Game Thread: 4/8 Opening Day Fish @ Big Boys

[stanford the manford]

I actually like the man on 2nd rule in extras (would prefer waiting until the 11th or 12th). But I heard a great idea on the radio for what to call it: the Manfred man

Remember them?

absolutely... best version of 'The Mighty Quinn' and timeless 'Do Wah Diddy'

So we won today when our Manfred man scored in the 10th...

Obviously the current rule is the Ohtani rule and I'm ok with it. Baseball needs to market the hell out of him.

I like the Ohtani rule. I had him on my fantasy team last year and it really sucked that he couldn't hit anymore after he was finished pitching. Actually, there were some games where they had him play in the OF after he was done pitching, but it wasn't very often.

I know it is Opening Day, but how long a leash will Doval get in the closer's role?

Unless he's a head case, he's got enough stuff to warrant riding him until he finds a groove

No, our Manfred Man got doubled off (double play) on a Belt fly ball.

Dubon on initial placement to second base. Belt flied out into a double play with Dubon out at 2B. Ruf walked. Slater doubled in Ruf for the Giants win.

I just hate rules that are specific for a single person.

Thought I heard Pence and Estes were getting some booth time, but maybe it was just pre/post game shenanigans

Didn’t Pence take a job with the MLB network?

Nope. Manfred Mann was thrown out attempting to advance on a fly ball.

The most misheard lyrics in rock and roll history. "Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night" is the lyric, but as a teenager, that is NOT what I heard.

The lyric may be “deuce”, but that is NOT what he says when he sings it.

I always thought it was "wrapped up like a douche," but I'm probably just crazy.

Baseball has to try new shit. And presumably if another two way guy emerges it will help them too

And of course it's a cover of a Springsteen song.

good start to the post Gerald era by Subway. Never gonna fill Busters shoes, but Bart-man did right in starting his legacy today
