Unknøwn 13,554 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 MLB is discussing giving the chief umpire a mic. He would then do what the NFL does and explain the replay decisions. One scenario being discussed is starting it at the All Star game this year. It would then be used in the second half to work out any bugs with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't necessarily agree with this part of the punishment. If he served his suspension throughout the regular season then he should be eligible. Or is there something I've missed?

Under the current CBA if a player is suspended for PED's at any point during the season he's ineligible for the postseason, regardless of if his suspension is over or not.

maorifalcon 818 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I lol'd when I saw that. Prick hit a walk off against us while on the Juice. I'd like to see them forfeit a game when he gets an RBI or Run, or atleast remove the RBI/runs he got and go on an aggregate score. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He tested positive in ST, they were going through the appeals process when they played the Braves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unknøwn 13,554 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Mookie Betts is having an unreal stretch of not striking out. Betts hasn't struck out since September 12th. He's seen 498 pitches since that day in September and has swung and missed 20 times. He's only chased a bad pitch 56 times in that span. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Theres some speculation with Golden State and the Raiders leaving Oakland the A's will attempt to acquire all the land and demolish the current venues to build a baseball stadium. Gives them a couple of years to raise funds. One rumor is they'll play in San Francisco while it's being built. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't know that back in the 80s the Giants threaten to move to Tampa and the A's actually surrendered the San Jose TV market to them and then when they needed the favor to be returned the Giants refused it.
