The Jays lineup isn't as good or as deep as it was last season. There are a bunch of outs there. Chapman vs Semien is a big downgrade.

So the Jays went from the second best offence in baseball by wrc+ to below average?? Lmao come on man.

Like this ignores basic common sense, considering they had a single regular last year that was a below average hitter (grichuk who's gone). And they get a full season of Springer. And Chapman has a 119 wrc+ for his career.

Hunter Pence and Katie Nolan did the Angels/Astros game last week, I like them both but I dunno that Nolan did a whole lot of broadcasting, it was more cracking jokes and asking some really dumb questions at times. A lot of people seemed to hate it.

I hope it was just first week jitters but both games sounded more like a middling podcast's debut episode than a baseball game and since it's not MLB.TV there's no changing your audio source. It's hard to make a 3 person booth work (Marquee has been trying and failing for years) but when they don't work together much it just hurts. Cubs are on late so I'm not watching week 2 but maybe Apple will put out a decent broadcast once the paywall goes up.

I thought being hit by a ball did not count as an out. There was the Cardinals dude who got hit three times running the bases

If a runner is hit by a batted ball in fair territory before any defending players touch it, they are out, it's a dead ball, and the batter gets first base and is credited with a hit.

I think it's if it is a batted ball and hasn't been fielded yet.

Getting hit by a batted ball when a fielder is trying to make a play on it is an out, interference.

This baseball rules site explains a bunch of possible situations which seem to boil down to if a fielder can make a play in fair territory, it’s an automatic out. It was a routine ground ball that hit Rizzo with a fielder ready to scoop it, so it’s an out even if it was unintentional.

On the other hand for example, it shoots past a diving shortstop and hits a runner behind him, it’s a live ball because the fielder tried and failed to make the play.

Padres vs Atlanta is blacked out for me but I can watch Cardinals games now, which WERE blacked out last year?? Are the blackouts based on the account owner instead of who is watching?

Aaron Loup owns.

I once bought a signed and framed Aaron Loup photo in an auction for a school fundraiser. I donated the signed photo to the school with the caveat it had to be hung at the school and it was (at least at first, this was in like 2013).

I hope those children still get to admire Aaron Loup
