Plus the the difference in time between light/speed is impossible to discern by humans at that short of distance.

 

[pantagrapher]

I guess you have to be nowhere near 1st base to record a put out. Is it just overreaction or is umpiring as bad as it ever has been so far this year? In watching mainly the Cubs, there are blown calls hurting both sides nearly every game and the strike zone is a complete mystery far too often.

I've seen some exceptionally bad strike zones this season. And many seem to change from half inning to half inning. I feel like umps are trying to call more high strike, which I'm fine with. But I think it could be throwing their whole zone out of whack.

OK, it's not just my imagination.

#Pirates are in process of filing a formal complaint with MLB about ump Campos inconsistent strike zone in last night's game

At the moment, the Yankees and Red Sox occupy 4th and 5th place in the AL East.

 

[Grahamburn]

I wonder if Adam Dunn cares about the consecutive games with a strikeout streak? His approach fascinates me.

 

[JZilla]

I remember watching Rick Monday play. Now he looks like AJ Ellis' mitt. I'm like Eephus old.

What kind of prizes are awarded for being in 1st place with 85% of the season remaining?

No, seriously. Where else could we find out what the standings are without your help?

 

[JaxBill]

Never thought I'd miss Joe West but a couple blown calls in Phils-Nats because no 3B ump.

Not so sure that's any worse than having Joe West in there

You seem really bitter. Calm down. Your Lakers, Rangers and Crimson Tide all look great this year.

Aren't these late-90s Mariners jerseys? When did they bring these back?

I'm actually watching an NBA game over that thing, that's how bad those teams are.

The early, early Mariners uniforms are so awful that they're actually great.Like the Vancouver Canucks Burger King sweaters.

Nobody drags a frontrunner into a pointless pissing match quite like Capella. Still brings a tear to my eye.

Pujols booed at home after his last at-bat. Getting ugly.

The "frontrunner" stuff never gets old. Raiders last Super Bowl win was, like, 1928.

Got away from that soul sucking world, thank god. Nothing says scumbag like having your boss tell you a 13-minute phone call was billable for an hour.

Guillen is a sick *******. He went back to Bell again tonight.

 

[Raider Nation]

Orsillo and Gammons were in the Red Sox booth, discussing if Aaron Cook should get a second start "if things keep going well."

Up to that point, he had thrown ONE whole scoreless inning.

Cue Baltimore getting about 16 straight hits, including a shot by Adam Jones which landed in Maine.

I'd love to make a list of "All or Nothing" hitters. Reynolds would certainly be near the head of the class.Who trumps him?Dave Kingman? Rob Deer? Adam Dunn?

Micky Tettleton, yeah all guys of that ilk. I like Reynolds when he gets hot, homers, singles, walks, pop ups and K's. But you hit him 6th and hope you have guys on base in front of him when he makes contact.

 

[Captain Hook]

Brewers will put both OF Carlos Gomez and SS Alex Gonzalez on DL tomorrow

Gomez with a hamstring injury. Sounds like Gonzalez may be done for the year with an ACL tear (MRI on Monday). Brewers have now lost Narveson, Gamel and very possibly Gonzalez for the year. Ouch.

So glad I benched Ubaldo today.

I'm guessing you don't often see 6-6 games in the 16th. It's usually more like 1-1 in the 16th.

How do both teams have NOBODY left in the pen? How is that possible? It's not like we're in the 24th inning.

[Bottomfeeder Sports]

They played 13 on Friday.Today both starters were out relatively early and both teams were using relievers an inning or so at a time.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Wow, if you are a Matt Cain owner like I am you are pretty pissed right now. Worst run support of any starter since 2006 and he gets screwed again on a 9th inning error. Guy can't buy a win.
