3,000 hits is more important than a perfect game. So clearly, the pitcher should lob a BP fastball in the middle of the plate.

MLB has fixed the transfer rule nonsense, starting with today's games it will be called pretty much the same way its always been called for generations.

You only have to secure the ball in the glove for it to be a catch. If you are trying to transfer the ball to your throwing hand and drop it, its still a catch.

edit: I can't remember, have we ever been burned by/helped by this situation where for a little while these were ruled as no catch?

Fun fact of the day: when arranged a certain way, the AL West team logos spell out "asshat"

We lost 1-0 earlier in the year and we were helped by it. The guys in the booth and I either didn't know about the rule. It was crazy.

ROFL

Large chance the game tonight gets rained out.

Andy put on twitter that it's 70% chance on storms and its supposed to stay like that until at least midnight.

@McCulloughStar: If the game gets banged tonight, Yost believes there will be a split DH tomorrow. Guthrie would start Game 1, Ventura in Game 2.

Filter evasion? :)

For a moment there, I thought I'd clicked on the Lindsey Lohan thread.

No rainout!

Busy busy night. I've got Royals, Blackhawks, and Blazers games tonight!

Looking like a rain delay, but I think they can get the game in.

Go Hawks!

How long this thing gonna be?

Hey if we get game in, who is doing the game thread?

If nobody, I could try some rookie game thread starter mojo.
