Exactly @MartinP. It’s considered a judgement call but the problem is that many of these umps do not have good judgement. This is the World Series. Can’t make that call. Gotta let it play out. Martinez was yelling just that at the home plate ump the other night after watching his players get...

They will never make a double bag. The best resolution is to just let the runner have the same space on the fair side as he does on the foul side. Don’t even have to put a box like on the other side. Just use the grass as the marker. Such a dumb rule.

This is the worst rule in all the major sports. It’s just simply dumb to make a runner go into foul territory then run back into fair territory to make a legal play. This is a rule that relies on an umpires personal decision and that’s why it’s not reviewable, baseball calls this a judgment...

Who is calling the game on the radio and you’re listening to the game on the radio?

Only Girardi has won. The other two are just essentially good ole’ boy network guys. Baker is 100 years old and never got to a series as mngr from what I remember . Showalter has been manager under McPhail in the Orioles org previously and I don’t think he ever lasts long, wears on players...

I didn’t see personal attacks. I do see a fan of the most successful team probably in the history of sports complaining that they haven’t won a title in 10 years. Give us all a break.

As long as the phillies don’t do it again

Yeah. He might be a good manager someday but this wasn’t then. Pitching coach, hitting coach out. Head trainer and his assistant are out. Everyone else is back. I have no interest in Madden or Scosia. They both won one series but that’s it and Scoscia was 15 years ago. I just hope they don’t...

All I can say to that is this is a good part of my dislike for the Braves. It might even be more because of their fans then anything else.

I enjoyed every second of watching the Braves get clobbered.

It’s also on espn radio. You can likely get the app and listen on your phone or tablet. Maybe the Sirius app has the game—> phone The mlb AtBat app probably has the game. Several option so you don’t have to sit in your car.

I didn’t go into anything other then answering your question specifically if Acuna had a bad game. He had a hr but overall it was a bad game and may have cost them the game. If he doesn’t get caught stealing the Braves score more then one run in the first. There is a good case for him probably...

He had a bad game. Despite that home run inn the 9th Acuna was caught stealing with no outs in the first. The Braves went on to get a few hits following that and scored One run. Probably get more then one if Acuna isn’t out trying to steal on a team that gave up the fewest steals in the league...

I don’t mind the one game wild card game. As already mentioned it makes winning the division so much more important. Besides I don’t really think of it as a playoff game they way we think of a playoff. I see it as more of a play-in game to get in the playoffs. We live about 2 hours south of St...

I have mixed feelings on this many homers for a rookie. On one hand if it was my team I’d likely think it’s great but as a baseball fan I think that the balls are different and that all these home runs are a load of garbage. The Twins have over 300 I think. Something just doesn’t feel right...

Yeah He was going after the year of 1954.

I wish the Phils had won 3 WS.

My vote would go to Strasburg.

I’d be shocked, shocked I say if they bring Kapler back. Shocked.

Phillies in third place. Woo hoo! :(

Possibly but I think it’s better then no reaction or apathy. My issue is the fans who want to be the character of that fan who boos everything. There’s a big part of the people in attendance at Phils games that are that. Just playing a character and it’s not good.

When I was younger I booed plenty of players. But it was more of a comment on results not the effort of the player. Most of the booing we did was at the other team to annoy and distract them. Even now the majority of fans who are booing Hoskins after going 6 for last 70 and making an error...

Vargas has been a nice surprise. Has kept the Phils in just about every game he’s pitched. His stats show he is 0-1 with a plus 4 era but that’s not indicative of what he’s done. He has only given up 3 HRs in 29 innings and for a philly that’s a huge accomplishment

Rodriguez WAS booed last night first AB. Then the founds soundly cheered when he was hit by a pitch. Hoskins has been epically bad. Captain Kapler will not give him a day off and will undoubtedly continue to bat him first. It’s so ironic for a ML baseball player to call the fans of a team in...

And Roman Quinn took his usual 3-4 times a season spot on the IL. That guy is one of the fastest players I’ve ever seen but doesn’t go much more then a month before being IL’d.

I’d say umpire. At most an equipment fine. Have to go look at the clip though.

When I was a kid it was neat for my favorite team to have the best record (the best team) but now I’d rather they didn’t have the best record during the season. My most recent experience of this is 2011. That Phillies team was great but they didn’t win one round.

Yeah maybe a little frustrated or annoyed mostly at the bats who have not come close to what they should have been able to do. But I do see your point you made in post 301.

Really you went Um? Yankees Dodgers Astros Twins All have been up there within a hop of the best record all season. Only the Twins have started to fall off the last 4-5 weeks or so. Is this something that really needs to be argued?

Maybe but they haven’t exactly been devastated by them. I feel like they’re still doing pretty good even with the injuries they’ve had. The Phillies just lost 2 more players today. Ive been seeing it on other social media outlets about the Yankee injuries too. Best record in the game right...
