Yordan's hand doesn't scare me as far as it being a significant injury but it is concerning that I could see him getting 1-2 days off per week to rest it.

At that point maybe Yuli isn't such a bad add so Abreu can DH and Mike can play LF.

And yes I too would be worried Dusty would play him too much.

How much revenue are teams losing on concessions by cutting the game down?


Cost of beer will go up… duh
Astros make plenty of money hours before the game with giveaways. It's crazy seeing packed concessions 1.5 hrs before first pitch.

I assume the pitch clock will reset if a pitcher requests a new baseball from the ump?

Nope, thats considered a stall technique. HAs already resulted in called balls

It sucks, one of the best things about baseball is seeing a pitcher in a situation where you know his heart is going crazy and his breathing deep but they are slowing their body down. Stupid clock

I might be in the minority, but I HATE the pitch clock.

I'd be okay with it if they tacked on maybe 5 more seconds or so. It seems a tad bit rushed imo

That's actually exactly what I told my coworker. 5 seconds added on would make a huge difference.

There were a few moments where it looked like Luace's command was a bit off, especially against Lindor, but overall he only one hit and looked very good.

I also noticed sometimes he would step to his left with is left foot before starting the wind up and sometimes he wouldnt. Hope that isn't a tell and just old habits showing themselves.

Observations

Who's Bannon?

Hensley fills out a uniform great, you'd think at his height he'd look lankey but he doesn't

Lee, look cut, and while being stockier 11 looks good on him and lengthens him

Myers is the same as Hensley, looks great in a uniform and opposite of Lee 6 on his back makes him look a little thicker which looks good

This game feels incredibly rushed and unnatural.

For me one of the beauties of baseball is the ability to turn a game on or be at a game and not be 100% locked in to the action.

You should be able to sit back and drink beer, have a conversation, and generally not feel like you've missed a lot. It should be just as much a social experience as it is a sports experience.

This certainly doesn't feel like that is possible.
