I am going to the game tonight! Scherzer vs Collmenter!
The 2nd inning is too early to feel disappointed

Mattboy, I feel sorry for you buddy, choose the wrong game to go to!! Must be brutal sitting thru the first 2 innings so far
One question I have, what happened to Goldschmidt? I thought he started but when the lineup went through a second time, I noticed Pacheco was playing first.
I know it likely wuldn't have changed the game, but what a horrible call to end the game.
Is that not reviewable?
I missed it - what happened?
Chris Owings hit the ball and it bounced and came back and hit him before he had a chance to even move either foot. He had just started to move and was leaning toward first, but on the replay he had not picked either foot up so he was still completely in the batter's box. By rule if the batted ball hits the batter and he is still in the box it is a foul ball. The ump called him out. Our manager went out to argue and brought the other officials into the discussion but it was not looked at again or over-ruled. Terrible call. Glad it diodn't happen in a closer game.

If a batter is hit by a batted ball while in the batter's box immediately after an attempted hit, it is a foul ball. Though subject to umpire's discretion, it is foul whether it hits the batter on the fly or on a bounce.
Ok - thanks. I wonder if Chip would have raised a bigger stink in a close game.
