    i get what you're saying now. and i'm all for ALL of the calls being done by ABS. with that said, it's not a large percentage of calls that are missed by the umps. and if a kid thinks he's right, then he has the right to challenge. it's a great tool. like i said, i've seen a lot of AAA (where it's used) and AA (where it isn't) and i am fully in favor of it, even if it's a limited number of challenges. and i KNOW the players are in favor of it.

    they'd still have to call plays at the plate when a runner is trying to score, but yeah, pretty easy up to that.
  3. JimEd
    that would be fine with me.

    have any of you people even seen this in action? i've seen a number of AAA games where ABS was used and the amount of time it takes to review a call is insignificant -in fact, it's almost instantaneous. and it is nothing life the NFL if that's what you're thinking. i think it's great for the game and should be used throughout MLB and the minors. Joe West and Angel Hernandez aside, most MLB umps are really good. AAA umps not as good and AA umps can downright horrible. do you have any idea what this does to a kids psyche? i've seen pitcher and hitters confidence completely shattered by inconsistent strike zones. the ABS will allow more consistency throughout all of baseball. i can't wait.

    yep....these kind of things always work themselves out. and, frankly, it's nice for a change to see us have more players than positions available rather than the other way around.
  6. JimEd
    heckuva lineup. and it makes so much sense, it'll probably never happen.
  7. JimEd
    he's always been at third and feels comfortable there. but yeah, maybe he'll see it some day.
  8. JimEd
    agreed. some people are born to follow and some are born to lead. nothing wrong with either. i think Raffy is a follower and though he might not like it. he will do what is asked of him,
  9. JimEd
    there may have been something lost in translation, but if Raffy really meant what was reported, i find this very disappointing. and i can't help but think of Mookie being all too happy to play 2nd or SS or wherever last year for the Dodgers -wanting to do whatever it took to help the team win.
  10. JimEd
    that's the way i see it. if they got rid of him and ALL of his salary today, i'd be very surprised if they spent the money elsewhere.
  11. JimEd
    possible, but does anyone really think Bregman would opt out after this year?
  12. JimEd
    for all the bashing i've done of Henry, i'll give him credit for finally deciding to spend. adding Bregman has given me hope for the season.
  13. JimEd
    this team may have some weaknesses, but depth isn't one of them.
  14. JimEd
    just saw that on X. insane.
  15. JimEd
    exactly what i was thinking. they'll do it; i have no doubt.
  16. JimEd
    EXACTLY!
  17. JimEd
    i understood (and agree) with what you said. i'm just saying that the results don't support them "being smart".
  18. JimEd
    really? how smart are they when they finish middle to the bottom of the pack every year?
  19. JimEd
    it's so obvious that saving Henry money is their main concern. not winning.
  20. JimEd
  21. JimEd
    agreed. another brilliant move by the geniuses in the Sox front office.
  22. JimEd
    i have a funny feeling that it's not healed and he will miss significant time and end up having surgery. and then we'll really be wishing we had Bregman.
  23. JimEd
  24. JimEd
    i'm actually expecting the idiots in our FO to claim him.
  25. JimEd
    Dodgers just DFA'd Braiser.
