Why is the "Baseball Writers' Association of America" the sole arbiter of who gets in?

Pure trust in technology isn't warranted either, when technology can be manipulated or just break down. Technology has also fractured basic human interaction with each other in recent times you may have noticed or read about. I'm cautionary but not adamant to improvements that technology can...

Technology over humanity...maybe, maybe not so fast, IMO.

Maybe it's ben written somewhere, but does the umpire call out what ABS indicates? He gets that info and then says it like he was making the call or what?

I guess all those rumors the past two years that Trea wanted to go back East were true. The worst kind of rumors--true rumors, lol! Trea, I enjoyed watching you play for the Dodgers the past two years.

But those things were not the result of a cheating scandal and I'm very sure that you wish this whole thing had never happened as well, but it did and nothing you said as a fan is any kind of commiseration for the fans of the team that your team affected. I wrote this two years ago:

From the perspective of a Dodgers fan, the 2017 run and then the World Series through the loss in Game 7 was a real heartbreaker and "of course it was" for Dodgers fans and something all teams fans have gone through before. But then to find out after processing that loss and getting over it that...

I agree with a poll done of Dodger fans 4 days ago who would rather keep Trea Turner than sign Aaron Judge, approximately 60% - 40%. To me Judge does just not seem the right fit for the Dodgers.

Two very debatable points.

Another instance where the Dodgers were affected by cheating opponents. https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2020/02/13/giants-cheating-home-run-1951/

Los Angeles Times sports columnist Bill Plaschke was honestly brutal in his opinions today. The first lines: They have flopped before, countless wonderful summers cruelly melted into autumn ashes. But they’ve never blown it like this. They have been embarrassed before, many memorable summer...

It is a bitter pill after a 111 win season. Especially because: The Dodgers won all six series vs. the Padres in the regular season. Tonight marks the first time that a team lost a playoff series to a divisional opponent after not losing one series to them in the regular season. According to...

Yeah, the Braves should've stopped winning at 88 games like they did last year. :wacko: It makes me wonder how many of the World Series before the divisional eras began would've been won by different teams.

Is this legal? The Padres organization is trying to prevent Dodgers fans from buying tickets to any NLDS game at Petco Park. Padres Postseason ticket sales is limited to Verified Fans. Padres Insiders and the public will be limited to the following counties and areas: San Diego County, Baja...

0-0 at the 14th inning stretch!!! The Rays would have won this game already if the runner on 2nd rule was in place. It's my opinion if you're going to have any rule all season long, you shouldn't be changing it in the post season. _______ ETA: Gonzalez walks it off in the 15th. Guardians win 1-0.

As for the Padres-Mets... When I went grocery shopping yesterday I wore my Dodgers hat and in one of the aisles a man passing by me suddenly turned and said, "We might be playing each other soon. Our teams. I'm a Mets fan." The guy had what one would call a typical New York accent and the...

Watching the Rays-Guardians game. 0-0 at the 7th inning stretch. Was interested to see how Tyler Glasnow would pitch in only his 3rd start after returning from Tommy John surgery. Really good, I thought. What a time to return! I think the the Ohio team should've been named Cleveland Rocks...

I meant to say "...gave him RBI #100 to tie Trea Turner." I meant to write strikeouts. In my defense, when I first wrote that post instead of hitting "post reply," I quit the browser and had to rewrite it. Anyway...the MLB season is over and everyone is now...silent. ? 😶

I went to the final Dodgers game of the season and saw them win their franchise record setting 111th win of the season! The Rockies got a home run early on and since the Dodgers lost the last three games scoring only 4 runs total. there was uneasiness in the air. But a couple innings later...

The Padres have been wearing theirs since July. It seems some have just noticed this? They wear them every Friday night game. I've read the Padre fans really like them and the team has won a lot when wearing them. (Dodgers seem to lose when wearing theirs.) I kind of like them. They're very...

Where to watch Mets/Braves games this weekend: --Friday’s game will be a local broadcast on SNY in the New York market and on Bally Sports Southeast in Atlanta. --Saturday and Sunday will be national broadcasts on FOX and ESPN, respectively. Or on MLB.TV. --Each team’s radio affiliate (WCBS 880...

Slight correction, the Marlins game with the three balks in the same inning was Monday night. That pitcher has never balked in 7 years! https://www.mlb.com/news/marlins-richard-bleier-called-for-three-balks?partnerId=zh-20220928-713930-mlb-2-A The Marlins won sending the Mets into a tie for...

No way! He predicted exact date of Pujols' 700th Dylan Svoboda | September 23rd, 2022 https://www.mlb.com/news/pujols-700th-hr-predicted-by-greg-amsinger

Maury Wills -- In the last couple years I happened to view some things Maury WIlls did on TV in the 1960's. (He was also a coach in The Sandlot film, 1993.) --He played himself in an episode of the one-season series HANK, which was released on DVD, in an episode titled "Maury WIlls to the...

^^^ I take it they weren't playing each other? ;) The game you referenced started at 12:10, so...what would you consider a day game⁉️ The Dodgers had some sort of a will to win it in the bottom of the 8th when they scored 5 runs, I'd say. Both teams made two errors. The second game of the...

^^^ Tio Albert! Home run #695: September 4th | Cubs @ STL Home run #696: September 10th | Cardinals @ Pirates Home run #697: September 11th | Cardinals @ Pirates Home run #698: September 16th | Reds @ STL --- Pujols' next games: (today at home with CIN) 8 away (3-SD, 3-LA, 2-MIL) 3 at home...

^^^ Debbie Downer. :)

Where will Albert do it? Pujols' next games: 7 at home ( 2-MIL, 5-CIN/one day's a double-header) 8 away (3-SD, 3-LA, 2-MIL) 3 at home (3-PIT) 3 away (3-PIT) The away teams management would like it if he was still in the hunt--for more attendance at the end of the season. If he's going for 700...

I forget which of the three games it was with the Dodgers, but did you notice at one point when Mookie came up to bat a group of Dodger fans in attendance were shouting "Let's Go Betts." Heh!
