Adjunct professor, Newhouse Sports Media Center, baseball guy, retired English teacher, and a few other things that qualify me to editorialize here.

@ESPN
Hey ... Admit any complicity in Chisholm's error while having an on-air conversation with your booth? Any chance you could add that as a bet on your conflict-of-interest-but-profitable for-you-and-MLB betting app?

[ProfCard4 @ProfCard4]

This is, of course, complete BS.
They are designed to infuse a large amount of money into Nike, MLB, and the licensed retailers in league with MLB. Anybody that thinks MLB cares about levity and culture is misinformed.

If you ever open a rule book, you will not find anything about a "catcher's balk" because there is no such thing.
This is the rule: 8.05(l) "The pitcher, while giving an intentional base on balls, pitches when the catcher is not in the catcher’s box"

@CrystalSeth @prospectdugout @CrosbyBaseball @wileyballard_ He dropped the ball while lying on the ground .... out.

Pro tip: When Suzyn Waldman repeatedly (and gladly to make her point) misquoted Aaron Boone today, she made it seem that he was criticizing an umpire unjustly, rather than the replay system justly. Quote people correctly

@NYnellie43
What compels you to waste air time talking about how you are in favor of a player staying out all night and then finding fault with him being penalized. Nobody actually gives a rats ass about your blathering about your own off field behavior.

@RealMichaelKay

Still no such thing as 6-6-3 double play. That ranks right up there with VOTNYY Emeritus John Sterling's erroneous and elitist reference to a "grounds rule double." You should both take a tour through a rule book

[ProfCard4 @ProfCard4]

@RealMichaelKay
I realize that you are Michael Kay and I'm not, but that STILL doesn't change the fact that 6-6-3 double play is incorrect scoring.

The highly anticipated return of Statler and Waldorf to the Syracuse Mets radio booth this weekend.

@NewhouseSports

Pro tip of the day: Ken Rosenthal asked Aaron Judge if he was "eager to get things turned around sooner rather than later." Duh. TV journalists are not always good at asking questions because they don't always think about the question. Think before you ask.

[ProfCard4 @ProfCard4]

Once again, ESPN has become unwatchable. It's a baseball game, not an audition for a future broadcaster.

[ProfCard4 @ProfCard4]

@PaulONeillYES Even you, a great hitter refer to pitchers making mistakes on home runs, rather than giving the batter credit for being good. Were all your HRs on mistakes? I don't think so, neither do you

@MichaelBenny @CNYCentral @MattMulcahy According to the School Board Assn. "School board candidates must be a U.S. citizen, at least 18 years old, qualified voters in the school district and able to read and write." Just because they have education doesn't mean they know anything about it.

@ProfNich Why have you not asked me?

@NYnellie43

Congratulations on apparently having played your entire MLB career without ever making a mental mistake.

@JoshNBCTV @syrpressclub I was hoping you would use this as your NBC head shot.

@RealMichaelKay
Interference is interference, regardless of intent. You should know the rules before you make pronouncements like you did today. The umpires missed it, so did you

Dyaisha Fair, first pitch, Syracuse Mets. This other first pitch thrower I photoed in 2012 has done pretty well, so it looks good for Dyaisha.
