I don't want it for live action, but I definitely want to see it more in replays. Give me the CF camera and then let the broadcast show me just how nasty that pitch/take/swing was, after the fact.

As penance for his gambling sins, Shohei Ohtani should have to pitch for my team specifically for the forseeable future.

I like the ump view for replays except when there's a nasty breaking ball and I have flashbacks to when I was in the box for the first time against a kid who could throw a slider and I realized that everything I knew to that point was gone forever but they hit me with the next pitch and getting on base is getting on base. Wow, this game, so many life lessons.

I learned not to play softball when my brother hit me with a ball while I was helping him practice pitching, lol. Soccer balls hurt way less.

Insane to me that we are about to start the season with Montgomery unsigned. There are several teams that could use him considering their own injury problems. Astros and Yankees alone should be in.

His agent completely hosed him and as I said before, it's going to materially damage his career.

I saw something that at this point Montgomery is intentionally waiting out the start of the season because as long as he signs after one regular season game is played, he's no longer attached to losing a draft pick from the QO. The union really dropped the ball in not fighting harder to get that poo poo eliminated in the last CBA.

If Rodon really wanted to sign he could, Boras isn't holding him hostage.

It's really only the Yankees at this point. Dana Brown has basically said he is happy with the Astros rotation.

Yeah that was my last year in ball too. I had a great glove and I could have kept playing but I understood that I would never be a hitter.

My older brothers and their little league teams "prepped" me for my first kid pitch season and they all agreed that what I really needed to do was crowd the plate. So like every idiot little brother, I did. Second pitch I got beaned in the helmet and when I talked to them after the game they defended themselves with, "hey, you got on base, right!?"

Good riddance. I’ll give him that the early years were good, he never sold the naming rights to the best park in the league, and he was about as pro-labor as an owner could be - which is still next to nothing. He ponied up to keep Chris Davis when he was absolutely mashing and, as I understand, allowed to take his adderall. Dude sounded like a real poo poo stain and he was probably worse than I realized, but it’s easy to not seem so bad when Dan Snyder is your neighbor.

Yeah I was wondering about that too--it's possible a deal with some team is pretty much done but just not going to be signed until March 28.

Which is why his new team would be able to tag him with a QO if he signs a one year deal now. But if he waits till the season starts then they could not.

The Ippei thing is even weirder now that it looks like he made up his media guide biography. He claimed he worked with Okajima and the Red Sox, but the years don’t match up, Okajima already had an interpreter, and Boston says they never heard of him.
