Running 2015 MLB Regular-Season Thread

So much for how the hitters take more time to adjust to colder weather theory.

 

The umpires who can't get a damn ball-strike call right. That's what caused this.

 

It's really distracting to watch. I think replaying borderline calls with the K-Zone is probably ideal, but if we're going to see it every pitch, I'd rather it pop up immediately after the pitch hits the glove than be on screen constantly.

 

It's there just enough to be a distraction, and it doesn't really even help, because the pitch comes in too fast.

It would be better used for slow-motion replays for borderline calls.

 

Can we add that FoxTrax "glow puck" technology on every pitch? Thanks.

Maybe a big "POW!!" graphic when bat meets ball, too. That would be neat-o.

 

Lester throws over! Twice!

First one is fine, but he Knoblauchs the second one over the first baseman's head.

Interesting ...

Not really. This just makes what everybody already knew even more obvious.

 

Thank you.

 

Ian Desmond, six errors in eight games, the latest being the starting point of Boston's three-run rally (on no hits) to win Tuesday.

“He knows that fielding slumps, like hitting slumps, come and go,” Rizzo said. “He has the track record that proves he’s one of the elite shortstops in the game."

BWAHAHAHAHAH!
