Pete Alonso, not hustling quick enough back to first. Strike called on batter. I immediately thought of this

Probably lollygagging around first.

I did not think the A's would be in 1st place this late in the season.

Another SWIIIING and a miss by Rendon.

Not a good opening night Tony.

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

Mia/NYM broadcast said the violation on Alonso was wrong, blues were supposed to just tell him to hurry up. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

Yuli gets a hit in his first AB, goes 1st to 3rd next.

Okie State announcer was just talking about pitch outs.  I wonder if those will come back in mlb after a pitcher has used his 2 pickoffs.

That’s a great point that I’ve not seen discussed as a potential answer. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

Holy fuck Jazz, that was brutally awful in CF. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

And noted defensive wizard Soler bails him out to preserve the lead. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

Ha, then Jazz goes solo yack in bot 8.

The rare 2-5-3 DP by SD. Sick pick by Cronenworth. 

[WBT 20963]

Mookie homers to break the scoreless tie

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

Rockies take first two in SD.

PH 2-run yack from noted ROY Kyle Lewis in top 8 for Ari lead.

How does a baserunner get a clock violation?

Regarding this i was at Hou/CWS game so didn't know Alonso got called for the violation, but the thought crossed my mind on Tim Anderson doing this tonight what would happen.

They did hit and run and it was fouled and he was not hustling back to 1st, but i looked at the clock and they just had it blank and didn't start the 20 secs til he was about 6 ft away from the 1st base bag.

So in conclusion I don't think they gave a fuck in the game I was at

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

That was slightly better than Teoscar's last throw home.

Obligatory...

 

The gist of it was already posted but saw this from the same game on my Google feed.

They write themselves. 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4901]

Rutschman sees first pitch from Chris Sales .. 1B .. 6-6.

Mountcastle follows with a prodigious bomb off the billboard behind the Monsta in left center.

Austin Hayes then hits another bomb.

O’s 3-0 going to bottom first.

(Sales did strikeout the side.)

O’s have stolen 9 bases in 12 innings … no one has dropped the baton, yet.

[TheStoicPaisano 9953]

Willie Mays Hayes-route right chea.

Make it 10 SB in the first two games of a season … never done before in MLB history.

[Fudge Nuggets 19452]

McKenna for the O’s drops the possible game ending easy fly ball. Duval walks it off with a HR on the next pitch.

The O’s outfield misplayed at least a half dozen fly balls in the first two games.  They done Bad News Bears to imperfection …

Lulz orioles. Where’s the trophy for having a ton of stolen bases?

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

Xander just murdered one. And Rougie is playing 2B. 

[Scraps 13797]

MadBum getting murdered in the 1st

Grand slam by Thompson was the big shot

5-0

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

Sick play, Julio ain’t slow. 

 

[Scraps 13797]

Trayce Thompson with first 3 homer game of season.

Now that was uncalled for

The Royals offense is off to a torrid start.

If the first 4 Royals fail to get a hit tomorrow, their team BA will drop below .100

[TexasHooch 5193]

Anyone have a decent streaming site for general MLB?  I used to use Stream East but it doesn't seem to work anymore.

Really strange how a player with unlimited funds and ties to sports medicine docs in the Bay Area is able to hit a career resurgence in his 30s

MLB is suppressing baseball telecasts.

Friend in New Mexico who is very casual Braves fan shoots a screenshot to me this morning: On what planet are these teams local for me? D-Backs, Rockies, Rangers, & Astros.

I just asked him, "You mean to tell me you weren't considering travelling to  attend one of their games this morning? I mean, it's only a 11 hour drive to MMP..."
