Falconsfan567 35,212 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Scherzer just lost his no-hitter because Uggla lost a pop-up in the sun. I just saw the highlights. Turns out it wasn't Uggla's fault. He was camped under the pop up and for some insane reason Ian Desmond came running out of nowhere to call him off and then missed the ball.

He was camped under the pop up and for some insane reason Ian Desmond came running out of nowhere to call him off and then missed the ball.It looked to me that Uggla lost it. If he were screaming "I got it" do you think Desmond would have gone for it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So instead of laughing at Uggla, I can laugh at Desmond, which I am just as comfortable with. Falconsfan567 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dmite 3,675 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 SportSouth announced ratings were up by 50% in Atlanta compared to Opening Day 2014That's really cool. I loved watching what I could. I liked seeing Chris Johnson pumped up at the end celebrating with his teammates. Wasn't pouting or anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

K26dp 5,166 Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Wow! I guess everyone was eager to see all the new players.Yeah, that's pretty crazy. My guess is that the Braves simply being in the news all winter helped raise awareness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

K26dp 5,166 Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 I think folks tuned in expecting to see a plane crash.Probably helps that it was a 4:00 start rather than an 2:00 start. Makes it a lot easier to skip out of work early. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jidady 10,386 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Hmm, this is new. I'm getting the Predators instead of the Braves live. The replay airs at midnight, and even though I'm in Knoxville, I'm still blacked out from watching on MLB.tv.That's an annoying policy for the next couple of months.

Ransack 3,320 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 All trades aside I really do love this style of baseball. Run run run base hit base hit base hit. It's how the game was designed to be played. CrimsonFalcon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
