Braves @ Astros, April 16, 2024

Leadoff double by the nine hitter….wasted.

End of three. MLB leads 1-0

Astros scored a run last night. I guess that’s enough for this series.

Harris with a leadoff single

I went back and watched the Atlanta feed and their broadcast duo unsurprisingly doesn’t know the ground rules, but they said it looked to them that the ball bounced off the rail and straight onto the field. Probably because that’s exactly what happened. It’s crazy that New York simply assumes that it hit a wall when nothing I ever saw suggested that it did.

It’s not even a ground rule, it’s an OBR rule. Every yellow line in every stadium is in play. The call on the field was HR. I’m pretty confident MLB had zero desire to actually review anything.

It’s hard to imagine that none of the outfield cameras had any sort of view of the play.

SOTO double play ends the fourth….

It’s much easier to imagine that MLB didn’t want to disagree with their umpire.

One of my favorite plays.

He was clearly safe.

Diaz keeps this up and he’s going to get a reputation.

That was really close. Surprised the Braves didn’t give themselves another opportunity for MLB to fuck the Astros.

Even in real time.

I could live without the SOTO acronym, though.

Watching on an iPad.

It would be nice if the Astros bothered to score runs this inning.

I’m not gonna let that penis wrinkle ruin a perfectly good acronym.

Popup Bregman!

Quite the contract drive he’s putting together.

Where is Brexit Bregman when you need him?
