Good idea by Hildy...keep throwing to 1st so the shadows move in

[Cap'n Piranha]

I’m sure they do. Especially later in a game after how many different pitchers have made how many different indentations and divvots on the mound?

So give him one, maybe two. If multiple in-inning changes is going to be the norm, there needs to be something done to reduce the amount of dead time.

Here comes the over the top FB

[Nine of twelve]

 

If it's close(not saying this was close) the UMPIRE in NYC (or wherever they are) will not make his fellow UPMIRE look bad and will stick with the call

I've said this before and I'll say it again. The reviewers should NOT know the call on the field. They should rule safe, out, or inconclusive. If they rule inconclusive the call on the field stands.

This Cron guy has been killing us for years. Please get him out.

[yarnivek1972]

Duke has to face Wendle I think.

This I like!

How about one minute?

[mrmpls]

Duke,  ?

[tvagle]

Only fitting end to this inning will be a Strike 3 PB/WP run scores to tie it

That seems like a very good idea. Has it been proposed to MLB?

[yarnivek1972]

Why go out there with Duke warming up and not bring him in?

[Nine of twelve]

 

How about one minute?

8 warmup pitches is about 1 minute.

Except that wouldn't end the inning.

Nice job by MOY.

Fascinating to see for the first time I can recall, Molitor actually doing something that made sense w/ the bullpen. Hildy isn’t exactly dominating the way I’d hoped, but I applaud the change in tactic.

[operation mindcrime]

What a crap sandwich!

[Aggies7]

God we’re terrible aren’t we

[mrmpls]

Little late MOLLY, unreal, why wasent duke in

[glunn]

Those fans still in the stands today deserve free tickets to the next home game.

I honestly have on idea what the answer to the following is; how hard (i.e. how much more time would it take) is it to let someone see replays without seeing the ump make the call?

[tvagle]

Didn't want to put in the ensuing 2-run bomb let alone the rest of the story

Haven't they been punished enough?

This team...I tell ya...

Member when we all thought the rays would be one of the worse teams ever

Right up until the point when he had Duke warming up, a lefty at the plate and didn’t bring him in.
