Under the new guidelines, leading teams have to be up by 10 or more runs in the ninth inning in order to let a position player pitch while trailing teams can use a position player anytime it's down by eight or more runs. Position players are also allowed to pitch anytime in extra innings.  

Will the Ohtani asterisk become as famous as the Maris one?

Maybe they could punch a wall and break their hand?

Hit themselves in the head with a bat and concuss themselves?

Not talking about doing something ridiculous like that but be nice to see some emotion or fire on the field. See nothing but a bunch of guys who don’t seem to care right now.

Something like that would break me. Don't know how police officers or doctors do that.

It's part of the process of becoming a full human being.

I hope not, he's a true unicorn!

I don't want them to act angry.

I don't see the point.

Watching Steele be unhittable with 90 mph stuff and like 2 pitches gives me hope for Povich.

Pretty disappointing they get swept on my birthday.

Happy birthday my brother.

The MFY are next. I don't even want to think about that series.

The Yankees are making their game with the Rays... interesting, at least. 5-3 Rays and the Yanks have had 6 ups. A nailbiter to see if we're going to end up 1 game back when we face them, or 2.

Tomorrow will be a fascinating baseball game, O's vs Yanks. They may have to pull out a tee for the batters to hit off of in the 27th inning, score tied 0-0, because nobody on either team can string together a rally if their life depended on it.

Thanks allquixotic: now we don't have to wait for Firestone to put in the reverse hex--expecting a slugfest now....

Bauer is not being signed, let's put that one to bed.

But that's exactly where Trevor gets clever.

Because he can’t. Imagine this lineup with out him in it.

Wouldn’t have changed last three games.
