I'm not into that for a bunch of reasons. Probably not the best thread to delve into why.

I do wonder why we need the video display, though. That just seems odd.

I'm willing to give it time to get a little better and more smooth too.

After seeing it in spring training, the video makes it fun for the crowd. In person you don't have the TV feed so you don't know if it was a ball/strike or how much it missed by. 

Listen to the crowd reaction when the Mets won a challenge:

Probably for the fans as MLB umpires refuse to explain calls.

324 RBI pace for Mr. Ortiz

Your math is correct but I can’t imagine a world where he has > 300 😁

Always nice to give a sold out crowd a good show

[bjkrautk]

Sal Frelick is on a pace for 162 Home Runs.

Love that we have an off day after a game like this, get to enjoy it.

Excellent start by Miz, pouring on runs, 8/9 have reached base.  Baseball is back!

The Spring of Sal!

Joey bats 1.000 and Miz gets 300 strikeouts.

Would be nice to lead wire to wire this year. 

Somehow I don't think that will happen...but it would be nice.

Our old pal Joey Wiemer went deep in the 2nd inning!  Washington might be in trouble if he's their opening day 5 hole hitter though.

Except for when they play scrubs like the Cubs

There goes Joey's perfect season, but he squared it up again.

Maybe he is just saving the hits for RBI chances?

For sure. There's definitely a theatrical element to it. That's why tennis did it too. Hawkeye knew the call instantly, but the electro-video display added a showmanship element. 

To each their own. I'm just not super into jazzing up sporting events with computer animated graphics when we know the result, but I completely concede that there are advantages and that some people dig it.

That Ashby Uncle Charly was sweet.

[markedman5]

Ashby brought the good stuff in the 6th

[RobertCrawley]

All Star Brice Turang.

[markedman5]

Everybody contributing……….yeah lots more fun than last year

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Absolutely knew Rock was going to talk about Yeli cutting bags, lol. 

He ain't wrong, though!

[RobertCrawley]

Gonna lose this one.

[igor67]

Looks like we get to see Lockridge at first in this one
