Some state high school associations have adopted the "courtesy runner" rule, where a player can be designated to run for the catcher or pitcher when they reach base without having to sub them out of the game. It was installed to give managers a way to get another player into the game, as well as speed up transitions between innings.I expect the AL to add this by the end of the decade to artificially increase scoring even further.Bob Sacamano said:
I remember those games. Usually Monday or Tuesday nights against Houston, Cincinnati, or Pittsburgh. For some reason the Cardinals didn't want to give away 8000 seats to weekend games against the Cubs or Mets. Go figure.ffldrew said:
Download the Uber App to your phone and use that to get yourself a car. It will be roughly 30% more than a cab but well worth it. Boston might even have Uber X available which would be about the same price as a cab. Über let's you know how long it will take to pick you up, double however minutes it shows to be safe.

Just a thought but how about scheduling a private airport limo from any hotel nearby at a set time, and just walk to that hotel and wait for your car to show up?
A batter squeezed pretty good? What does that even mean?
Lackey about to pitch in the biggest game of his life... if he doesn't rise to the occasion I could see Cards bats waking up. They are no slouch offensively.
it's really just one dude. also kind of weak of you and your 10 posts to come in here and throw out insults
Even Brooks said on Twitter last night that it was a well-called game, aside from the first call on Carpenter.A batter squeezed pretty good? What does that even mean?
Looking at the pitch plots for this game it was actually remarkably well called considering both guys were throwing gas and had sick motion on the ball.
That explains why almost every pitch since about 7:15 pm or so last Thursday has been so nerve-wracking.Matthias said:
Yep. Gomes's HR made it 4-1 in the top of the sixth. Cards got one in the bottom of the seventh.
Carpenter and Craig are homegrown bench bats from the last two years that have transformed into sensational regulars. Adams, Wong and Taveras are supposed to be that next crop, but unfortunately Taveras is hurt and Wong has looked a little overwhelmed.
They probably did not help themselves by giving Miller and Mujica two dead roster spots. Though the players who could have taken their spots would not have been great options either.
Freese and Jay regressed this season, Freese frighteningly so. I don't think we would be noticing the lack of bench punch as much if Freese and Jay were producing at 2012 levels.
I just assumed Craig would move to RF next season if they didn't resign Beltran. Adams will need everyday at-bats. I have no idea what that means for Taveras or the CF situation. Lots of different directions they could take this off-season.
Well, RF is Victorino for the next couple years, and LF Nava had an identical season to Beltran at the plate this year, and only cost 500K
Not sure id call 12 HRs 66 RBIs and a .445 slugging identical to 24 HRs 84 RBIs and a .491 slugging. Beltran also hits at a much less HR friendly park. He's a much scarier hitter than Nava. Ellsbury's gone, Victorino can play any outfield position. Beltran on a short deal would be great protection for Ortiz imo.
Whole lot of incorrect in here but I'll throw out the bolded:
