    Phew, I didn't think Springer would swing 3-0 but a base hit is a base hit! Come on Carlos!

    wow, that was close to a takeout slide the way they called it last night. He went past the base.. is that challengeable?

    Ugh, that was a great swing. Well, there's a run on the board.

    I always thought the new rule was that you had to at least keep a hand on the bag at all times. Maybe he held on to the bag? Didn't get a good look.

    Springer went past the bag and didn't keep any part of himself on it. Last night, they used that to call the runner going to 1st out. This wasn't as egregious of a takeout or going past the bag, nor was there a throw or a close play (or a play at all) at 1st.

    But by the letter, I believe they could have called it. And maybe challenged it if it was reviewable

    It's not like they are used to playing in the cold either. Maybe 20 games more than the Astros on the season? Isn't their spring in Tampa?

    Opening Day's should not be held in cold weather cities unless they have a roof. Baseball is supposed to be a sign of warm weather to come.

    I have a feeling Gomez is going to really piss us off this year.

    I believe we'll score some more runs, just hoping Dallas can settle down and have a few quick solid innings.
