did you read that article on the right about st louis tv coverage?

this from it:

The Post-Dispatch says that the reason some fans are suspicious is because the introduction of Mark McGwire on opening day wasn’t shown either and some think they didn’t want to televise any booing. (Mee also dismisses that notion as off-base.)

eh

I’m annoyed the production values dropped like a stone. see spants’ well-documented complaint about color contrasts.

the centerfield camera that I love so much is atrocious.

the time-delay of a live game is not quick enough to correct any on-the-spot directing choices. as I’ve said before, it’s notoriously hard to figure the Chevy traffic jam. something like Pujols running is a split-second decision, and it’s not a standard shot sequence out of six or more cameras to choose from. esp. on a ball which may or may not have gone out — you follow the ball. CDGAF about conspiracy. the work of the field crew is starting to grate, though.

and it's outright making me dizzy at times

cameras are moving which should not be moving. cameras which should be following are not following properly. it’s like a frickin’ Batman villain scene.

history help

Reds’ announcers claimed there was a lot of friction (amongst the other players) last year about how much time Colby (the rookie) was getting to play. And that is part of why Colby slumped and had stomach problems.
In short, my question is, who was bitching? I don’t remember this phenomenon.

Striking out swinging or being called out on strikes are both ways of striking out.

by mojowo11 on May 1, 2010 3:22 PM EDT up reply actions  

ok

when I was talking about there not being a difference, I was talking about as far as results. There is no difference between striking out with a runner on third and less than two outs than being called out of strikes. There runner is still not given a chance to score.

But I do see what you are saying. Colby should have swung at the pitch instead of Beltraning it.

I like this walking business.

In football, the object is for the quarterback, otherwise known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his recievers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.

In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! "I hope I'll be safe at home!"

If it's based on how well he performs

We won’t know for a while.

In football, the object is for the quarterback, otherwise known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his recievers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.

no.

We traded Lugo away for a PTBNL. We gave Boston duncan for him last year. I don’t know what the deadline is but the longer we can wait the better. Because we get a larger sample size of the players in the pool, and if we have an injury we may be able to fill a need.

Cash may well be something worth taking.

I can’t imagine Baltimore putting anyone of actual value on the PTBNL list, and anything to ease the burden of the contracts we’ll have on the books is okay in my books.

Of course, if there is a need that can be filled, do it, but…I don’t want to see them take a useless spare part just to take something, either.

two be fair

he did get hit pretty hard that last inning before getting two ks against the bottom of the order.

by Evilfrog on May 1, 2010 4:30 PM EDT up reply actions  

because he did finish with 2 Ks

I would have sent him back out with a short leash. Still in the 80s in the pitch count. I would have left him there until a runner got into scoring position.Iit wasn’t one of those moves that I am going to really complain about because I can understand both arguments for leaving him in or taking him out.
