QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 01:40 PM)
• A runner sliding into second has to make "a bona fide attempt" not just to slide into the base, but also to "remain on the base."

 

• Runners will not be allowed to change their "pathway to the base" in the middle of a slide to break up a double play.

 

• Baserunners can no longer use a "roll block" on an infielder to break up a double play. Essentially, that means they can't start their slide in midair and make contact with the infielder at or near the knee, with either a leg, arm or the body, before they've made contact with the ground.

 

• If a runner makes contact with the infielder illegally, both he and the batter would be called out.

 

• But if the runner makes contact with the infielder while attempting a "bona fide" slide, he would not be called for interference.

 

• Finally, because of these new safety measures, MLB and the union have agreed to allow umpires to more strictly enforce the "neighborhood play" and use replay to review that play for the first time.

Thanks!

If they get swept at home the first weekend, they will be just like the 2015 team in terms of sucking. I have not been impressed with Avila thus far and it's not a good thing that they haven't executed with runners on.

His stuff just isn't good to start the year

 

Sarcasm....half the people on here would be way happier if this team was in a constant state of rebuilding with no hope. Then they always have someone to pin blame on.

Definitely time to trade Sale.

Would that do the Sox much good? Would it make them better as a team?

 

Edit: Didn't see the sarcasm.

At least they'd have a direction. Feels like they're stuck in the mud now.

Right because this is the NFL with a 16 game season.

 

 

Give me a f***ing break.

What the f*** does that have to do with the NFL?

 

 

It's a long season. If you want to jump off a bridge in regards to this team just get it over with.
