Looks like they are going to try to get some spontaneous crowd noise into the game.
Opening Day is almost here, and Major League Baseball is going to look a lot different MLB is launching a new feature called Cheer at the Ballpark that allows fans to participate virtually from the comfort of their own homes, the league told CNN. All they need is a phone or computer with a web browser to participate through its website, Gameday app or through a social media link, according to a report by ESPN. Fans will be presented with three reaction icons that can be used to indicate cheering, booing or clapping. The cheering feature will pop up along with the Gameday score graphic, according to ESPN. The feature will be limited at first, with only a few "cheerable" games available each day. MLB says that it will be available for more games as the season progresses. |

Well hello, Kim.
That was a sterling performance. One bad pitch (strike 3, out 27 was a hung slider) and everything else was nails. Saw the full repertoire - fastball in and out ranging from 90 to 94 and almost always on the black. Elevated it once for strike 3 (got it good and above the hands) and otherwise was just drilling the bottom of the zone with it; probably threw 6 or 7 of them that were half in/half out of the zone at the bottom. Big slow curveball that he looked to range from 68 to 80, slider that was in the 84 mph range and I'd just as soon see him stop throwing if he's in relief. That was a damn impressive outing. |

I have no illusions about this team, but damn it was fun just to watch baseball. Reminds me of the 70’s and 90’s.

It’s 16 of the 30 teams that make it each year and the last time someone under .500 made it was 14/15 season when the east was really shitty.
I wonder if more playoff teams makes it more interesting in a short season or just further increases randomness of it. |

Didnt Mariano Rivera's cutter top out around that and that's pretty much all he threw for the last 7 years of his career. Last edited by jd1020; 07-23-2020 at 11:19 AM.. |

I get this, like DJ explained earlier, a week off the roster and we keep a year of control. This is a no-brainer. It’s just business. Hope he doesn't hold a grudge.
——————————————————————- Dean and Carlson performed well throughout “Summer Camp,” but Dean had the edge of being on the 40-man roster. As a result the Cardinals can avoid losing a year of control by keeping Carlson off the roster for as little as a week in this shortened 60-game season. Carlson was assigned to the alternate-site camp in Springfield, Mo., where he was Class AA Texas League’s player of the year in 2019. “Honestly, I’m disappointed,” Carlson said. “I know this is a business and it’s a decision that was out of my control. I love everyone in that clubhouse and want to see them succeed. I am confident my time will come and in the meantime, I’ll be down in Springfield doing everything in my power to stay ready.” |

You would have to be dumb to not sit the kid for a week to gain a year of control, even he knows this.
If in a week he isn't called up then there is an issue to be pissed about. |
