Hunter doubling down, saying he 'heard something' from the far end of the dugout. I'm tellin' ya, it's the linguine.
Aaron Boone Ejected Because of Fan
Same here.. Hope you are able to get out and play now.
No more travel baseball this summer... I should be good. I have it on my calendar (5/1) to post in our regional thread and try to pin down date, players, etc. Then I will make us some Turning Stone tee times.
Works for me. Looking forward to it.
Haha I came in here to post this

is it any different than a player that flops in fill in the blank sport? Or the hot wired NBA player getting T'd up more than anybody else?
Its all perception.
Saw the game live, and it was a ridiculous move on the part of the ump. Worse when he shouted, "I don't care who said it!" Because, due to the conviction in his voice, I believed him.
And there you had it, the quiet part said out loud when an MLB umpire announced for all to hear that he didn't care whether his call was right or wrong.

Its possible. But its also possible he gets a tech for having done nothing, just based on past history.
The easy solution for Boone is stop getting ejected so much that the assumption is there.
Im not standing up for the ump, but being a MLB ump right now is the equal to doing social media for an airline. You literally just deal in **** every single day for being terrible, despite every single one of them saying you suck, couldnt do it better.
That's fair... my gripe w/ umps in MLB is that there is a better way and they choose not to use it. Also... I do agree w/ the idea I referenced in the MLB thread that if they are going to continue to allow human error behind the plate then make sure their best young umps are calling balls/strikes. It's just a fact of life that 30 year old eyes are much better than 50+ year old ones... especially w/ that velocity.
I also heard an idea recently that the home ump should have a pitch comm to be prepared for which pitch is coming. I believe that would indeed help.

You can literally say that about every single thing in this world.
It has always been subjective. Now they draw a pretend box of what it is supposed to be and we all know?
I understand the computer auto system. It is used in the minors and works pretty well. Its not fool proof though.
Can you imagine the outrage if it goes down?
I am really interested in the AAA experimentation of the robot ump. They are testing 2 different versions
First is that it calls all the pitches and the ump relays the calls on the field.
The second is the one I would like to see, the ump calls the game and then the managers can challenge. Much like tennis the replay is quick and you leave some of the human element in the game. You would get a certain number of challenges so you have to use them well.

Of course it is, but its literally been subjective since the beginning of the game.

Makes the game better how?
Easier for hitters?

I guess my question is it literally never has been, so does it make it better? it might. There is no doubt it benefits hitters though.
Maybe they are just deferring the strikes till later for the dodgers
