    http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-automated-strike-zone-20150810-story.html The games progressed smoothly and the technology was well-received — even by the umpires. "Since we found out more about it — how it's going to work, where it's going to work — I've had more positive feedback than I have negative," Dean Poteet, who worked behind home plate in one of the games, told the Associated Press. Poteet was still busy even without making judgments on balls and strikes. He was responsible for fair or foul calls on balls in the infield, watched for balks, and made safe or out calls on plays at the plate.

    Barely improving.

    I think 11 smiley options are perfectly cromulent. There used to be more here (Papi specific emojis), but they tend to get overused.

    So why is Bagwell not in the HOF. He's one of the greatest 1b of all time and there have been no stories of him and performance enhancers. People just look at his build and say "HGH." Why wouldn't they say that for Frank Thomas too? At least Piazza had backne...
  5. mvp 78
    It's ok. He's getting laid off at the end of August.

    The bad news is that Clay might not be good enough for the back end of the rotation anymore. All you have to do is look at his WAR for this year to see that.
  7. mvp 78
    Whatever

    Won't be any room on the roster for Moncada since Benintendi will be up in July.

    Missed calls affect my enjoyment of the game. That's my point. You can bloviate about whatever, but it doesn't change how I feel about it. Balls and strikes are central to baseball, so let's get the calls right. The more you talk about how important ball and strike calls are to baseball, the more I realize that a change should be made.

    I think Howard is probably THE worst. Fielder is pretty much a big stinky dog turd now.
  11. mvp 78
    Clay Buchholz is the worst pitcher. He's bottom 3 in WAR and has worse k/9 numbers than the last two guys and a more lucky BABIP.

    I know you're going to be mad about this, but it should say "Above .500" but some dingus came into my office and I got distracted. Sorry all.
  13. mvp 78
    Kobe is probably not Top 20 all time, imo.
  14. mvp 78
    I'm just taking it step by step. Robot Umps 2020!
  15. mvp 78
    We're almost half way through the season and now is probably a good time for updated projections from you all.
  16. mvp 78
    You think Chris Paul is better than Oscar Robertson?

    Durant is a great player bro. I think before the injuries he may have been in the same basketball court bro, but now he's probably just in the stands bro. There's no way anyone that Carmelo was any good a couple of years ago bro. Bro, he's sucked a big fat one since going to NYC in 2010 bro. He might score a lot of points on bad teams bro, but that really means s*** in the NBA. He takes the most shots year in and year out bro and plays no defense. http://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/per_career.html

    Bro. What kind of argument is "people said Carmelo was better 10 years ago" bro? That has nothing to do with how Lebron is underrated now bro.
  20. mvp 78
    I'm not arguing that the homeplate ump should be completely replaced by a computer. I'm arguing that a computer should take over the balls and strikes calls only. The ump can still call plays at the plate, check swings, foul tips, allow for time to be called, etc. As long as umps continue to miss 13% of their calls, a change should be made. Could you imagine the outrage if the 1b ump missed 13% of the plays at 1b?
  21. mvp 78
    I agree.
  22. mvp 78
    Who?
  23. mvp 78
    He's the best current player bro. I've never heard anyone say Carmelo was better bro. That sounds like a made up argument bro. Carmelo might not be top 20 of current players bro.
  24. mvp 78
    Best case scenario: Clay pitches a no hitter, his arm detaches from his body after the last pitch
  25. mvp 78
    Underrating a guy by saying he's top 5, but not best of all time? What?
