George doesn't seem comfortable to me.

The ball just seems to die.

I am not sure why MLB would want to suppress offence this way. I don't get it.

What do you mean? Is it the balls that you're talking about?

It's stupid. MLB is a clown show

 

[hoglund]

Nice throw by Kirk.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Yes, seems like the balls are dead. Something about them is not right this year and I am not sure what MLB is doing

 

[canucksfan]

Fans: We want more balls in play.

MLB: We will deaden the balls so there are more long flyouts.

 

[hoglund]

Nobody's hitting today, neither team.

The balls are different this year. Pitchers have said so (Manoah said of his last start that he felt like the ball was the reason he had control issues as they're inconsistent and slicker than normal. I believe Garcia also said that his HBP in the Yankees game that got him tossed was because he couldn't get a good grip on the ball) and there have been league-wide indications that the ball is significantly deader than it was last year. IIRC At least 3 Chapman long fly-outs have been remarked on as unusual because their exit velocity and launch angle would've resulted in HRs in previous seasons but fell significantly short of clearing the fence this season.

Save us, Tapia.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Nice Kirk!

 

[canucksfan]

Would have made sense to deaden the balls AND ban shifts. Cant have deaden balls and shifts.

 

[dubplatepressure]

on the bright side these games really help me catch up on some sleep.

 

[Suntouchable13]

What was Arozerena looking at? Does he want Alek's photo or something?

 

[canucksfan]

Worst part about the balls is they won’t fix them until the off-season

 

[Maplebeasts]

Death, taxes and Manoah pitching a gem.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Is menoah in the discussion for a top 10 pitcher in the league, or not quite yet?

 

[Maplebeasts]

Yikes Chapman.

 

[trellaine201]

With this offense the game is over.

 

[Amadeus]

Underwhelming team so far this year. Not impressed.

 

[Fantomas]

Montoyo should be fired. It's not too late to salvage this season.

 

[hoglund]

Montoyo should be fired. It's not too late to salvage this season.

What has he done wrong?

 

[stickty111]

It's still early is going towards real concern with the team. The media really overrated them when they haven't proven anything yet.

What has he done wrong?

Do you think he's ever done anything wrong?

It should have happened 2 years ago.

ok that's the past, but you said that it's early enough to salvage the season with a new manager. What has he done this year to warrent a firing and if so who's available to hire?

Wasn't me
