I may be alone in my preference, but I wish MLB would use the technology they have & go to 100% ABS & remove the ball & strike calls from umpires. 

I agree with you.  Would make the game more enjoyable for sure.  
 

I think the in-game delays are pretty minimal, but the technology has proven to be very good thus far.

True except best record does still get home field if they meet. 

And an easier NLDS matchup, in theory. Would love to avoid the NL East winner

Hope Vaughn has a good day and gets hot. 

Murph is doing Vaughn no favors by starting him against this righty. Unfortunately Vaughn doesn’t provide any value other than hitting lefties. I am really surprised by his lack of power.

Lara should probably be in there today.

Here’s a stat:

Since Christian Yelich returned from the IL in early May, he has had 8 total games in which he did not strike out at least once.

For perspective, Garrett Mitchell, who is not exactly known for being a low strikeout guy, has 9 such games since the beginning of June (not counting the games where he didn’t record an AB).

Us a month ago: “Murph, Vaughn should play against righties, he can hit.” 

Murph: “No, he’s a platoon guy.”

Us today: “You’re right Murph, he’s a platoon guy.”

Murph: “Oh yeah?”

Murphy basically says he doesn't trust Vaughn against righty then plays him and hits him cleanup. You just never ever can figure him out.

It's actually simple he has one of the grand kids spy on us during the game then makes some decisions just to mess with us.

This is 100 accurate😂

Those are his kids … not his grandkids

Yikes. He's going to be in a nursing home before they graduate.

Right now he's not hitting anybody. 

He definitely seems to be a guy that does better with a lot of at bats. Many times his hits come in his third and fourth at bats

My question would be how much extra time it would take for the calls to be communicated to the umpire and  players. Even if it’s just a couple of seconds it would add at least a few minutes to the length of the game. 

Note: If I raise something as a POSSIBILITY that does not mean that I EXPECT it to happen.

I said yesterday was a big game because this one was going to be tough. That and Murphy on Sunday cannot be trusted. I was right this dude is going to be a problem.

When Ortiz was batting I was really hoping he could reach so we could at least clear Yelich’s spot for next inning. 

You should never be hoping that you can just clear your leadoff hitter.
