    Re: 8/19 - 9/1 Game Discussion Thread

    I heard the uniforms increased pace of play by 5.8% last night.

    If this is a sign of things to come, I don't know if I want to be a part of it.

      Talk about polar opposites starting tonight.

      Felix Hernandez, 2nd on the active complete games list, starts for the Mariners.

      Opposing him is Wilmer Font, an opener.

          after that Happ strike call. Like Umpires freaking suck.

          I don't care if that's a strike give me all the untended consequences that come with robot strike zone. I don't care anymore. Should be 5-2 bases loaded with the top of the order coming up.

            Hard to tell what's worse--the Cubs' play this weekend or the uniforms.

            No, it's definitely teh uniformz.

              Apparently the Yankees and Dodgers asked MLB to play in their actual uniforms this weekend and were turned down.

              So dumb.

              Hopefully this embarrassment means this **** is going away next year.

                This sounds like the Manfred regime's M.O. Seek the merchandising dollars at the expense of alienating your already loyal customers. And he probably dropped a random "eff Mike Trout!" in his response to the teams.

                  A very Cubs way to end an inning in this one. They're trying to set a record for LOB or something. Nick Castellanos at the plate with 2 outs and the pitcher Kyle Ryan tries to take 3rd base on a ball that squirted away from the catcher...but not far enough away. *Sigh*

                    Was really banking on some help with the Nats from the Cubs this weekend...so far, no dice.

                      I would have much preferred everything the other way around as well, esp. since the Cubs just swept the Giants.

                      If Giants swept Cubs and Cubs swept Nats, that would've been fantastic hah.

                          If they played the game with their regular jerseys, would they have been fined?

                            Apparently the MLB told the Cubs they couldn't wear their normal caps with the all white jerseys like they did yesterday which is incredibly ironic on "Player's Weekend."

                              Corey Dickerson has been a Godsend for the Phillies since coming from the Pirates. Man is clutch as hell.
