    This probably won't help you. The game is apparently available on the FOX Sports Go app, but you apparently need authentication from a television provider. Any word on which channel might be carrying the Jays-Rangers while the Royals-Astros game is still going on? EDIT: The Jays-Rangers are on MLB Network. FS1 will pick up the game when the Royals-Astros game ends.

    Why do you need a new hard drive? That seems like an unnecessary expense. I suppose that getting your data back in place could involve extra effort either way, though. Like logan82 says, the privacy issues in Windows 10 bug me. If you don't catch the options right away during setup, you have to travel all over the OS to check them. And Microsoft's 45-page privacy explanation makes for complicated reading.

    Plush, expansion fees definitely play a part. Many feel that one of the reasons for the 1990s expansions was that expansion fees would generate money to pay for the collusion mess. There've been other reasons, though. In 1961–1962, baseball was trying to fend off the Continental League. One of the main reasons for the formation of the Continental League was to put a team in New York; after the formation of the Mets in 1962, there was no longer that need. The American League also felt a need to put a new team in Washington after the Senators moved to Minnesota. In 1969 and 1977, there was political and legal pressure to replace teams that moved (Kansas City in 1969 and Seattle in 1977). I believe initial plans for the 1977 expansion called for four teams, with one of the teams probably being in Washington. But the two leagues fought over Toronto, and when the AL won that battle, the NL decided not to expand.

    With the first expansion (1961), there was about three months between the time the teams were created and the time they took the field in spring training. I believe the last expansion occurred about three years before teams actually took the field. That gave them time to build stadiums, participate in drafts, and gradually build a farm system. I think that RoCoBrewfan is right on when he says that cities have to be "primed for success." I don't see that in any city right now, although I do think that making some changes (revenue sharing) and coming up with a good plan for mitigating unique issues (Mexico City) could prime some locations for success.

    Belle hit Viña with his forearm between first and second, so it's a completely different play. However, the clean/dirty unintentional/intentional aspect is similar. Also, Belle's role in a brawl later in the game contributed to length of the suspension.

    I'd be hard pressed to call that a slide when there was no sliding actually involved. That's the whole thing. There wasn't a slide. But given the lack of a better word, I guess we have to call it a slide. I think the pirouette is irrelevant as far as the runner is concerned. The fielder might be more susceptible to injury in that position, but that doesn't excuse the so-called slide.
  11. 1992casey
    I think the bigger issue is the the umpires reviewing and then reversing a call that isn't even reviewable. I think that's the bottom line on the call. The replay umps should have said "We can't review this" and let the call on the field stand.

    Because the Utley slide that broke Tejada's leg was being discussed both here and in Random MLB news, I've move all of the posts to this topic: Chase Utley slide breaks Rubén Tejada’s leg: confounding call on review, dirty play?
  13. 1992casey
    Since this topic was being discussed in two threads and it would seem to have implications beyond a single game, I've moved all the posts into this thread. Like WV Brew, I'll take Utley at his word, but at the very least, the play was reckless.

    Another article… Dramatic turn of events: LA gets even after hard slide
  15. 1992casey
    Although this article is biased, it has the best explanation I've seen so far: Chase Utley dirty slide on Ruben Tejada ends with Mets shortstop carted off field with broken leg in 5-2 loss to Dodgers
  16. 1992casey
    Yeah, that's the part that's confusing me. According to the bits and pieces I'm picking up, it has something to do with taking away the neighborhood play. Joe concentrated on Utley's late slide, which is a separate issue. That's certainly something to review, and because it could involve disciplinary action, it was appropriate to be vague about it at this point.
  17. 1992casey
    Fractured right fibula for Tejada on the collision.
  18. 1992casey
    They just gave the official explanation from MLB, but I can't re-explain it. But given that there's been an explanation, we know that the clarification will be repeated and that it will become available in print.

    Here's a great feature on Zack Greinke: The mastery and mystery of Zack Greinke So much is covered that it's hard pick things to highlight. I get a kick out of this little ditty from a Dodgers team meeting… And this spring, Zack, Doug Melvin, and their wives had dinner together.

    owbc, Sea Dogs are based in Portland, Maine, and play in the Eastern League. I can't see city sharing working out. Several American Basketball Association teams did it years ago, and the Kansas City-Omaha Kings of the NBA did it for a couple of years. In these cases, teams were bouncing from one crummy facility to another. The most recent example, of course, would have been the Packers bouncing between Green Bay and Milwaukee. The Packers had to travel two hours and stay in a hotel. But the bigger issue was facilities. Neither Green Bay or Milwaukee had a football stadium that meets today's standards. I guess we could count the Expos playing in both Montreal and San Juan. But both stadiums were crummy, and the situation was basically a workaround.

    Information on the Internet appears to be dated, but I think this stadium may have been converted to a soccer-only facility around 2009. I like the idea of a New Jersey team, but I see hurdles. The Yankees, Mets and Phillies would have to be indemnified for loss of territory. Sending money to the Yankees seems kind of ironic.

    This happened a couple of days ago, but I didn't trip over the article until now. Matt Harvey missed a mandatory workout a couple of days ago and will be fined. That's definitely a lapse, but it's also a big "so what" in the grand scheme of things. What I find amusing is that Gary Sheffield criticized him for potentially alienating his teammates. I suppose that if anyone knows about alienating teammates, it'd be Sheffield.

    What are your thoughts on the Cardinals' hair?
