When did they stop wearing their actual team jerseys? I always thought they wore these ones for the derby.

Ask Manfred, l'm sure he had something to do with it

Awesome. I hate it.

Yep. Was cool seeing all the different team colors(granted a lot of reds and blues). Now they just look plain as hell out there

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

F-16 or F-15 flyover?

[failos]

Anyone here have peyrone’s disease?

Took a nice nap and missed the 4-hour pregame. Now bring on Shohei!

By the way, who the hell came up with the stupid jerseys?!

I'm hoping that's not his new thing. He did that a lot during the derby.

[fan_since79]

This conversation btw Buck and Xander is juvenile.

 

[bloodbrother]

Bogaerts gotta be annoyed having to hear Joe Buck in his ear asking him what pitch is coming when he's in the box trying to focus on his AB

Yeah b/c he’s used to being told what the pitch is ahead of time

He'll regain his normal swing in late August.

Whoever thought miking up Xander Bogarts and having Joe Buck blab in his ear while trying to hit should be kicked directly in the fruit stand.

What a moronic idea.  Oh and he whiffed also.

[bloodbrother]

Ohtani please throw strikes

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

I didn't even recognize Ohtani in that atrocity of a uniform

Xander didn’t seem too happy with the concept in the box. One of those things that probably sounded cool when they presented it to him but instant regret when put into motion. 

[PattyD22]

The uniforms look like something you would see in the Korean Baseball League.  

[bloodbrother]

Throw the splitter

[TooCool]

Good 1-2-3 inning but no Ks
