The crowd was fine early. Missed opportunities and the offense laying a complete egg sucked the life out of it.

I was at the game, so the only replays I saw were on the jumbotron. It didn't look like Murphy's glove moved at all...I can't imagine not seeing at least a slight movement if there was interference. But they were only showing one angle on all the in-stadium replays. What about the Ozzie SB...

Which is unacceptable, but then again when has Philly had a call go against them in a series like that, much less two in the same game? Let them have a BS call or two go against them in critical situations in CBP and watch how they behave.

As would I if we weren't set up for Fried and Strider to pitch four out of five games if the series goes the distance.

I'd take that performance from him in Philadelphia sight unseen.

NARRATOR: Sadly, the ticket prices remained insane. Not World Series insane mind you, but pretty damned expensive for good seats.

Gorilla glue is much more efficient.

If they aren't going to reseed, they should ignore division titles for the purposes of seeding and go by straight record. This wouldn't have changed anything in the NL this year, but it would have made a difference in the AL as Tampa Bay would have been the two seed hosting while MIN would have...

I'm guessing that's how it goes, with Elder in game three. If we are down 0-2 by that one we may see someone go on the IL to allow us to bring Charlie back.

Max threw 76 pitches yesterday. We probably won't see him until game two.

It would have been the ultimate troll if Snit had played Ronald at 2B today in the open scrimmage.

I'm thinking Enscheff may have forgotten that the Braves are now a publicly traded corporation. Some here may actually own a minuscule fraction of the team. Does the possibility of earning a three cent dividend change the "we" versus "they" debate in any way?

Balls-in-play without context shouldn't be irrelevant though. Maybe adding a component to incorporate exit velocities would make the stat better. Some pitchers are more prone to hard contact than others. If those same pitchers happen to strike out a lot of batters/walk a relatively low number...

It's kind of crazy that most of us (including the scouts) had him pegged as a possible batting champ/consistent .300+ hitter with speed and little power.

We know this team doesn't recover from hangovers very well. It took them until June last year to recover from the World Series victory.

Seven years though? He seems like a perfect fit for Philly, maybe even the Mets. Let them bog down their payroll even further. I have no doubt he can still hit, but don't expect him to be worth anywhere near the remaining value on his contract even if he's relatively healthy.

A bounce back wouldn't have surprised me, with bounce back defined as getting to an .800-ish OPS. Doing it on the level Ozuna has since essentially May 1st was a shock.

I don't think any of us had Ozuna replicating his 2020 season from May 1st on. Definitely a pleasant surprise.

Not going to set myself up for disappointment by expecting anything out of Wright or Nick Anderson this year. If they return at anything close to their best I'll be pleasantly shocked.

As you've stated the data is pretty clear on the value (or lack of) of the stolen base. On the other hand, what is the explanation for the Cardinals teams from 1982-1987 or so being so good? They would literally have one guy capable of hitting the guy out of the ballpark more than...
