2021 MLB General thread

It's funny to be criticizing Cleveland's Baseball Team for having a name that's hilariously bland and inoffensive but...here we are.

Apparently 'Cleveland Baseball Team' was taken.

The MLB team will just pay them for it. No way they'll change it again.

Does anybody know if Vegas takes wagers on predicting the wealthiest roller derby franchise? I'm torn between laying a few bucks on either the Cleveland Guardians or the Lane County Concussion.

Good grief. Just scrolled through a few. Forget how egregious some of them were. The fact the umps easily tossed a few players questioning the calls is infuriating to see. Not only do they botch up the call, they can?t be questioned nor held accountable, and just toss them out.

Buck did mention it in the broadcast.  But I believe the batter flied out the next pitch and they simply moved on.

The only thing that could possibly explain it was that it was Cimber's first pitch and that deep side arm motion caught the ump by surprise.  Then again, his strike zone was really inconsistent all game.

I guess, but I'd have thought he saw the warm-up pitches.  It was a brutal call in a tight game.
 
Time to bring technology into the game. Tennis has been transformed by tracking technology where it used to be a farce (and few good arguments) by bad calls.

Baseball has so many bad calls an inning, forgetaboutit.
