    Technology is market-driven. There is no market for dinosaurs…

    It’s not about making umps look foolish or training them to see better. Calling balls and strikes looks easy, and maybe in local Beer League Softball games it is. But in MLB, it’s a job that requires determining if a projectile traveling 95-100 mph touched any part of an invisible box with varying dimensions, and doing so live with no help from any electronic tools. Oh and also includes being scrutinized by fans watching TV that think they have a better view and commentators that have access to replays, and now being checked against an electronic sensor system. It’s an insanely difficult job to do in the first place - probably the most difficult task of any official in any sport - and the failure to be perfect opens the door for someone who thinks you look foolish and just need to “see better”. That said, Bucknor does often look foolish and needs to see better…

    It’s going to have to be that way, because the system right now doesn’t determine if the batter swings..

    But not pitching very often…

    This. Last year, the stolen base was a weapon for the Sox. This year it’s a complete afterthought…

    You definitely have a Crusade on your hands, complete with slogan. When tee shirts become available, count me in. L. Maybe XL for that baggy look….

    It seems Slaten has fallen far and fallen fast…

    And dinosaurs are extinct, never to be seen on Earth again, much like your sense of whimsy…

    The last two games the Sox have jumped out to 4-0 and 3-0 leads and IMMEDIATELY let both opponents right back in it. Can we go 3 nights in a row?

    Rumor has it if CB Bucknor acknowledges a pitch was thrown, it’s considered a moral victory…

    First people want it to be 3D. Then the’ll want is shaped like a dinosaur. Then an animated dinosaur. Before you know it, that’s not enough and they’ll be using cloning technology to bring surviving DNA matter back to life to bring the dinosaurs back. And once those dinosaurs start reproducing, there’s no putting that toothpaste back in the tube. Which is fine with me.. You got greedy and demanded a Cretaceous Apocalypse, and then go mucking anout trying to clean up messy toothpaste spills in the most futile manner possible!! Some nerve! Just stick with 2D and be glad you have it…

    Yelling…

    But the playoff format has expanded multiple times and very likely some of those 2-8 teams that missed under older formats might have qualified under newer ones…

    Willson Contreras, Sonny Gray, Aroldis Chapman, Trevor Story, IKF, Danny Coulombe, Patrick Sandoval. Maybe not enough. Maybe not the right guys…

    Two busted chins in a matter of weeks? You need to upgrade her bicycle helmet!

    Yes. Delusion is a fine coping mechanism…

    Predictable and unreliable are antonyms. Pick a lane…

    No. I plan on going every time they come to Chicago. At either park…

    Pitching is vague. Tolle? Bello? Sandoval? Dealing Mayer would have made less sense than moving an OF…

    So we’re improved over last year. The glass is half full! And filling rapidly. We won’t discuss what it’s filling up with…

    Mayer to SS, Story to 2b. Stop worrying about platoons. If Romero and/or Arias force a re-evaluation in the near future, tackle that issue when it happens. No reason to get ahead of potential depth issues…
  22. notin
    I can get my resume together quickly…
  23. notin
    What did they want for him? I think my last proposal of Duran plus Bello might not have been satisfactory…

    You do realize he plans on using plumbing tools and sewing you back up with a craft glue gun?

    Exactly. We will all make it to middle school someday!!
