Rest Of Baseball - 2014

[BigEd76]

According to renderings released today, the new Braves stadium will be oriented to the west/southwest, which means everyone at the plate will be looking into the sun for 7:00 games.  The MLB rulebook recommends playing fields be oriented to the east/northeast, and there are only a few that point southeast.  Nothing points south or west though

its the south, they still think the earth is flat

They don't even need a new stadium. Another colossal waste of money.

Cards have blown the lead

Should have been a game ending k but the umpire is a farg head

This Reds - Nats game is insane.

Top 15th

Brandon Phillips had an all out dive on a liner two innings ago to save the game.

Hamilton just laid out in CF to save it in the bottom of the 14th

Just curious if anyone here has been watching the Dodgers...because I sure as hell haven't.

I cannot see the entire article because it's behind a stupid farging paywall and I ain't paying to read the Houston chronicle

But!!!

in response to the sabr nerd convention in the Astros FO

@Nick_Mathews: Said one #Astros player: "I don't think anybody's happy. I'm not. They just take out the human element of baseball.

This direct quote ended with:

It's hard to play for a GM that just sees you as a number instead of a person. Jeff is experimenting with all of us."

The players who would say this aren't worth a shtein anyways. Castro, Altuve, Villar, Dominguez, Fowler, Springer, Feldman, Keuchel and Cosart don't get toyed with or jerked around, because they're the only ones who are major leaguers. I could guarantee it's someone like LJ Hoes or some fringe-ML bench player.

Also, reading through this, they don't use "purely statistical analysis" and getting Jed fargin Lowrie to be a primary source of information is a joke.
