I don't think they will get in, at least not through the regular process which is fine by me. Let them sweat.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Looking at the list of 1st year eligible players for next year I don't see anyone that is a 1st ballot hall of famer so there is a chance that Schilling gets to go in alone

Oh, that's going to be great.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

The fact that Schilling isn’t in is ridiculous and why these sports writers are a joke.

they should put that on the fan ballot this year. my 5000 votes go to Bob Melvin. and if I weren't so biased to Melvin, I'd go for Rocco.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Computerized cameras to call balls and strikes will be used during Spring Training this year.

All hail our new robot overlords.

So it sends a command to the umpire who then calls it out...I can't wait to see when an umpire calls it out like they normally would, only to get the other call in their ear and have to immediately correct it.

I still don't know how I feel about it, honestly. As much as I like the human element in the calling of the game, umps like Angel Hernandez constantly demonstrate the need for this. Maybe it's just a natural evolution of the game through technology.

It'll be weird once it gets implemented in regular season (whenever that happens) and I'd have to start using the "Perfect" strike zone in The Show to emulate it. Those personalized zones can affect the game so much.
