    Despite it being New York, again that's why baseball is the best. Austin with two bombs, Matt Davidson hitting 3 homers on Opening Day.

        With the mound visit rule, is that ever going to be a real issue? 6 visits is a ton.

          So...why is Boone letting Betances throw 40 pitches!? Craziness...

            Man, Kevin Pillar literally stole a run in that inning.

            That was some crazy stuff.

              Nobody will really have much of an issue but Wilson Contreras.

                I see teams not going to the mound in situations where they normally would. It's like they're scared that they're suddenly going to run out of MVs. It's quite literally baffling. They have more than enough allotted visits to last 9 innings.

                  Just the fact that there's a limit is the problem. Less willing to go out and calm a pitcher, correct signs, coordinate, etc. Just the fact that it's something to keep track of and have scoreboard signage for is dumb as hell.

                  Whatever man.

                    It's more of a deterrent I feel like, as it stops the numerous catcher/pitcher visits which was becoming an issue. Some call the Contreras rule, I call it the Posada rule.

                    It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

                      Man that was an exciting end to the game in Toronto. You guys are going to see KP on the highlights tonight and tomorrow for sure.

                        Good ending to this game.

                        2-0 Jays, Yankees tie it up
                        3-2 Jays, Yankees tie it up

                        Then for fun part. Runner on 1st, comeback off Warren (who got injured), but funny part is that the batter Diaz, knowing the 1st baseman has him out, just ran backwards to home plate. Usually guys run off baseline, but funny seeing a guy run towards home from 1st.

                        And in 8th,Pillar gets on 1st, steals 2nd, later steals 3rd, then steals home! First Jays player in history to do all that in an inning (first home steal since Aaron Hill in 07). Wasn't all in 1 play, happened in 3 different moments. First time in the majors anyone stole 2nd,3rd,home in an inning in over 20 years!

                          A's kinda get screwed by replay. Not that they were gonna come back on the Angels realistically anyway.

                            Darvish about to make his Cubs debut. And they kinda need him to go deep in this one after the marathon last night.

                              I can confirm that the trade talks with the #Dodgers and #Brewers are for Matt Kemp and Ryan Braun as well as Dodger prospects. Right now, the deal is hung up one specific player the #Dodgers don't want to move.
