    I never liked Bob Costas, until what he just said on TV about the automatic walk.

      Anyway, it just goes back to last year when I asked what the harm is in halving the ticket prices there if that's all that they draw. It's just sad.

      Spring break in April? What in the world?

        Well, if you're insinuating it should be in March, there is only one full week during that span that you're actually in the spring season since it starts March 21st..

        There are some districts doing Spring Break two weeks from now.

                I'm about to throw out an improper word over how replay just screwed over Eaton.

                I think five things need to change for instant replay, none of them that completely has to do with what I was upset over:

                1) No phoning to video room from dugout, and challenge needs to be made immediately (let's say within ten seconds of play ending).

                2) Penalty to losing replay is loss of a mound visit (I used to say "no defensive conferences for three consecutive outs" because there wasn't a mound visit limitation per game, but those times have changed now).

                3) Instead of being "indisputable evidence to overturn the call," it should be exactly how umpires are trained to make calls: look for the actionable version (strike, out, foul, hit by pitch, etc.). If you can't see it, then it's a ball/safe/fair/not hit, stuff like that.

                4) If an umpire has particular reason to overrule what New York says about a call standing because of what they see or sense, including what they see on the jumbotron themselves or seeing a particular mark on the ground or on the body, then they have the right to do so. These are the umpires that want to make the case that their call is correct, so to admit defeat is not something you would normally expect to see.

                5) Managers/players shouldn't necessarily be able to argue after a decision is made, but they should be able to get complete clarification and state their case for the record without being ejected from the ball game. This includes where certain runners should be placed after a call is overturned.

                              It takes away from what actually went on during the intentional walk. That legal deliveries had to be made on a conscious level, that the fans, on-deck batter, and manager(s) got to absorb what is happening and what is to come after the situation, and that anything could happen on those given plays. Basically, missing the intricacies that made actually pitching the ball... you know... part of the sport.

                              March Madness? Puh, after seeing the first two rounds, might as well have given the higher seeds the wins automatically anyway. I mean nothing else like an upset ever happens, right?

                                Greinke just homered again.

                                You can take that DH rule and shove it up your AL.
