Heard there was mass confusion at the annual Fox Sports regional meeting for team broadcasters over this 3 batter rule. Alot of questions about different situations that can come up during a game that there weren't answers to. This according to a broadcaster who was there.

I assume it doesn't apply to pinch hitting...right?

I know that I should be liking this new format, but somehow, this Jeff Goldblum gif comes to mind.

Here's more on the McGuire arrest from TMZ:

TMZ Sports has obtained the police report from McGuire's arrest ... and cops say a witness told them the Blue Jays catcher had been masturbating in his parked car before they arrived on the scene.
According to the report ... cops say after they rolled up to the parking lot, they saw McGuire with his shirt "barely covering his genitals" and his sweatpants around his ankles.
They claim in the report when they got McGuire out of his car, he "had an erection which was very apparent."
Cops say McGuire apologized to them profusely for the incident ... saying, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, this is really embarrassing." Cops say McGuire added, "I really shouldn't have been doing that."
In the report, cops claim when they got McGuire's phone to try to find his current address ... they noticed an "extremely pornographic video was playing on the screen."
Officers say they asked Reese why he came to the parking lot instead of just going home ... McGuire responded that he "did not know, it just seemed like a good place."


It just seemed like a good place.

It just seemed like a good place.

Dollar Tree has to be a good place for something.

same here. I remember him well from the 1993 World Series winning Blue Jays team. Sad to hear this news.

Sad to hear about Fernandez. RIP and thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.

RIP to Mr. Fernandez. One of best infielders in Jays history.

Damn that is sad. Tony was a class act.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Wow, so young. Loved watching him just flip the ball over to McGriff. I could see that in my mind's eye and then saw this youtube clip and just backed that memory up

If only there was a way for pitcher's to steal signs. Wouldn't have needed performance enhancing drugs.

Didn't we have a thread last season about MLB.tv? Any subscribers got the renewal price for previous customers yet? I was told by them we would have it two weeks before the renewal date, which is the end of this month.

Thanks
