Yeah its going to take a while for those baseball people to get over the new slide rules. It should be pretty simple at this point, runners only options are to slide into the base as if there isn't a defender there trying to turn a double play. I did always think it was weird that Baseball encouraged slides that had absolutely nothing to do with trying to be safe at the base, and Im glad they're taking steps to get rid of those kinds of plays.
Side note, kind of ironic how we have two mariner fans and one blue jays fan here posting the most. Our teams offenses couldn't be any different! Well apart from last night apparently
.
After Cruz hit that solo shot I was thinking to myself how it was ironic that the M's put an emphasis on bringing in OBP guys in the off season, and through two games the team looked exactly like it had the previous years. Glad it changed a bit late.

lol im hopeful we get some more fans in here for more content, btw hows it feel when the jays play in Seattle to have it turn into a home game for the jays lol?
Sounds like the sad story of a sad franchise!.. It is what it is, I think a lot of Canadians come down from Vancouver to watch and root for their national interest, I dont think this phenomenon happens anywhere else in the country. It happens during Red Sox games as well. It was really funny last year when the Red Sox came for a visit the Mariner fans started a "Brady is a cheater" chant after the Seahawks lost in the super bowl to the Patriots.
