I like this season so far.

With CB Bucknor working the Cards-Mets series, I look forward to the first attempt by an umpire to physically restrain a catcher on attempted mound visit #7 (I assume Molina but could be anyone).

It resulted in the hardest hit opposite field HR in Statcast history.

Stanton might hit 80 HRs in Yankee Stadium alone so anything he gets on the road is just gravy.

Dylan Bundy looked sharp.

Orioles swing at a ton of bad pitches. It’s like that line from A League of Their Own, “high fastballs, can’t hit ‘em, can’t lay off of ‘em”.

Just set up Jones for the walkoff. I don’t think Schoop should be hitting third...

Like right after I wrote that they said Strickland now has a second pitch. Kinda changed my thinking too late.

I'm watching this Tigers/Pirates game on MLB Network and I can hear both teams' radio broadcasts (one in each speaker). That's not normal I assume right?

If there was a just God, surely this should be where MLB should just step in and call the game a tie on account of both teams sucking and just move on to tomorrow.

No kidding. Honestly, if the game were in Pittsburgh and it was the other way around I would just be begging the umps to let the safe call stand. We're already going to be subjected to 162 games of torture this season. This was enough for today, win or lose.

My turn. When Castellanos slid and was called safe I went to shovel snow.
I come back and the game is still going.

I don't want to dwell on that review too much, but I would bet any of you $1 million no way do they reverse that call in a playoff game in the same situation.
