    Snit has pretty much settled on the correct lineup depending on the handedness of the SP. it’s too bad Ender completely stunk up the joint and made it hard to make any other decision with Duvall.

    The move to the 1B end of the toe rubber made a big difference. Now build on that move. I look for a repeat of his last game.
    Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
    And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......

    And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
    The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

    Acuna is frustrating. I just don't see how a player as talented as him Ks so much

    Acuna looked at another pitch on the inside black for the called strike 3. That pitch has been his Achilles heel since he fouled the pitch off his ankle.

    Piss poor AB by Neck. 1-0 count and Ozzie with a big jump, Neck fouls the pitch off than finally Ks looking at a better pitch than the one he spoiled the SB for Ozzie on.

    The way Porcello has pitched this year he's probably worse than their bullpen

    Don\t be mad Ronald. You would just watch strike there if it got to that point.

    instead of strike three Ronald just watches himself get picked off. He needs a day off.

    All I can say is that the review booth must have different angles than those we're able to see at home because I thought it would be an easy overturn.

    Of course, there are theories which would say that the umpire Illuminati are protecting their own or that they'll always support any call that goes in favor of one of the big market teams like New York...nah.

    I think it has to be a clear, like my 4 year old knows it needs to be changed, or they won't overturn it.
