Polanco should have been more vocal about us challenging it.

[Squirrel]

It should have been the correct alignment. Not sure why it wasn't. I tried to rotate it 90deg, it still looked funky, so I rotated it back, and it looked fine.

Strange

You have to take the photo landscape, not portrait.

Suzuki needs to hit a Grand Slam to boost his trade value!

Daaaamn that camera has some zoom!         That shot of the moon..  you could have seen a moon landing.

Okay, guess not.

Yeah, on a 101 mph fastball any outcome other than striking out with a swing that looks like slowmo is a good outcome. The actual walk itself is just kind of a bonus.

As if most baserunners don't think they're safe on any close play. It's Molitor's call. There was nothing to lose by challenging. He dropped the ball on it.

I've never written this before, but after seeing the replay that clearly shows that Polanco was safe at home .... fire Molitor.

 

I can't believe I wrote it. There it is.

Welcome to the club!

I say, I say, there's some long swings on this team.

I get it. Just pointing out who I believe should have made the call.

[LaBombo]

Braves GM: "We've traded Aybar to the Tigers for Mike Aviles."

 

Braves manager: "How soon will he be here?"

 

GM: "The Tigers' traveling secretary says that..."

 

Manager: "It was a joke, dude."

[Vanimal46]

Sweet! Chicken dinnah was earned! And we'll see you tomorrow night.

Your lack of Caps makes me feel otherwise.

What made this so odd, is that on other occasions he will challenge a call that is much more questionable, in the first inning, or even has done in in the first AB! This is another sign of is total lack of consistency when he manages. Very seat of the pants!

[jimbo92107]

Careful

Ha! I was right for once - it was a pitcher's duel!
