Nice 1-2-3 inning for Van Buren. Does anyone else get annoyed with Orsillo and Remy's commentary? They're talking about the NHL Playoffs during a baseball game. I'm guessing the ADD has kicked in.
-
It was just on NESN.
-
Papelbon with a mohawk, nice.
-
I hope they give Van Buren some innings Today. He had his good spots and his bad spots last inning.
-
2 RBI Triple. 8-1 Jays.
-
The high fastballs seem to be getting the Jays hitters swinging.
-
RBI Sac Fly, 6-1 Jays.
-
Here comes Van Buren.
-
There we go! Come on Snow, drive in Nixon!
-
Finally a scoreless inning.
-
Halladay has already thrown 54 pitches.
-
I don't show any faith in us scoring a whole lot of runs Today. Who does Francona have in the lineup? J.T Snow, Cora, Bard? Real run producers there.
-
Nothing is going right right now. Nixon gets a hit but forgets the baserunning rule and gets tagged for another out. On top of that, Dinardo is getting shelled so far. Whoever says we don't need Roger Clemens has lost his head.
-
It's still locked.
-
Nevermind, 4-0 now. This is not good.
-
2-0 Jays, here we go again.
-
This is so weird. MLB.TV just had on the Roger Sportsnet telecast for the top of the 1st, and then they went to NESN.

Don't you have a Yankee game to watch?

I started a game thread yesterday, but nobody ever opened it back up.

Most of those changes were negative changes such as no more scheduled doubleheaders, lowering the pitchers mound, and changing the baseball. Sabermetrics was a good change in that it helped general managers make wiser roster movements. Lights for night games? Good change. Baseball on TV? Thats ok too, although the radio broadcasts are so much better. Anyways, the good changes didn't distort what was going on the field. It didn't affect the way the actual game was played. Instant Replay however will, and thats why me and others can make the argument that it will destroy the integrity of the game. As the infamous saying goes "just because theres a technological breakthrough doesn't mean it's always the next best thing."

Actually, I did hear about a year ago that Theo's plan was to cut the team payroll down to about 100 Mil in the near future. Do the Yankees plan on cutting any payroll?
-
No, no, and NO. Instant Replay would ruin the purity of the game of baseball. Other sports can use it because they had no purity to begin with. How about we stop using microscopic strike zones, and call pitches a little above the belly a strike? Thats the first thing Major League Baseball should do, is reinforce the rulebook strike zone. As far as base calling is concerned, more often than not the umpires will make the correct call on a bang bang play. Mistakes will happen though, but thats the human aspect of the game. Technology has gotten a little over our heads these days, before you know it people will be calling for machines to replace the players.

Whos to say Stern has a better bat than Harris? The guy had a .190 OBP, even though it was only 12 ABs still, can you really say Stern would of been on base tonight for Papi's home run? -

Harris adds nothing? What makes you say that? The guy brings baserunning ability and a stellar glove in the outfield. Just like with Gonzalez everyone should realize that Harris is not here to add thunder in the lineup. -
