Lost in this is apparently if you hit anything that's hanging down from the roof in Tampa it's a homerun? What kind of rule is that?

:eng101: There are four rings. If you hit them in foul territory, it's foul. If you hit A or B in fair territory, it's a fair ball and you play it where it comes down. If a ball gets stuck, it's a ground rule double.

If you hit C or D in fair territory, it's a home run.

Is Rocco Baldelli the Rays 1st base coach?

Yeah, the owner says he has a job for life wherever he wants to be in the organization.

Didn't Rocco Baldelli turn into a huge douche recently? I might be confusing him with Aubrey Huff

Aubrey Huff is a major rear end in a top hat. Rocco hasn't done anything douchey that I know of. Everyone's always said he's a great guy.

I'm a fan of most times guys try to bunt for hits (like, as long as it isn't the only way they could conceivably get on base), sacrifices other than squeeze plays are bad though.

Eh...change that to sacrifices other than the suicide squeeze, safety squeezes suck too.

They were talking about this on some MLBN broadcast this week. Everyone laughed when Otis Nixon tried to bunt for a hit for the last out of the 1992 World Series but they explained that thanks to his speed Nixon's bunts had a 48% success rate compared to a .348 OBP - why wouldn't he take the a coinflip chance of getting on base to keep his team alive?

Way better than I thought it would be, but I still want to see him go up against guys who can control their fastballs.

I wish him success like with any baseball player. It'll be interesting to see what happens to that OBP.

Does anyone know where to find the MLB anime/manga pictures that everyone here used for avatars and stuff like 6-7 years ago?

Was it the old MLB comics on that Korean news site? The one where Billy Beane was a bean pod wearing a polo shirt?

The best part of The Show commentary was if you hit 9 batters in a row, Matt Vasgersian would give up and slam the door to the booth.
