This is an old-fashioned 3 hour+ pace. 1.5 hours, 4 innings. 

No issue with a longer game assuming there are lots of runs/action. This one does not have that.

Nothing says "you suck" for a 1B ump like having an out call overturned to safe and having a safe call overturned to out within an inning. 

That’s a little harsh. Those were both tough calls at full speed. 

[wallus]

No idea why he didn't tag there...

The second one was very bang bang.

The first one was a clear bad call. 

Not Jim Joyce/Armando Gallaraga bad but bad. 

[adambr2]

Just trying to get way too cute with the slider and never came close. With no base open and Santana on deck he needs to be a lot more aggressive than that. These walks are brutal. 

[MrTPlush]

Only shot at a DP was throwing to first and then second. 

[owbc]

I can't fathom how we used to watch games like this without the pitch clock. It would be headed for 4+ hours for sure. 

[adambr2]

That could have been much worse.

CHOO CHOO CHOURIO

[Team Canada]

There you go, kid!

[Brewcrew82]

JC!

[Brewcrew82]

Lol Murph looking like he's not impressed. 

[BruisedCrew]

Sweet swing. 

[MrTPlush]

If you are going to throw three sliders in a row...best not throw it down the middle on the third try. 

[Underachiever]

I want you all to know, I called that home run for Chourio, but I’m alone in my house so no one heard it. Not even the chair. I am so unreasonably excited about this young man 

[TURBO]

The first of 500 career homers for the kid!

NICE!

[adambr2]

Look, I know the returns on Chourio are far too early to assume anything, good or bad. But I just wanted to see his first week as a very very young man if he'd look like he belongs at this level or is overwhelmed by it. 

Clearly, he isn't overwhelmed, and clearly, he belongs. 

[AKCheesehead]

Not able to watch live.  Did they give him the silent treatment?

[Team Canada]

Yelich, Hoskins, and Turang not impressed by Chourio's .979 OPS.

He is noticeably critical of Chourio. I’m sure he has positive intentions.

[wallus]

JC is the RF of the present and future, happy to have him locked up for 8 years.

Some of them did, including Murphy basically ignoring him...he got some casual high fives though.

[SeaBass]

Guess I picked the wrong time to take a bathroom break. Go deep young man!

¡Ay, caramba!

All you can really ask for at 20 years old, too.
