    He was fairly healthy this year

    Couldn't answer my responses. Figures Problem is, its really common for people to throw around terms like robo umpires without actually thinking about what goes into it. Robo umpires is an endeavor that would cost millions a year for teams, and would probably be even more inconsistent. Furthermore, they leave the possibility of the games being fixed by anyone who can effect the technology both internal to the franchise, and external (I.e. hackers). Umpires are the best method we have of judging baseball games

    Does anyone know the record for most consecative seasons with 200LP

    Who is incharge of locating the screen, can a technical person control the screen, how will the screen know where the players knees are? Or is that going to be calibrated at bat to at bat by a technical administrator. If so how can the judgement of that administrator be any different from the umpires. Doesn't matter how you look at it, there is personal judgement involved. There is similar technology in cricket for the LBW and while it is not a massive failure, it has shown to be faulty at times, and often becomes unreliable.

    Sorry mobile lasers on the ball, or in the ball park. That creates further issues, what if a laser malfunctions, what then, have the at bat again due to technical issues? We are talking about 14 stadiums a night with about 300 pitches thrown for 6-7 months out of the year. If a laser is measuring the knees of the player even a single deviation point could drastically hurt the integrity of the game? What about calibrating the laser from stadium to stadium? Or the laser not being able to read the player in particular circumstances. What then? What about a ball hitting the catcher's glove and the chip malfunctioning, is the ball going to have a functioning chip indicator, how will that effect the trajectory of the ball? Are we going to use new balls, every single time to ensure a ball hasn't been damaged by the catcher catching the ball. The amount of technical issues are overwhelming.

    Doesn't a height of the hitter also determine the strike zone? If so, how would the chip know the height of the hitter "The bottom of the strike zone is a line at the hollow beneath the kneecap." So how would the chip know where the kneecap of the hitter is, to determine the lower boundary of the strike zone?

    ^ he wont come here. They can get american citizenship easily, but our lazy government will do anything to give refugees citizenship, but with cuban defectors and such not so much. All they would really have to do is promise to give their whole family canadian citizenship, why not he is going to making lots of money.

    Why should Pompey go back to the minors, kids seems to be able to play at this level. He squared up the Felix ball good, better than any swing Gose has shown in 600 at bats. I say throw the kid in, and lets see what he can do Either the souffle will rise or it wont. If he is any good he will be able to learn at the MLB level.

    Trade in assets They should have traded for assets, not being active at the deadline with three games up killed this team. Employee morale is a thing,
  11. RealAccountant
    1. Jansenn going to Cuba and getting sick, blowing 4 games in the second half (Needed him to be pretty much automatic to stay in this thing) 2. Gibby being Gibby blowing games (Pompey for Goins pinch running, Morrow/Redmond being in important games, not being much of a motivator) 3. AA not doing anything in the deadline, when we were three games up, virtually signalling that he didn't believe in the team, and killing team morale
  12. RealAccountant
    What a garbage team this is, now they are increasing their run differential when it matters nothing,
  13. RealAccountant
    AA won't do anything. No money
  14. RealAccountant
    If a pitcher's starts aren't being converted into wins, then why should that pitcher win the Cy young, since the purpose of baseball is to win games. I am all for new stats, like FIP better than ERA but wins tell a lot about the picture. They tell us whether or not the pitcher is a winner
  15. RealAccountant
    Perhaps you are right, though one can only take one's chances and hope for the best
  16. RealAccountant
    If you want to see change, hope that they drop the rest of their games
  17. RealAccountant
    damn you Hurl :-( damn you to hell Just kidding you're allright
  18. RealAccountant
    You might get your 80 wins
  19. RealAccountant
    MLB was suppose to increase the playoff races via the second wild card. That did not work in the NL this year, and has done nothing to drive in the crowds in the AL, time to go to 8 teams per conference playoffs structure to mirror NHL/NBA
  20. RealAccountant
    Yankees playoff spot watch continues
  21. RealAccountant
    Gibby has lost this team, they are playing like they are to get rid of him
  22. RealAccountant
    Morrow is a diabetic If he gets so much as cold, he will be out for a month. That is why the guy gets so many freak injuries. Its not that they are freaky, its just that his immune system and recovery is weak. Waste of any money.
  23. RealAccountant
    They are Still in a better position then the jays
  24. RealAccountant
    Might as well since a cleanup is coming after next year anyways
  25. RealAccountant
    For what pitchers are going for it would be a shame if AA can't pick up the option and deal him for a decent asset
