Yeah, but the question is whether he was on the team or not, right?

Ben Clemens

The count of my least favorite cliche in announcing is up to one

"If the pitcher makes a mistake, the Braves will hit it out of the park"

No, calm down, that's not true

Luke Hooper

8:50

Let's count how many mistakes aren't hit out of the park.

Ozuna is not on the Braves 40-man roster https://www.mlb.com/braves/roster/40-man

Dan Szymborski

8:51

He might be an ends-type person. If it DOESN"T go out of the park, it wasn't TRULY a mistake

always confused

8:51

When garcia does his dance on the mound before pitching (which is fantastic) is that a balk? There's just so much feet movement

Dan Szymborski

8:51

He's not on the 40-man, but he's still paid and accrues service time on administrative leave

Ben Clemens

8:51

I actually don't know if it would be if he did it with a man on base

But also, they would steal before he delivered the ball

Luke Hooper

8:52

As long as he's consistent with it and not stopping and starting. I think it's fine.

Luke Hooper

8:52

Whoa, drone shot in the stadium?

Dan

8:53

We need more windups like Garcia's

always confused

8:53

also, Luis Garcia has a real late 80s/early 90s Ice Cube vibe going and I am 100% for it

Joe Buck *would* like the squeaky-clean suburban ballpark. Probably complains about how there’s no parking around Wrigley or Fenway.

Ben Clemens

8:54

In fairness to Buck, he can't say if he doesn't like it

Russ

8:54

Was wondering the same thing with Kenley Jansen's hip thrust thing he does with no one on.

8:54

The Hard Knocks Cowboys season on HBO had a pretty rad drone shot that went through the whole stadium and offices and everything. Pretty cool

Dan

8:54

I feel like watching a game at a watch party with that many people in the cold can't be that much fun...

8:54

it's hard not to think Kenny Powers too with Garcia's hair in the back. He pulls it off though

Ben Clemens

8:54

The national announcer definitely can't say 'yeah this park sucks'

Luke Hooper

8:54

Tucker was all over that backup. Nice play.

Ben Clemens

8:55

not a mistake pitch, didn't leave the park

Dan Szymborski

8:55

D'amnaud!

Ben Clemens

8:55

Also, wasn't a mistake pitch

Dan Szymborski

8:55

A double is a foible pitch

A single is an agreement to disagree pitch

A third is a quibble pitch

err triple

Ben Clemens

8:55

Brantley just said 'wow that's a wall!'

always confused

8:56

A double is a foible pitchA single is an agreement to disagree pitchA third is a quibble pitch

Dan Szymborski

8:56

Makes sense to me

always confused

8:56

these need to be in our lexicon forever

Ben Clemens

8:56

I love this IBB b/c it's a good way to try to bait Snitker into pinch hitting, but also good move by Snitker not pinch hitting

Russ

8:56

Looking forward to universal DH. Will be happy when a two out double out of the 7 spot results in more than, hey at least we rolled the lineup over.

Ben Clemens

8:56

Totally

Luke Hooper

8:56

Hey now, Anderson looks ready to drive in a run!

Dan Szymborski

8:56

I don't have anything against complete nonsense.
