"Pedro probably one the best 15-20 RHP of all times" Lol what? How about one the best 3? Late 90s Pedro is the best to ever do it Those numbers in that era. My god it was some of the most fun i ever had watching baseball. incomperable.

OK. I got the con. I can firmly state that watching sports was easier 40, 30, 20, 10, even 5 years ago. They got us by the balls now.
Great start !

The branding between Apple TV and Apple TV+ is confusing, but Apple TV+ is a streaming service from Apple. Apple TV is a device that functions similar to a Roku/Firestick/Chromecast/etc, and is compatible with any TV with an HDMI port. You don't need the Apple TV to watch Apple TV+, just download the Apple TV+ app and sign up for an account. I don't have a Roku, but a google search said you can download Apple TV+. FWIW Apple TV+ has some quality content and is about $7 a month with regular free trial opportunities if you just want to watch the odd Sox game. A new Apple TV is about $150, but it's easy to find cheap ones pre-owned online, and if you have a MacBook/iPod/iPhone/Apple Music it's worth it imo. Totally get if people don't want to pay for new equipment or streaming services, or waste time figuring out how to do it. Personally I prefer the camera and sound on Apple TV+ to the NESN broadcast, ignoring the announcers on each side. interesting, is Apple TV app not carried on Fire Stick ? I don't see it. nvm....i found it.

i am either slipping or my interest in the squad is underwhelming because i didnt even know we were playing the MFY's.
That has never happened before. Wonder if Henry et al. would consider that important customer feedback.
On apple TV, i think i can have a free trial, not sure i am going to go with it.

2 comments about this: 1. The challenge system would be incredibly clunky and would kill the flow of regular gameplay. Can you imagine if a 2-0 pitch is called a strike when everyone can see it’s a ball? Would they just challenge that pitch right there? How about the inverse: would the pitcher call for a challenge on a ball that he knows is a strike. This could be a real mess in a world where you don’t lose challenges when you are correct. Teams would just keep challenging every wrong call for the whole game. 2. I see your point about the electronic zone having limitations. But this would only be for high/low calls. The plate would always be accurate as a fixed point. So, the real calibration concerns would be high and low and not inside/outside. I still feel like anything with computers would be much better. Maybe not 100% accurate, but much better than the alternative. And even if one guy's zone is set a hair too short or a hair too tall, they would always be able to trust that it would be consistent for the whole game. I just don't think it should be that hard to calibrate a digital strike zone. They have official stats on the height of each player, so make a formula. If that data isn't trustworthy, machine learning should also be able to reliably determine features like a knee, a belt, letters, etc., and based on those locations you should be able to formulaically set a zone. And if we can't always set a reasonable zone based on that information, that means it is a rules issue, not a tech issue... Besides all that, the plate isn't moving and all cameras would be fixed. It's hardly different than in tennis where this was solved ages ago. Edits: Preempted the "inb4 teams lie about guys' heights" great idea. AI development that calls all close pitches balls against the MFY's to even out all the BS calls they have gotten over the last 100 years. you know any good hackers ??

I’m gunna tell you all… I’m pretty mad at (most of) the lot of you. Some of you a) continue to deny Casas his rightful ROY b) discussed who you’d rather have drafted. Treason. look at the bright side, we (or should i say, some of you) aren't debating sending him down anymore. ha.
