And haven't there been some issues?
-
Does this mean talk of a potentially damaging work stoppage is being overhyped?
-
Until now, I never noticed that "using" and "suing" are anagrams.
-
We don't really know that yet.
-
I don't see why it's that complicated. It's just a matter of specifying what the replay can overturn.
-
Stroman is not that much better than E-Rod. Maybe E-Rod will be the real "bargain" of the FA starters...
-
The whole point is that instant replay shouldn't be used to detect if the foot lifted off the bag by a millimeter for a nanosecond after it hit the bag. It should be used to detect if the foot hit the bag before the tag (or the force out). It's a simple argument. If you disagree, that's fine, obviously.

Correa, Seager, Bryant and Scherzer were all on WS winning teams.
-
Wow, that's pretty crazy money - an AAV of $35 mill.
-
Anyone who wouldn't want Max Scherzer on their team is insane, of course, but I fear the amount of money he'll command may be too. And the Dodgers are just the team to pay it, with Kershaw probably not coming back.
-
That's it, no more arguing from me on this topic, it's a little too political. I respect and understand the views of those who are opposed to this. I think in the final analysis it's one of those "majority rules" issues.
-
The thing is, you're dealing with the vagaries of the baseball payroll system, with its built-in hefty instant raises. I did a comparison not long ago between E-Rod and Stroman. It showed that Stroman's pitching fWAR per inning is about 5% better. But E-Rod is also 22 months younger. Anyway, you're right that the question is whether that chunk of money could be spent better or not. Hard to say. Glad Bloom is the one who has to make the calls.
-
OK, but we're also allowed to look at whether it's fair to expect a sliding baseball cleat to maintain perfect contact with a canvas bag. It's not a serious issue like the one with balls and strikes.
-
Fast enough that you couldn't see it with the naked eye.
-
If the runner slides into the base, yes. You're only safe if you momentarily lose contact with the bag after hitting it.

Will JD Martinez pick up his player option for $19.35M?

May have to call the grammar cops on that one... -
In that case he has to call time out, I guess, the same as they do now.
-
The Braves beat the 106 win Dodgers in 6, and the Astros in 6. It's a very legit win.
-
Must be an extremity, foot or hand. Camera or sensors underneath or in the bag will be used.

"Moderately"? -
A quiet $825 K!
-
Thanks. This rule needs to be re-written too, methinks. I mean, home plate isn't even a square, or rectangular shape - it's a rectangle and a triangle stuck together. , or an "irregular pentagon", that tapers to a point. Not ideal.
-
And now a question regarding the strike zone. Does it actually say in the rule book that the strike zone is based on the entire surface of home plate, or is it only the front line of the plate? If it's only the front of the plate, that would make robo calls of balls and strikes much simpler.
-
And the going rate for other DH's.

Which makes it even friendlier.
