BigJonsson]

Puig says that wasn't his first postseason homer........lol?

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

Who’s gonna win game 2?

 

[Caja 117]

Lol Puig saying he hit a Homerun in postseason before.

 

[brianjones]

Every game is the postseason for puig

[clemenx]

Puig is so awesome.

 

[Windu]

Yeah true.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Now post game shows will spend a ton of time on the play at the plate when the Cubs never scored another run so I the end it didn’t matter

 

[Mrbob]

Cubs decided they want to do the gentleman's sweep.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

Ok so tomorrow Sunday we have one or two games and at what time, if you'd be so kind?

 

[darkside31337]

Puig making up postseason home runs he never hit is the most Puig thing possible.

Puig fucking rules.

 

[sf2fanatic]

One game at 4:30 Pacific.



Glad we took this game. Never confident when Hill pitches

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

All the dumbasses on Twitter saying that Buster Posey was just one guy affected.
Why are there so many dumbasses from America?

People don't even remember that the rule was passed 3 years later after *another* guy got hurt in the playoffs

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Is Gary sheffield punch drunk? What "natural motions" were there?

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

People don't even remember that the rule was passed 3 years later after *another* guy got hurt in the playoffs

I got into an argument, because I said that the rule is there for safety and they were like “it’s still a garbage rule.....”

Suprise surprise. The people saying this rule is dumb supports the man who is more than willing to allow NFL players to get CTE.

 

[bebop242]

Welp uphill battle for the Cubs. Dodgers look good.
