April 23, 201411 yr Alex Wood and Jose Fernandez combined for 25k last night and 0 bb. Both those guys are fun to watch.

April 23, 201411 yr Author QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 04:35 PM) Wonder if in a year this might be the thing that suddenly returns him to form. More like two years. Forget about this year. Next year he pitches at about 80-85%. The year after is when he should be fully healthy in theory. If you can sign him cheaply next year, with an option for 2016, then you listen. Otherwise, forget it.
April 23, 201411 yr Some idiot in SF/COL game today reached in over CF fence and caught ball with hat. He was ejected in about 2 minutes.

I miss the manager/umpire arguments.

April 24, 201411 yr The problem with replay has been implementation. There are constantly calls that are clear as day to TV viewers, but MLB won't pull the trigger. If they're going to be incredibly conservative, then just let the umpires talk it out on the field and take video out of it. Or just do it right like every other league.

The Yankees dominate New York and the Giants dominate the Bay Area. Yet, the Sox have a pretty steady foothold in the Chicagoland area.

Worth remembering that this is the first time it's been deployed at a large scale, so it is entirely possible they will make improvements to the process as time goes on.
