[Good Posting Judge]

Preller is a maniac. Good lord.

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

What brand of shoe polish does Dan Plesac use to dye his hair?

 

[JaxBill]

So EASPORTS and the rest of game manufacturers go to great lengths to make games look like live sports. ESPN decides to make live sports look like video game. Smh.

Let's Go Mets!

 

[Northern Voice]

Tanaka basically a junkballer (albeit one with 7 different pitches) now?

 

[Raider Nation]

Yanks have been mathematically eliminated.

Has Dr. James Andrews ever made a visit to the mound?

 

[shadyridr]

Yanks lineup still in TampA

 

[Raider Nation]

They are on pace to score 0 runs this season, which is right in line with my projection.

 

[Annyong]

Rockies lineup is pretty ridiculous

Blackmon

CarGo

Tulo

Morneau

Arenado

Dickerson

Catcher Guy

DJ LaMaigfdgdu

Made it one trip through the lineup without an injury so far. Looking good!

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Speaking of a lot of 11-10 games ...

Pedroia goes yard already (well, as "yard" as you need to go hitting in Philly or to RF in Yankee Stadium).

What's the record for HR by one team in a season again?

You could have given me 100 guesses and I wouldn't have gotten it

Mookie!!

 

[Northern Voice]

Didi Gregorious not smart.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Mookie!!

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Kyle Lohse doesn't know what hit him.

 

[shadyridr]

I still see batters stepping out of the batter box after every pitch.

A Better Call Saul episode list?

 

[Raider Nation]

Hamels pitching BP.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Hamels pitching BP.

4 or the 5 hits are bombs and he has a balk. Ouch.

 

[jfranco77]

Red Sox annihilating Hamels' trade value. All part of the plan.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I have too many fantasy teams, I'm getting excited about pretty much every hit.

Ryan Braun, ribcage injury on opening day. Great.

I like the K zone thing quite a bit. you guys are ####### grumpy

I don't mind it, and frankly, I think it's a good idea.

To enjoy watching baseball, I think viewers really need understand and appreciate the pitching. Whether it's a great pitching performance or a struggling pitcher. It's 90% of what you watch. I think the K-Zone will make that a little easier for a new fan. And despite what the whiners say, it's really not intrusive for the fans that don't "need" it. Especially as people get used to it.

That it looks like a video game isn't a bad thing either. There's a whole bunch of kids that currently don't watch MLB, but play the hell out of some MLB The Show.

As the father of a 15 year old, I can tell you that the playing of sports video games outweighs the viewing of actual sporting events at least 10 to 1

Yeah, but they're still watching/following the sports games they play.

No. They really aren't.

 

[scoobus]

I've never known anyone who played a baseball video game who didn't watch/follow the league ever. So they just don't know any of the players? Doesn't seem like very much fun.

To be fair, when I was a kid they didn't follow sports they played either. And we only had Atari, didn't have the internet, and had to call our girlfriends from pay phones.

Obviously, I didn't do a ton of research before making that comment, but I'd assume it's quite true.

Either way, I'd assume MLB, ESPN, and the regional networks want to find ways to get kids that play baseball video games tuning in to watch more baseball. The K-Zone won't be a magic solution, but it's a familiar look to them that might make them a little more interested.

Kevin Gregg to the rescue!!!!!

Kevin Gregg to the rescue!!!!!

Had no idea he was still in the league. I remember making that a proxy pick for Larry like 3 years ago.

 

[Limp Ditka]

You do know that these newfangled video games actually have the real players in them, don't you?

I saw him last week on the mound, I did a double take. Same ole Kevin Gregg thankfully.

Meaning they don't know the players before they play the game.
