Well Fried no-hit the Dodgers through 5 innings last night so I’d say he figured out whatever was ailing his first couple starts. Atlanta will be fine.

I don't know who it was who recommended the MLB.tv audio subscription but it's been working out great for me. I'm in Ireland, so there's usually games on when I'm going to bed. It's great to lie down with a game on in the background I drift off to.

Who was talking about weird MLB.tv blackout behavior recently? I just experienced it myself. Sitting at home in San Diego I had the Dodgers game streaming without issue. Now I’m waiting in a parking lot barely half a mile from home, and the ap says the game is blacked out.

It really is amazing how MLB’s streaming service develops new and different ways to break each year.

This is absolutely what happened in my mind. No way that they won’t try that first if it’s taken so long to even agree to the vaccine in the first place. What’s the punishment if they’re caught with fake vaccine cards/records?

Apologies if this got posted already, I may have missed it.

Monmouth University law class tries to save Armando Galarraga's (almost) perfect game

quote:

Citing both non-baseball case law and examples from Major League Baseball’s past, the students’ document argues that Manfred should exercise his authority to right a blatant wrong.

In baseball terms:

The notion that an umpire’s ruling is final has been dispensed with in the past. In 1983, baseball’s commissioner reversed an umpire’s ruling that Kansas City Royals third baseman George Brett was out because he used too much pine tar on his bat when he hit a home run against the New York Yankees.

Major League Baseball has changed the status of a historical achievement long after the fact. In 1991, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Harvey Haddix was removed from the sport’s no-hitter list 32 years after he threw what was classified at the time as a no-hitter. (He had thrown 12 perfect innings, but lost the perfect game on an error and a hit in the 13th inning.)

The institution of instant replay, which occurred in part because of the Galarraga incident, acknowledges that umpires make mistakes that sometimes require correction.

The circumstances surrounding Galarraga’s game are unique enough, including indisputable visual evidence and public agreement by all three parties (pitcher, baserunner, umpire) that the call was wrong, that reversing Joyce’s call won’t open a “can of worms” or create “slippery slope” of future call reversals.

Sound not necessary, but there is a certain charm to the unpaid college kid announcing.

ESPN has a slightly longer version of the video and while you can't see the whole home run trot well, it didn't look like he was showboating or doing any other things that uptight baseball people take too seriously.

The pitcher is said not to have any previous incidents.

If a dude gets taken out while rounding the bases on a HR and needs to get subbed, does the sub need to finish the HR trot and cross the plate to count?
