I never called it a "grab."  Just a "gooch."  And yes, computer called strike zones would help immensely.  You would still need umps for all sorts of things.  Just not balls and strikes :)

I say just get rid of players, managers, umpires, and just play a computer simulation on the jumbo screen.  I cannot believe you hate baseball so much.  /smh/

Well, isn't he a Yankees fan.

That is just another strike against his baseball acumen.  :D

The Yanks still have a more recent World Series win than any team from Ohio, so...:P

Can't say much to the guy who pulls for the current champs though.  I'll just have to take you in fake baseball.  Then we'll see how much acumen I have ;)

We shall see how the luck of stat production work from week to week.

It'd work better with a couple extra Bench slots ;)

If I could I'd mandate extra slots to be required to be filled by middle/long relievers, you could then field a "real" ball team.

MetalDog

You're too young to be this set in your ways.  Live a little!  Do something CRAZY once in a while!  An extra Bench slot would work nicely :)

If it means an extra Bench slot, then, da.

You should be more concerned with Tanaka's control then getting a middle reliever bench slot for your fantasy baseball team.

FWIW, on ESPN this morning Jason Stark said Bautista's slide would have been illegal under the old rules, even though it was rarely called that way

You should be more concerned with the fact that KC's pitching is nowhere near as good as the Yankees.

I could really use another catcher and 3rd baseman.  Just saying.
