Part of being old I guess but if the Brewers play the Astros in the World Series I'm going to mentally fuck up which league each team is representing at least once.

Re: 2018 MLB Week 1
I went to a movie at 955 last night. got out at 1230 and it was in ninth. Considered staying up. glad i didn't.

Re: 2018 MLB Week 1
That was quite the popular sentiment on Twitter last night. Part of me thinks if one is going to be so fucking self-righteous about it, maybe not make your money covering the league that continues to employee these people. There are tons of writing jobs out there where you don't have to cover bad people playing a freaking game. But it's a lot easier to be snarky on social media about it rather than having actual scruples. If Keith Law or Allyson Footer really wanted to make a point, how about they stop covering the sport?
The other bigger part of me knows this is a shit take spurned on by salt in the wound last night. But whatever.

Re: 2018 MLB Week 1
I fell asleep early, woke up a few hours later and saw it was in the 11th and stayed up to the end. But I was going to call it after the 13th if LA didn’t score there.

Re: 2018 MLB Week 1
Can you assume a catch? Does it matter?
Does that part of the field belong to the fan or the player?
I think the fans are going to riot.

I don’t think you can assume *that* catch. And the fan didn’t reach over the wall.degenerasian wrote: ↑Wed Oct 17, 2018 8:03 pm Can you assume a catch? Does it matter?

Re: 2018 MLB Week 1
I think the glove was beyond the fence and he hit the fan, not vice-versa. I think the Astros got fucked.

Can we fast forward to this fat fuck umpire dying on the field already?

Re: 2018 MLB Week 1
I'm impressed with the restraint of Astros fans. Would have been beer cans on the field in Toronto.

Re: 2018 MLB Week 1
I agree. Plus you’re assuming that Betts holds on with his arm/shoulder banging into the wall at high speed. That’s a bad call on the field by West that should’ve been overturned. This is why replay officials should just make what they think is the best call rather than deferring to a septagenuarian umpire with a worse view.
Re: 2018 MLB Week 1
The fans literally made no move on the ball. His glove was closed (and not by a fan, you dumbshit announcer) before the ball ever got there.

Re: 2018 MLB Week 1
I mentioned this in the NFL thread a few weeks ago and others disagreed but what possible justification is there for weighting a call by an official at full speed, possibly without a great view, over a call made by a replay official who can use a slo-mo shot from the best camera? It’s a classic example of people accepting a dumb rule (deferring to the call on the field) because it’s the way it’s been.

Re: 2018 MLB Week 1
That's how it is in hockey. The refs call doesnt matter or he doesnt even make a call. It just goes to replay.

Re: 2018 MLB Week 1
I just watched the replay. If that were the Yankees I would have made sure I didn’t defend Chapman last night so I could justifiably lose my fucking shit tonight.
Re: 2018 MLB Week 1
Where's the clear evidence Betts went into the crowd?
Re: 2018 MLB Week 1
I didn’t defend Osuna.

Re: 2018 MLB Week 1
It’s been proven numerous times clear evidence doesn’t fucking matter. His glove was closing before he made contact with anyone.

Re: 2018 MLB Week 1
For real though, put McCann in and politely ask Maldonado to leave Minute Maid Park and never come back.

Re: 2018 MLB Week 1
Not sure if the rule calls for factoring more than just did the fan prevent the ball going into the glove...and I don't really trusty umpires or the league determining how much banging into a wall affects the odds of catching a ball.
