MLB.TV's current web player is such trash. If I try to full screen it, it just moves the picture into the corner of the screen instead of actually stretching it to fit the whole screen, and if I mute it, it keeps playing sound.

This is basic stuff guys.

Already done all of that.. Even had the PC formatted.

I've been having this sort of issues since they changed to this current player last season.

It's not every time, though.. It's really weird.

Now show me a graph comparing him to actual, you know, hitters.

Dude can't even smell the Mendoza line where he's sitting. Phenomenal hitter for a pitcher, terrible as regular line up batter.

That article pretty much stated that he was "just as effective"* as Josh Hamilton last year! Good enough for me! ;)

MLB approves use of two wearable tech devices:

http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/15140473/mlb-approves-wearable-technology-two-devices-season

The sport's playing rules committee approved two devices for use during games this season, two people familiar with the decision told The Associated Press. The Motus Baseball Sleeve measures stress on elbows and the Zephyr Bioharness monitors heart and breathing rates.

In addition, the committee approved a pair of bat sensors for use on field during workouts, one from Blast Motion and the other from Diamond Kinetics.

The technology provides the potential for earlier detection of habits that could lead to injuries. However, the union is concerned about player privacy and how teams use the information. Both sides say further discussions are likely in bargaining this year.

People spoke about the decision on condition of anonymity because no announcements were authorized by MLB or the players' association. New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson, chairman of the playing rules committee, declined comment.

The sleeve had been given provisional approval by the committee last year, but these are the first full consents for use of wearable technology. The committee includes Atlanta's John Schuerholz, Cleveland's Chris Antonetti, St. Louis' John Mozeliak, Minnesota's Terry Ryan and others.

Data from the devices cannot be transmitted during games but must be downloaded afterward. The iPads MLB approved for use by teams do not have Bluetooth wireless technology and no other electronic equipment is allowed in dugouts during games.

Clubs may use the data only for internal purposes, and it will be shared with the player. It cannot be provided to broadcasters or used for commercial purposes.

"Heart rate variability is an indicator of stress and can be used in developing post game recovery routines for high intensity players such as the starting pitcher rotations and catchers," said Steven Small, director of Zephyr performance systems.

The Major League Baseball Players Association, concerned about its member's rights, negotiated rules covering use of the technology. Veteran players could be reluctant to experiment with in-game use.

"The next thing you know, the pitcher's going to have a phone in his pocket taking selfies," New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner said.

Mets medical director Dr. David Altchek, an adviser to Motus, hopes the device can be used to help pitchers avoid Tommy John surgery and rehabilitate from the career-interrupting operation by monitoring valgus torque -- stress on the elbow.

"Zack Wheeler, it's very hard to keep him below 85 percent now," Altchek said last month of the Mets pitcher who had Tommy John surgery last year. "Even though it's his first couple days off the mound, he just wants to bring it, and we don't want him to bring it. If we had an absolute measure of him, we could say ... dial it down."

Article said:
The point isn’t that Madison Bumgarner is as good a hitter as Josh Hamilton is. He isn’t, and you can see that in the strikeouts and the walks. You can also understand that with common sense. The point is that Madison Bumgarner has been as good a hitter as Josh Hamilton, since the start of last season. Or at least as productive, if you want to play semantics. There are similarities in their approaches, too. Of course the samples are different. Hamilton’s batted more than 500 times. Bumgarner’s around a quarter of that. That’s not very much, but it has been enough for Bumgarner to distinguish himself.

Cherry picking a small window of time, namely 2015 Josh Hamilton, just proves how badly Hamilton has fallen off in talent. Drugs and booze, man. They might as well have gone with Ryan Howard. Even so, not even the author is saying Bum can hit as well as Hamilton.

At the end of the day, Bumgarner is an anomaly in that he actually can, on rare occasion, hit. His numbers are trash compared to most hitters, especially accounting for sample size. As far as other pitchers do at the plate...absolutely disgusting.

Betances fielded a grounder from Correa, and lollipopped it right over the first baseman. I'll grant that Correa was running inside the baseline and may have interfered with the throw. But it was a bad bad toss.

So Betances is the new Lester. I'm going to need a replay of that later.

Correa looked safe at 2nd.

The runner has to stay in the between the lines when running down to first. He was 8 feet inside the path. It's baseball 101. An absolute blown call by the umps.

Oh come the fuck on.

He was very, very clearly out of the basepaths.

He was running on the inside of the line, on the grass. So yeah, out of the basepaths. But it's not like he was running 3 or 8 feet inside it. He was running on the edge of the grass, inside the line. Still should have probably been called out, but it certainly wasn't egregiously so.

Not at all. Best pitching performance I've witnessed in a World Series. I'll suffer MadBun flashbacks for a long time.

I just think people pointing to Bumgarner as proof that pitchers can hit misses the point. The absolute best at it...sucks.
