SUNDAY NIGHT BASEBALL: vs. Yankees, 9/14

Ah fair enough. You're talking about all the things that NFL refs have to look for versus a MLB ump.

Yes. Not the relative effect of each call. Far more critical that an MLB ump get any individual call correct most of the time.

Right, agreed in that case.

Kuroda has a reasonably high pitch count now. O's could knock him out in the seventh. O's have pretty much all their bullpen weapons available. Let's play.

I feel OK about 1-1.

Better than 1-0 and Kuroda cruising.

[Palmoripken]

Sit Tex.

I'm just always impressed at the rate of correct calls on close plays at first. You'd think NFL refs might be better with things like goal line TDs or catches out of bounds when they are right next to the players but they aren't even close to the rate of right calls

[Palmoripken]

Miller up

Forced to watch game on ESPN app: I like the extra graphics and on screen stats we don't typically see on MASN, but boy, the booth... Miss you, Gary.

Good point. Speaking of NFL refs tho, do they have ref schools like ump schools?

[WEAVERMAN]

Don't let Young hurt us.

Schilling talking up EdRod.

[Witchy_Chick]

Lefty Joe Saunders gets no respect from ESPN.

Miss Gary and Palmer but glad to be a good enough team to play in prime time.

Tillman pitching scared to Chris Young.
