  1. Did you notice who's pitching? One of the best relief pitchers of all time. Not an easy assignment.
  2. first time I've agreed with you in like 6 months.
  3. Chicken & Waffles on a stick is genius...genius I say.
  4. Open day at the dome is the worst.
  5. Thank god Price wasn't starting tonight as there will probably be 45,000 clueless, drunk idiots there.
  6. Monday is the home opener in Fenway. I know it "shouldn't" matter - but having your big FA ace start that game is probably viewed as a massive positive for the Red Sox.
  7. Decent point. Umps are allowed to review the catcher blocking the plate at home too...which is also somewhat of a judgement play...like it, I think he argument is the ump has too many things to be watching for at once....
  8. Watched Finnegan yesterday. He has to try really hard to generate velocity.
  9. Christ the general population is stupid. Look hun, there's a picture on a wall. I should buy that. It must be good.
  10. I guess I don't understand ads. I'm not buying a s***** Acer computer because the have a sign up on the wall at Rogers Centre. Get rid of them.
  11. I wish we could get rid of the advertisements on the OF wall. Otherwise - looks pretty good.
  12. And he trusts Leon??? Must have soft gums.
  13. I read his velocity was way up this spring too.
  14. Interesting take - but the rule says if the runner initiates (or attempts to make) contact with the fielder for the purpose of breaking up a double play. If Jose slide next to the bag - towards Forsythe's feet...isn't that a blatant attempt to initiate contact with the fielder for the purpose of breaking up a double play? The other thing nobody has mentioned is that Jose overslide the bag - making no attempt to maintain contact with the bag.
  15. Actually I still play competitive men's hardball FWIW. I simply disagree with the notion that it should be part of the game, simply because "it's always been" part of the game. Just because it's been allowed for a long time doesn't make it right. I disagree with notion that a runner should be allowed to attempt to interfere with a fielder in any situation - and it's especially frustrating when it's allowed in one situation, but not another. I think sports should evolve - just like the human race does.
  16. We'll agree to disagree. I think if you come off the bag on a steal attempt and are tagged - you're out. We now have the ability to make the right call more often and I'm glad we're using it.
  17. I still think that's true. I think this call is on the very edge of what is allowed/disallowed. Whether he truly interfered or not - Jose attempted to interfere as he clearly threw his arms and upper body offline from his slide. Players will learn you simply slide into the bag with the intent of trying to get their as fast as possible - trying to beat the throw...not with the intent of interfering with the fielder.
  18. Sorry - you said "Personally, I think you should be able to do whatever the hell you want within the baseline". "Whatever the hell" suggests you actually mean everything is fair game. It certainly gives the impression you mean, hit, grab, pull, push, run over, etc.
  19. Clearly what A-rod did is "more" interference than what Jose did, but I'm not interesting in categorizing the amount of interference that's run. If you intentionally interfere, which both A-rod and Jose did - you're out.
