New MLB Slide Rule Costs The Blue Jays A Game And They Are Pissed
Baseball’s controversial new where to buy cheap MLB jerseys was implemented for the first (update: second) time in a game tonight, and it could not have come at a more crucial juncture. Down by a run with the bases loaded and one out in the top of the ninth, Edwin Encarnacion slapped a grounder to third. Logan Forsythe tagged second to force Jose Bautista out, then boned the throw to first, allowing the go-ahead run to score for the Jays. Toronto had the lead, 4-3 with two outs and a runner on third.
But, as you can see, Bautista did some subterfuge on Forsythe, sliding on the inside edge of the bag and grabbing Forsythe’s ankle. Rays manager Kevin Cash asked for a replay review, on the grounds that Bautista’s slide violated the new double play policy. The MLB replay center ruled that Cash was correct, and they awarded the double play to Tampa Bay, ending the game and the Jays’ chances of a rally.
Having a late lead snatched away from you and losing on a technicality—no matter how legally rigorous the basis is—has got to be one of the most frustrating scenarios in sports, and where to buy cheap MLB jerseysafter the game.
“Are we trying to turn the game into a joke? I mean, really. That was flat out embarrassing. That cost us an opportunity to win a Major League game. Was that the intent? Well, that’s probably the results you’re going to get. I was talking to some guys in Spring Training, said wait until it happens when it ends a game, a Major League game. It truly is an embarrassment.”
MLB approves wearable technology for two devices this season
NEW YORK -- Wearable technology is coming to Major League Baseball.
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 to 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 postgame 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 members' 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."
Yankees need to lower prices
There is nothing more depressing, than seeing the whole row of empty seats behind home plate during the yankees games. As a long time yankee fan, i would love to see all the fans packed into the seats arm-to-arm breathing down each others necks during some great games, however a day to the bronx basically costs almost a thousand dollars for decent seats.
