Re: Are There Any BASEBALL Fans On The Forum?
The series was pretty evenly matched. Glad to see Boston do it, especially after their horrible season last year.
St. Louis had great pitching, they just couldn't put the runs on the board.

Red Sox win 8th title. Boston cruised to its third World Series win in 10 seasons, clinching the title at Fenway Park for the first time since 1918.
What's next? Four long hard cold months of winter and no baseball. (five months if you don't count spring training games)
Vaya con dios muchachos. See you all in April.

MLB clubs unanimously approve expansion of instant replay
Major League umps will serve as replay officials, who will make final call; All replays may be shown in-park
PARADISE VALLEY, AZ - The 30 Clubs of Major League Baseball have unanimously approved the expansion of instant replay, which will be in effect for the 2014 Championship Season and the 2014 Postseason. The historic announcement was made this afternoon, at the conclusion of MLB's quarterly owners meetings.
Both the Major League Baseball Players Association and the World Umpires Association have given their consent to the game's new protocols for instant replay.
MLB's new system of instant replay dictates which plays are subject to review, how instant replay will be initiated by field managers and how the review process will be conducted. As a part of the expansion of instant replay, Clubs will now be allowed to show all replays on the ballpark scoreboard, regardless of whether the play was reviewed.
"I am very pleased that instant replay will expand to include additional impactful plays," Baseball Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig. "The new system will give managers valuable recourse in potentially game-changing situations. The opportunity for our fans to see more replays in our ballparks is also an important modification that the Clubs and I favored.
"I thank the Major League Players and Umpires for their cooperation with this change, which will serve our shared game well. I also extend my gratitude to John Schuerholz, Joe Torre, Tony La Russa, Peter Woodfork and Chris Marinak, all of whom worked extremely hard to make this highly complicated task a reality."
Managers will have at least one challenge to use. If any portion of a challenged play is overturned, then the manager who challenged the play will retain the ability to challenge one more play during the game. No manager may challenge more than two plays in a game. Once the manager has exhausted his ability to challenge plays during the game and after the beginning of the seventh inning, the Crew Chief may choose to invoke instant replay on any reviewable call. Home run and other boundary calls will remain reviewable under the procedures in place last season.
A designated communication location near home plate will be established at all 30 MLB ballparks. There, the Crew Chief and at least one other Major League Umpire will have access to a hard-wired headset connected to the Replay Command Center, which will remain at MLB Advanced Media headquarters in New York. Major League Umpires will be staffed as Replay Officials at the Replay Command Center. After viewing video feeds, the Replay Official will make the ultimate determination of whether to overturn the call, based on the continuing standard of whether there is clear and convincing evidence.
Instant replay will be utilized during some televised games in Spring Training for the purposes of educating on-field personnel on the rules of the new system.
Other protocols of the new system for instant replay are as follows:
PLAY TYPES
The following play types will be subject to review:
•Home run
•Ground rule double
•Fan interference
•Stadium boundary calls (e.g., fielder into stands, ball into stands triggering dead ball)
•Force play (except the fielder's touching of second base on a double play)
•Tag play (including steals and pickoffs)
•Fair/foul in outfield only
•Trap play in outfield only
•Batter hit by pitch
•Timing play (whether a runner scores before a third out)
•Touching a base (requires appeal)
•Passing runners
•Record keeping (Ball-strike count to a batter, outs, score, and substitutions)
All other plays will not be reviewable; however, the Umpires may still convene on the field at any time to discuss the play.
INITIATION OF INSTANT REPLAY
•Field managers may initiate replay review on one reviewable play per game by verbally indicating his intention to challenge, in a timely manner, to the Crew Chief. Guidelines will be established to determine whether a challenge is timely.
•The manager may request that the umpire review multiple portions of the same play, but he must specify exactly which portions of the play he is challenging.
•If any portion of a challenged play is overturned, the manager who challenged the play will retain the ability to challenge one more play during the game. No manager may challenge more than two plays in a game.
•Once the manager has exhausted his ability to challenge plays during the game and after the beginning of the seventh inning, the Crew Chief may choose to invoke instant replay on any reviewable call. In that circumstance, the Crew Chief is not obligated to invoke instant replay if requested by the manager.
•Home run calls that are currently subject to instant replay review will continue to be reviewed at the Crew Chief's discretion. Managers may request that an Umpire review a home run call, but managers cannot challenge home run calls.
REVIEW PROCESS
•Once instant replay review is invoked (either by the Manager or the Crew Chief), the Crew Chief will signal to the official scorer that the play is under review.
•The Crew Chief and at least one other umpire will then move to a designated communication location near home plate, where they will have access to a hard-wired headset connected to the Replay Command Center in New York.
•Major League Umpires will be staffed as Replay Officials at the Replay Command Center, located at MLB Advanced Media headquarters, for all Major League games.
•The Replay Command Center will have direct access to video from most cameras in the ballpark in real-time, regardless of whether they are shown on the live broadcast.
•The Replay Official will look at the video feeds and determine if there is clear and convincing evidence to overturn the call on the field. If the Replay Official overturns a call on the field, he will also use his judgment to determine where to appropriately place runners if the play had been called correctly on the field.
•The umpires on the field will not have a monitor to review the play and they will not leave the field at any time.
•The Replay Official will make the ultimate determination of whether to overturn the call.
•On-Field personnel may not argue with the decision of the Replay Official.
CLUB ACCESS TO VIDEO
•To determine whether to challenge a play, personnel in the dugout will be permitted to communicate with a video specialist in the Clubhouse who has access to the same video that is available to Replay Officials. This communication will occur via the dugout phone.
•Both the home and visiting Clubs will have standardized technology to ensure each Club has equal access to all video.
•No monitors or additional electronic equipment will be permitted in the dugout.
SCOREBOARD REPLAYS
•Clubs will now have the right to show replays of all close plays on its ballpark scoreboard, regardless of whether the play is reviewed.

Re: Are There Any BASEBALL Fans On The Forum?
It's a long read but seems to be comprehensive.
Hey, the Cubs spring training game, day after tomorrow, is going to be telecast on WGN TV.
I probably won't recognize a single player, plus there's a new manager this year who's name I had to write down in order to remember it. Rick Renteria was an infielder during his playing days, then managed in the minors before becoming a bench coach for the Padres. Another cherry like Dale Sveum.

Weather doesn't look too good for the Wednesday and Thursday games. Pittsburg weather in the Spring sucks as bad as Chicago's. At least there may not be snow.

67 degrees here in Alexandria today but the Nats are playing in Flushing. Yesterday it was sleeting and snowing here. Going to my first game Saturday night, hoping it's as nice as today.

I wouldn't be too worried if I were you Ferg. I know Spring Training isn't a good yardstick but so far the Cubs don't look too threatening.

Re: Are There Any BASEBALL Fans On The Forum?
After a 16 inning one run loss to Pittsburg last night, the Cubs finally won their first game of the season by beating the Pirates today 3-2. The Phillies come to Chicago for the Cub's home opener tomorrow. Weather forecast says no rain but they're going to freeze their ears off. Supposed to be 42º and windy at game time. Will the wind be blowing in or out? Stay tuned.
