Daily part of MLB unfortunately ... New York Mets closer Bobby Parnell has a partially torn ligament in his pitching elbow and might need surgery, the team announced Tuesday. The Mets said Parnell received a platelet-rich plasma injection in his elbow Tuesday and will rest for approximately two weeks before undergoing further evaluation, when the determination will be made whether he will have surgery. Veteran right-hander Jose Valverde likely will serve as the Mets' closer with Parnell sidelined. Parnell was diagnosed Tuesday morning after complaining of tightness in his right forearm following Monday's season-opening loss to the Washington Nationals. Parnell blew a save opportunity in the 10-inning loss, squandering a one-run lead in the ninth inning. Parnell's appearance Monday was his first outing since July 30. His velocity sagged throughout spring training as he attempted to bounce back from a herniated disk.

That's a break for the Mets, financially. 3.7 mill for a closer, then arbitration eligible next year.

First rainout in Oakland since 1998. Weird. All those cold/windy nights.

Mr. Ed -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (4/2/2014 9:23:10 AM)
Nunez DFA'd by the Yanks. Twins should take a flyer on him. Ah, that's right, they have all kinds of flexible, multi-position studs already on the roster. [:D]

What do you mean, Ed? We have 53 year old (I'm guesstimating here) Jason Bartlett to save the day.

http://mlb.si.com/2014/04/02/ben-revere-homerless-streak-record-phillies/?eref=sihp Ben Revere didn’t hit a home run Tuesday night. That’s nothing new: Ben Revere hasn’t hit a home run since May 30, 2011, when he was with Triple-A Rochester, and he has never hit one in the major leagues. Still, Revere’s failure to hit a round-tripper Tuesday night made the record books, as he’s now reached 1,410 career plate appearances without one. Since 1947, no hitter (pitchers excluded) has stepped to the plate that many times in his career without hitting a single homer.

The only way he will ever get a home run is if he hits one that runs the gap in a big stadium, like Petco and he runs like hell.

MLB can take instant replay and shove it up their collective asses.

Black 47 -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (4/2/2014 10:05:52 PM)
Over five minutes to review it? Ineptitude.

While Perkins deflects the blame, this guy gets it ... Garza (0-1) made his first start for Milwaukee after signing a $50 million, four-year contract as a free agent. He allowed one run and two hits in eight innings, struck out seven and walked none, throwing 65 of 90 pitches for strikes. "It's one mistake and that's it. It's the big leagues," Garza said. "You've got to pay for things like that, especially with the heater to the four-hole hitter."

It's inevitable. We all have DVR's, HDTV with big screen TV's now, etc. The umps/refs in our sports don't have the same benefit. And especially for games (football/baseball) that take 3 hours but have long breaks in the action, I don't mind 2 extra minutes to make sure the call's right. Hell, I hope we have robotic/electronic umps for all balls/strikes soon (that will come in time). Get the calls right. The one issue I do have, in all sports: it should be 1 separate guy making those calls from the press box with access to all the video, rather than this drawn out "show" with a guy huddled in a booth or on the phone. Or heck, have 1 "hub" guy for all sports, and don't disclose his name or location. They could call it the "control room" or something and have fun with it. But get the calls right. I'm comfortable with my game taking 182 minutes instead of 180 to make sure the right outcome is reached.

They're smarter than anyone else in the bigs. 10 minutes is too long. Just ask Gardy. It ruined their whole day.

djskillz -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (4/3/2014 11:43:36 AM)
The replays are too long. But that's not a problem with doing replay itself. That's a system/MLB issue. Have replays, but fix the system. If you have a guy in a booth doing them, with the full feed, NO replay should take more than 2-3 minutes.

SoMnFan -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (4/3/2014 11:59:11 AM)
Lots of whining on MLB today and rightly so .... From Cubs and Mets fans. Huge markets. Money makers. And they go with small payrolls. I'd be pissed too. There's money in this league. Accepting being a loser every year is unacceptable.
