Lol.. and now a HR. Typical 

[forphase1]

First, this having to listen and not watch the game after paying for MLB.tv is ridiculous.  Second,  was that a good send?  Radio didn't make it very clear if Hays should have gone or not. 

[Winter]

off to a good start 

[Gurgi]

Where did our power go?

[murph]

I think Peacock is on a delay.   MLB app notified me of the HR before the batter was even in the box.

No, the ball was pretty shallow and the CF had momentum towards home.

Marginal. Hays had a good jump. The throw was on the money on the right side of the plate. It's just another sign the Cubs are doing everything right and the Orioles are not.

It was an aggressive call.  Ball was hit to medium center.  Not real deep.  Probably should have held him with a hot hitter coming up next.

[CynBeth]

We always seem to have issues with the Cubs and prior to this year most teams from the central division in the AL and NL.

[Gurgi]

Yeah it was a bad send........and Hays is not fast anymore.
