I agree jvett. If you can't play the game as is, go flip burgers and leave the game alone, ya flippin bunch of wussies! Seriously! Bunch of whiney, little, overpaid, bitches these days. BTW, I hear dumbasses that actually had a stadium ticket to the snooperbowl here in Phoenix were paying $45.00 for one bottle or 16 oz plastic cup of beer. I bet P.T. Barnum wishes he was still around!!

Anyone see that? Twins batter wasn’t ready in time so ump called a strike. Not sure but I think that was the 30 second rule. This will take awhile to get used to.

They listed the game times for yesterday’s games and the were quite fast like 2:20, 2:15, so that’s a good thing I suppose as was intended.

Already seeing Trae Turner’s speed manufacture a run. It’s a small thing, but watched Castellanos get thrown junk junk junk and he wasn’t waving at shit getting himself out like we saw so many times last year. That’s a start for him. Really need him to come back and make this lineup deep.

Toronto Blue Jays at the retractable roof Rogers Centre and Tampa Bay Bucs at Tropicana Field are the only two teams that play on artificial turf.

Phillies play 3 games at Tampa Bay on July 4th holiday and 2 games in August in Toronto. We should organize a protest.
