DoUEvenShift Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Ok so the drone delay got me thinking... Does MLB have any precautionary measures for this? What if someone had an expensive drone and sat 2 miles away and just left it in the stadium for an extended period of time. Could be done for a variety of reasons... Try to get a pitcher cold, get a PPD, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a new trend? I saw Vlad Jr run hard from first to home on a double last night and was so jealous that he didn’t even wince afterwards. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan49 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Someone had a great Velasquez stat during his last start about his W/L and ERA over his last ~10 starts. Was it @joesaiditstrue? Can someone upset that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not talking about a military grade drone I'm talking about an expensive personal drone- which is what I assume caused the delay at todays game.

Same difference. Small personal drones could carry enough weight to be a legit threat to kill someone. You have to have some way to get rid of those, and such systems do exist.

The price tag on something like these are in the $10s of thousands but that’s tiny compared with ballpark security. https://www.dronedefense.systems/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the detection aspect is pretty easy but I'm really interested in how the "countermeasures" work and if any potential attackers are actively/have already figured out a way to beat that countermeasure system. Might have to go on a Youtube binge tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least most lethargic, dispirited and poorly-managed. At this rate, Stone or LaRussa or Benetti will get in a fight with someone on the plane coming back. They should make them bus all the way back with a Monday off day. Edited April 24, 2022 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 (edited) Speaking of no offense, I give you TB and Boston. TB has no hitter through 9, going into Bottom of the 9th tied 0-0. Two hits and an error for TB. Edited April 24, 2022 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
