Happy the Braves are at 9-6 after that disastrous opening series in Philly.

Going back to my proposed replay changes: https://forums.operationsports.com/f...post2049739589

4) If an umpire has particular reason to overrule what New York says about a call standing because of what they see or sense, including what they see on the jumbotron themselves or seeing a particular mark on the ground or on the body, then they have the right to do so. These are the umpires that want to make the case that their call is correct, so to admit defeat is not something you would normally expect to see.

I believe this would have occurred during the Baltimore-Boston game. I think the umpires on the field kind of said: "Sorry, my hands are tied."

5) Managers/players shouldn't necessarily be able to argue after a decision is made, but they should be able to get complete clarification and state their case for the record without being ejected from the ball game. This includes where certain runners should be placed after a call is overturned.

He never even got to talk to the second base umpire at any time afterward for full clarification of matter, and his viewpoint. Some umpires, like this field umpire, even turn their bodies away from the jumbotron for what I believe to be "plausible deniability" purposes.

It's unfortunate that you can't seem to argue a call without needing to go to replay for the appeal, either. I'm really not a fan of replay at all, man. Home runs only, and make it an automatic.

Chris Davis has homered, and is feeling better again I guess.

Time to take over sole possession of first place.

Beat the Brew Crew!!!!

Sigh, Darvish can't throw a strike to the Marlins 8 hitter with a 3 run lead. And now it's a two run lead after an error, and this is starting to become a big mess.

Got out of it with just the one run scoring.

St.Louis...I'm begging you. Go sign Keuchel. Give him a lot of money for a single year. Dakota Hudson isn't ready.

Man, Austin Dean is gonna have nightmares about Yu Darvish's stuff. Some real ugly swings tonight
