here's the thing about replay. There may be situations that a fielder/runner makes a decision based on the immediate call the ump made. But if that call is overturned, the players would have made a different decision. The umps can't go back and speculate what would have happened if the fielder had decided to throw to a different base etc

Seems like some weird/flawed scenarios could come out of overturned calls.

Heres the thing about replay, it sucks for all sports. I have no idea how mlb thought that it made the nfl better and decided to use it

Prior to the institution of replay, I would have solidly disagreed with you. But seeing all the scenarios that play out with it has pushed me more towards the middle where I'm kinda undecided on it

But I will say this: Armando Galaraga losing his perfect game to a bad call is probably a greater single injustice than any of the negative scenarios that have come up as a result of replay.

personally, i can live with human error, but i admit i don't care about personal accomplishments in sports including no hitters, perfect games, mvp, cy young etc

i honestly don't care if Mookie wins mvp or not, WS or bust

Sale back on DL

I kinda get the feeling that he would be pitching more if the division lead was only 3 games. The Yankees sucking might end up costing Sale the Cy Young if he doesn't play much for the rest of the year

That's what many are saying
And based on his responses from last DL stint, seems he was available if they NEEDED him

Not worried

So the a's and the astros are tied in the AL west? Imagine if oakland somehow pulls it off and wins that division, would it be Yankees vs astros WC game? That would be so fucking great LOL
