"It's cold and we're not winning anything this year anyway, just groove one and I'll buy you dinner tonight."What did Bosio say, I wonder
How many were there to start with?How many fans do you think are left at at Cubs@Marlins, now into the bottom of the 17th?
No fans of Marlin catcher Chad Wallach: 0-7, 5K.How many fans do you think are left at at Cubs@Marlins, now into the bottom of the 17th?
I kind of agree that it does superficially, but the more you investigate, the more you realize it's probably fine as a very occasional thing.That sounds like an incredibly bad idea.
He's just being unconventional... I mean, if the umpires are going to let you wait to warm up your reliever after he's already entered the game (not to mention eject the opposing manager for complaining), why not?

Pretty much every manager hasHe has made Asinine decisions every game so far this season.
One inning. And they were down 13-2 and chose to use a position player. You're obsessing over weird shit that isn't really happening.And PHI needed a position player to pitch the last two innings.
Yeesh
There has to be more to the story. Like some sort of communication failure with the bullpen that the umps knew about and were compensating for.Those umps should be punished
Edit; more than just having to watch the horrendous fundamentals of the Phillies tonight.
I can kind of understand the umps if they legitimately felt they were preventing injury risk:There has to be more to the story. Like some sort of communication failure with the bullpen that the umps knew about and were compensating for.
If not, then Kapler is not long for the majors and the behavior of the umps is simply inexcusable.
I'd have more sympathy if they had the guts to take the heat for it. Instead, these asshats ejected the Braves manager for being right about the rule book and then blamed Kapler for their own lack of integrity.I can kind of understand the umps if they legitimately felt they were preventing injury risk:
But Kapler should be fined for sure
Yeah, ejecting Snitker takes it too far. The guy is in the right, don’t really care what he said, you can’t toss him. I get protecting Milner, but could they just tell Kapler if Milner isn’t ready to get in the game they can’t make the change and keep the original pitcher out there?I'd have more sympathy if they had the guts to take the heat for it. Instead, these asshats ejected the Braves manager for being right about the rule book and then blamed Kapler for their own lack of integrity.
Utterly indefensible. The umps should be suspended. And the Phillies should be forced to keep Kapler on for the entire year.
I'm selling high on him. I'm not sure I've seen anything from him in spring training, and now the regular season, that makes me a believer.Ohtani gives up a 3 run homer in the second.
If he is the next Ruth I think it's going to take a while. Well, the first one took a while I guess.Ohtani gives up a 3 run homer in the second.
Yeah. Only 1 BB in 5 IP is encouraging and he only gave up 4 base runners. Really just had 1 bad inning, which can happen to anyone.i mean one or two scoreless innings and that line isn't terrible, especially for his first ML game. He is prob psyched he isn't playing in BOS/NY with all the pressure that comes from that
I wonder if they will send him out for another now that the Angels got another couple of runs. He did hit 98 in the last inning.Actually Ohtani got through 6, and retired 14 of 15 (only allowing a walk) after the HR, very good first outing especially considering how bad he was in the spring.
You're giving the player a free chance at a hit and you are pissed that he took advantage of it? This is fucking ridiculous. So now no one should bunt against a shift? Fuck those turds. THEY ARE STILL TRYING TO WIN THE GAME! I am beyond repulsed at this reaction.Minnesota Twins players were upset Sunday that Baltimore Orioles catcher Chance Sisco bunted against the shift for a hit in the ninth inning of Minnesota's 7-0 victory.
With one out in the ninth, Sisco bunted toward the vacant left side of the infield to get on base. The Orioles eventually loaded the bases, but Jose Berrios worked out of trouble, getting Jonathan Schoop to pop out to the catcher and Adam Jones to strike out to complete the three-hit shutout.
Despite that, Twins second baseman Brian Dozier spoke out about Sisco's bunt after the game.
"I could've said something, but they have tremendous veteran leadership over there, with Chris Davis, Adam Jones and those guys," Dozier told reporters. "I'm sure they'll address it and move forward."
Berrios added to reporters: "I don't care if he's bunting. I just know it's not good for baseball in that situation. That's it."
