We are not catching any break this game. Amazing.

Lets go hit number 2 Beltre!

Maybe they can make something out of this. Maybe Beltre will smoke a ball that isn't right at someone.

This shitty pitcher can't throw strikes...yet we can't do anything...c'mon AB!!

 

[romeo212000]

This team just can't find the will succeed right now.

This shitty pitcher can't throw strikes...yet we can't do anything...c'mon AB!!

That's exactly why we can't do anything. We bail shitty pitchers like this out constantly.

 

[darrylgann]

Not one bit of luck today.

I'm not sure how that is a problem... as I explained in the previous paragraph, players and fans at the game could actually know whether a pitch was a strike or a ball even faster than an ump could say the word ball or strike. The relay time of the information doesn't matter when information is processed on site. The delay I was talking about is what you see on your computer. The bottom line is the technology exists where the delay time could be reduced to what we would perceived to be instant- therefore the tempo of the game would not be impacted. What could impact it is if somehow the system malfunctioned and in that case they home plate ump could take over until the situation was stabilized.

I think you bring up a interesting point about the media you use to deliver the calls. There are lots of ways they could do this. They could still announce calls automatically too and use some sort of monitor system. The ump could just read the call. There are lots of possibilities.

Personally, I think its a good idea but it is not likely to happen for another 25 years or so if ever. Right now they just use cameras as detectors and the method could be refined much more. I presume if MLB was going to move to such a method the would research it a ton and throw a ton of money at it to make it as good as possible.

They might not want to even invest the cash though.

Yeah I just don't see it being an effective replacement for umps at this juncture, as I don't see a way around interrupting the accustomed tempo of the game

How can we possibly not hit at this park??? Everybody hits in this f'ing park!!!

 

[Justinkm83]

Beltre had 2 pitches to crush.

 

[Justinkm83]

LEAVE YOUR FEET RIOS


Walk Tulo

 

[darrylgann]

Man, we ain't living right

 

[romeo212000]

Because we suck.

 

[Justinkm83]

Please explain why we keep pitching to him with first base open. Then Ross falls behind 3-1 and we still pitch to him. I don't care if CarGo is behind him. I wouldn't let Tulo beat me anymore.

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

I'm fed up...good night all...

 

[TheRangerDude]

I love Beltre... its funny when he does that.

 

[Justinkm83]

I'm fed up...good night all...

I don't blame you. I'll be at that point soon I'm sure.

 

[darrylgann]

I wouldn't mind this if BOTH teams were hitting.

 

[romeo212000]

Beltre has had enough of this shit. How is this offense this fucking bad at coors? Time for someone to be held accountable for this. Total bull shit. I understand having trouble with the bottom half of the order, but there's no god damn excuse for 1-5 to be sucking this badly with choo basically on base half the time in front of them. Completely unacceptable and it's time to call magadan in on the carpet because he's obviously not getting results.

 

[Justinkm83]

Why does Choo not know where to throw the fucking ball? Get the ball in. You learn that very early on.
