Re: Opening Weekend Discussion Thread

Poop. I think they got him on the hand.

Really bad slide by Bourjos...sucks that ruins Swanson's moment.

Re: Opening Weekend Discussion Thread

I think they got it right. If he doesn't bounce his front leg ...

You had one job, Peter!

No doubt they got it right...Bourjos is supposed to be fast, but he looked slow. That shouldn't have even been a play with 2-outs and running on contact. Then throw in the absolutely awful slide and he all around botched that.

Re: Opening Weekend Discussion Thread

On the last review for the Phils, it looked like they initiated that one. Isn't there a limit to how many a manager gets each game? I feel like Kapler has challenged 10 plays this game...

They're supposed to only get one, and none after the 7th inning. But umpires can initiate their own reviews. So it's really unlimited because they'll usually grant a request from the manager.


And the Cubs/Marlins game could use the "start with a runner on 2nd" rule. Neither team can get a baserunner at this point.

That's what I thought...but the weird thing with that play was the umpires weren't going to look at it until the Phillies made the headset symbol.

Re: Opening Weekend Discussion Thread

Thank goodness Vizcaino doubled up on the off speed pitch...I was afraid he was going to try and throw 96 and Hoskins was geared up for that.

Re: Opening Weekend Discussion Thread

I just want this thing to be put to bed soon. Between all the challenges, "rules checks", and pitching changes I'm spent. I hate the Phillies.

Re: Opening Weekend Discussion Thread

Hahaha I love the Cubs broadcasters. Bryant just made a play similar to the last out of the WS and Len Kasper mimicked Joe Buck's call.

I didn't think I would like the Kelly green jerseys for the A's and so far I don't.

Especially when they are batting with their normal helmets. Just is a weird clash to me.
