There are plenty of columns advocating automated strike zones. Just type that phrase in Google. Here's just one. http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/14599589/re-imagining-baseball-robot-umpires-home-plate

My answer to this would be based on pure math. Acquiring a good #2 now should add 2-3 wins to our total for the year. The rest depends on a whole lot of variables.

Emp9, by your definition, roller derby is more of a sport than the Olympic decathlon.
-
That's a starting point for the data. What this doesn't show is the amount of time missed per injury. Look at all the baseball pitchers who have Tommy John surgery and miss a year plus. Not to mention the ones whose careers are terminated by arm injuries.
-
I don't see how you can say that a footrace isn't a sport just because the people trying to beat you are running beside you and not 'playing defense' i.e. trying to block your path. I think you're taking a very narrow view of what a sport is.
-
Do you remember which game? I'd like to check out the particulars because I don't recall Farrell doing anything quite that egregious.
-
You're blissfully ignoring the key component of 'competition' that separates sports from activities.
-
If you need a defense for it to be a sport I guess track and field, swimming and skating and skiing are out too. Darn, that's really going to take some of the buzz out of the Olympics.

Unluckily, Ben blew that money and more on Panda and Castillo.
-
This means Clay can go back in the rotation. He had a 2.48 ERA pitching to Leon last year.
-
But players who are in good physical shape also get a myriad of injuries. I don't think anyone ever suggested guys like Fred Lynn or Dustin Pedroia or Ellsbury or Teixeira get a lot of injuries because they're out of shape.
-
Watch the Ryder Cup sometime and tell me golf isn't a sport. No less than Michael Jordan says it's his favorite single sporting event.
-
I'll clarify me: Injury likelihood is what I've been talking about through all of this.
-
"A measure of success" - what a great phrase.
-
Just another rush to judgment.
-
Yes, especially when he might be out for the season.
-
lol
-
Yeah, I thought MLB might be ahead of the NBA in injuries. Pro football is a game that probably shouldn't even be played. It's basically designed to shred the human body.

You can take the posters out of BDC, but it's sheer hell getting BDC out of some of the posters.

Swihart's injury wasn't wear and tear, it was a collision with a wall. Holt has a concussion. Sam Travis is now out for the year after tearing his ACL making a tag on a rundown play. All young guys. There are a lot of 'freakish' injuries in baseball. That's the whole point. There are so many freakish injuries that it's reasonable to conclude that freakish injuries are an integral part of the game.
-
What about our boy Freddie Lynn, moon? How many times do we hear it - "probably would have been in the Hall of Fame if not for all the injuries".
-
And there are guys that just get forgotten about, like Workman, who is probably toast.
-
Or Carson Smith. There's no shortage of evidence.
-
Tell Swihart right now that baseball is easy on the body.
-
Pro bowling does have one similarity to pitching a baseball, because the strike ball in bowling requires a twisting of the wrist that imparts a lot of side-spin.
