Didnt MLB used to dictate when the Astros could open/close their roof in the postseason? I seem to remember some controversy surrounding that

Craig Edwards

9:45

yes. back when the astros were last relevant, they tried to have it closed for all games and selig intervened.

Poll idea: which pennant winner will more likely trade for Giancarlo Stanton?

Craig Edwards

9:46

probably houston because stanton costs LA 50% more.

Seth Moko

9:46

Is that not still the case? I remember them saying MLB decision during ALCS

Craig Edwards

9:46

not sure. could be though.

Maeda up to 21 pitches now. What would you say another 15 or 20 tops left for him?

Craig Edwards

9:48

try to get one more inning i would think.

woeful SFG fan

9:48

even last year, blue jays were told to open or close the dome, even mid game

Corey Seager

9:49

this is going to be a dull, long game, isn't it? just has that feeling to me

Craig Edwards

9:49

that's partly your fault, no?

J Rich

9:49

Between 65-84 degrees and good weather, MLB says roof is open. Current weather forecast, Sunday the only questionable game for weather it gets to stay closed.

9:50

Actually game is exciting so far, just not at the level of the first two

Craig Edwards

9:50

impossible to measure up, on that level.

But actually

9:51

Am I wrong or does this feel like something mlb shouldn’t be intervening with?

Craig Edwards

9:52

I think it is fine. I'd rather have baseball outside so preventing more domed games seems like a good cause.

oh puig

Hunky Dory

9:52

Oh boy, when talks feed catches up...

Craig Edwards

9:53

once he ran through the bag it was too late.

i think he got to the bag first, but couldn't stay on it.

Peter from Pittsburgh

9:53

Why wasn't the first base coach yelling to go for second

Craig Edwards

9:53

maybe it was too loud?

woeful SFG fan

9:54

If teams can create the atmosphere with music, sounds, cheers, pregame music, etc. I believe they should be able to control the roof too. It's their HOME field, and it's legal (currently)

Craig Edwards

9:55

should they decide when to delay a game for rain? There are some things it is fine for the league to intervene on for fairness.

Grimace

9:55

Can Puig maintain long term plate discipline or is this an outlier?

Craig Edwards

9:56

He's got a 9% career walk rate so I think it is pretty reasonable.

Hunky Dory

9:56

Game 1 was an awesome pitcher's duel with extraordinary pace and a legendary performance by Kershaw. Game 2 was one of the most bananas games in WS history. This game is fine.

Leader of the Free World.

9:57

I'm glad they're letting Mccullers pitch you know like a regular starter.

Craig Edwards

9:58

if they have somebody better, they should use him. they might not for six innings, but every inning gets them closer to the point they don't.

zangler

9:58

Teams also control the field dimensions with huge variance....so roof seems in that realm.

Craig Edwards

9:58

they don't change that game to game.

9:59

Who should decide whether to keep the roof open or closed?

Home Team (53.8% | 93 votes)

MLB (46.2% | 80 votes)

I wish alll sports were like baseball.....Imagine different size basketball courts...Wider field goals...it would be awesome

Craig Edwards

10:00

14 foot high rims whenever you play the Warriors.

Tone Womacky

10:00

They had a freaking hill with a flagpole in CF, I don't think the roof is a big deal

Uncle Jimbo

10:00

In comparison, MLB might step in if a team grew out the infield grass too long, for whatever reason.

Hunky Dory

10:00

Will LAD release Adrian Gonzalez and keep Bellinger at first, or stick Cody in the outfield grass for 2018?

Craig Edwards

10:01

depends on what happens with Pederson, but they will field the best team they can, and if Gonzalez isn't part of that, they will move on, regardless of salary.

Jesse

10:01

There should be a third option for "neither is unreasonable and it isn't really worth arguing about."

Craig Edwards

10:01

too late
