Calls like this make have me convinced that the rules / standards for replay review need to be changed in baseball. Pillar nearly certainly beat that throw, and I don't even see an argument to the contrary. Equally clear, though, is that there simply wasn't enough video evidence to overturn if standard is "conclusiveness". Baseball should consider requiring the video replay official in NY to ignore the call on the field and simply use the video to make the call he thinks is more likely to be correct. (I can't take credit for this idea; a lot of baseball writers have been arguing for just this.) The human eye is amazingly inaccurate and incapable of "seeing" / measuring the hundredths of a second intervals, not to mention umpires can only be looking at the glove or bag at once, and so are too often relying on both clunky sight and sound. The more you think about it, the more absurd it seems. It's silly to rely on iron-clad, 100% "conclusiveness" when the original call is one that was made by relying on so flawed a process.

That's a horrible way to watch a game though..

 

Well I can't really watch the whole thing right now cuz im at work so I have a choice of plugging into the TBS on my phone with the game going, or put my phone on silent and listen to the radio on the work computer which i'm allowed to do. Then if something worth to look at happens I'll take a look at my phone

Have to sync the two streams. I have the audio now about two sec ahead of audio. That's ok, as game buffer increases, I can move the video feed further ahead.

I really like Choo. In fact, I like all the Rangers except for Odor. I have zero against them. They were one of my favourite orgs before last year's playoffs.

 

I'm pretty sure there's not one attractive person on this team. It's possible I've overlooked someone, and obviously is doesn't really matter, but yeah.

Couldn't say it better myself

How do you pause the radio?

I'd add Dyson and Gomez to that list, other than that, I agree.

Such objectification. Vile female!
