    Double double!

    This is it. The game should be played according to the rules and the rules should be enforced as accurately as possible. If automated pitch calling enforces the rules better than humans, which I believe is the case, then it should be implemented.

    Radar looks like the rain is essentially done for the night. They will play, and I predict no stoppages.

    But this is not the point. Not at all. If a player's good play is counteracted by another player's good play, that's part of what makes the game great. If a player's good play is counteracted by an inaccurate call by an umpire that could be eliminated with technology, that's unacceptable.

    Well, missed calls are certainly not good, and to me that equals bad.

    I don't understand or accept the argument that automated calling of pitches takes something good away from the game. To me, the most accurate method of officiating is the best because it rewards what should be rewarded, specifically superior performance by the players. A pitcher should be rewarded for throwing a pitch that goes through the strike zone, and a batter should be rewarded for taking a pitch that does not go through the strike zone. If humans do the best job of calling pitches then that's how it should be done. If automated systems are better than humans then that's how it should be done.

    What, are you saying we could come back and tie the game?
  8. Nine of twelve
    Ka-Boom! But there should have been ducks on.
  9. Nine of twelve
    And that was about as opposite as you can get.

    Max has to let Byron steal.
  11. Nine of twelve
    Because Vasquez.
  12. Nine of twelve
    Errrrrrkkkkkk.
  13. Nine of twelve
    What, and put in Vasquez?
  14. Nine of twelve
    Errk

    And what in the world has gotten into Boston? Not that I feel bad for them.

    It required the only two players on the field for the Jays not knowing what the count was--both the batter and the baserunner. If either one had been paying attention that would not have happened. Additionally it required Cron to be paying attention.

    That was an example of how you can be watching a rather mundane baseball game and suddenly something happens that I've never seen happen before.

    Hey, thanks for giving us the free out!
  19. Nine of twelve
    Yeah, probably.

    Good play by turtle. It helped to have a catcher's arm on that one.
  21. Nine of twelve
    I haven't read all the posts yet, but I have to say this: Do not give away a major league catcher. Ever.

    The good reason is that half of MLB teams can be considered northern teams. NYY, NYM, Bos, Phi, Pit, Cle, Bal, Cin, Det, CWS, ChC, Min, Col, StL, KC. Is it fair to have all those teams play lots of road games early in the season, always, every year? Probably not.
  23. Nine of twelve
    That leaves Mejia, Harper and Vasquez. It may be time to see what these guys are made of.

    BTW, I believe this is the first time a Twins home game has been scheduled to start at 18:40. This is new this year. It's my understanding that all weekday night games before Memorial Day and after Labor Day are to start at this time. I think it's to make it more conducive for families to attend on school nights.

    OK, Rocco, you got away with one today. Let this be a lesson to you when it comes to who not to choose to close the next win.
