GDT: 2018 MLB Regular Season Thread

I was watching live when it happened. I thought it should have been a HR strictly based on the fact it never hit the ground. It didn’t seem any different than if the ball had hit the top of the wall and bounced over.

I don't know. A double sounds right to me. I did find this in the ground rules: "Batted ball in flight striking the top of the wall in the right field above the padding and rebounding onto playing field: In Play." While that is not strictly referring to the fence that separates the field from the bullpen (but the wall further to the right), it's the closest thing to a reference. The ball hit the fence above the padding then rebounded back onto that ledge i.e. the field and only then deflected back into the stands. Even though it didn't hit the ground, it went back 'in play' and only then bounced into the stands so an automatic double seems fair.

[Terry Yake]

Baseball need promotion relegation.

 

[rangerssharks414]

The Diamondbacks have fallen and cannot get up.

They’re about to lose their 10th in their last 11.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

My god Atlanta. You are going to lose a series at home to the Marlins?!

 

[JWK]

Yeah....Dodgers are gonna run away with this division

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Not sure if the A's are getting better or if the Jays are just bad.

And he has also been really effective in the BP. Makes no sense.

Nats somehow get swept by that shell of a Dodgers team. At home. When Scherzer and Strasburg started 2 games.

WOW, amazing Braves comeback to win it after I called them out.

Marlins are awful but that was a great comeback win by the Braves.

 

[Del Preston]

mark lol you know the nationals are way way more of a shell team then the dodgers are right now. they have on dl:

outfielders: goodwin, eaton, robles
infielders: kendrick, zimmerman, murphy
catcher: wieters
bullpen: glover, grace (madson didnt pitch in series, he going to dl too)
etc etc

when you go up against alex wood and rich hill with half of the nats team on dl they arent gonna win many games

imagine if they had faced kershaw lol

Where is Trevor Story going?

 

[Canes]

What a great comeback by the Braves. Even though the Marlins suck really bad I'm glad I picked this weekend to go their games.

 

[hockeykicker]

Ryan madson to dl with pectoral strain. That's 12 players now on dl for nats

On bright side Tim Collins coming back up after missing years with multiple tommy john surgeries

 

[Terry Yake]

Romo has started the last two Rays' games.

why is this?

are all their starters hurt?

 

[Del Preston]

Strategy. Kevin Cash said it was because the top of the Angels' order is right-heavy and the actual starter, Yarbrough, is a lefty. Romo pitched a clean first inning and then left.

It worked so well that the Rays decided to do it again today.
