Congrats to Manea. First no-no of the season!

Indeed! A ray of hope during dark times.

Pirates falling back to Earth record wise and into what I expect they'll be this year. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted

Oof, that's not the mistake to make to Khris Davis.

Oh no....Almora makes another incredible range catch....but crashes into the wall hard and is obviously hurt.

Staying in, but his midsection/side is clearly hurting.

Test, passed.

He's gonna need a couple days off after today

Terrible wild pitch, but he looked out at home.

And that's the call after the replay. Cubs win!

Yeah that CF angle shows he got the tag on his ankle before his foot hit the plate.

That was pretty obvious that he was out.

I mean, I've seen more obvious overturns stand pat because "not conclusive video evidence", so I certainly understand the frustration.

The inconsistency is as bad as it is in the NFL.

Re: 4/9 - 4/22 Game Discussion Thread

that was pretty obvious but with MLB replay you really never know. though I have no idea why Morrow waited until the last hitter to throw his slider when he was having trouble with his fastball. those 2 to Desmond were filthy.

I feel like these game threads just turn into nothing but Braves and Cubs discussion everyday.

And Yankees. Not as much chatter from our Canadian friends about the Blue Jays these days. Those 4 (Braves, Cubs, Yankees, Blue Jays) seem to be the most represented on OS for sure.

I'm assuming you know this but wearing sun glasses doesn't help when you are trying to catch a ball in the direct path of the sun.

They eliminate sun glare and nothing more.

They eliminate glare, darken and block out overall rays across the spectrum, and can enhance certain colors. Depending on the lenses and brand you get. I'm not calling for eclipse glasses here, I am just wondering why everyone else in this game today but Heyward was able to look up in the sky, track, and catch fly balls like major league ballplayers. I guess if you explain it that he was literally the only one looking directly into the sun (not even the Rockies RF had the same angle as him) and was doing so on each ball that was hit toward him? Or maybe he needs a new pair of shades.

Astros sweep the White Sox in Chicago by a combined score of 27-2. Hitting on all cylinders now. ☺
