Giving a coin toss at a NFL Game or throwing out the opening pitch at at MLB game, which choice would you choose and why?\n\nI would rather throw out the first pitch at a MLB game since baseball is my favorite sport to watch.

Pitch at MLB because with a sport for the slow-witted like baseball I might even get myself a spot on the team.\n\nMLB players are so feminine the sport really can't be compared to NFL.

The situation might change. For instance, if there is only one runner on third base and the pitcher balks, there is suddenly nobody on base. There isn't much reason to intentionally walk a guy at that point. Other than that, I can't really imagine a time when you might do this.

Whether women should or should not be referees or ar's in mens football....... No matter his feelings, the way he expressed them should not have been done that way. I feel he would have said something if the call, or non call, was made by men. He lost a game and wants to put the entire game into that one second of football. How many chances did his team have that they did not take advantage of? \nAnyway, this is a good question and I am excited about the possible answers you will be getting on this subject.\nTake care.

BOSTON SOX ALL THE WAY!!! No, I'm not the least bit excited about baseball (can ya tell?). :) I'm really looking forward to the season, and my city now has a new 1A team that is a farm team for Boston. Go Drive!!! Ok, I know, the Greenville Drive isn't the most exciting name, but it's better than the Sand Gnats. No offense to the Sand Gnat fans meant of course.

Think you could do better???  Put down the Cheetos, pick up a whistle, get off your ass and try to do their job... It's a huge difference between a split-second decision in front of 30000 fans (half of who will think you fucked up the call) and taking a few seconds to think about it, seeing it from 2 different angles, with 3 replays each, from the comfort of your sofa...

wow guinevere kate, i didn't know you were proud of me. lol. see you at practice!\n\nfor those who didn't understand:\ni made the batter walk so by doing this, he can only go to the first base. if you have to take the walk, you are only allowed to go to the next base...nowhere else. the game doesn't and with him taking the walk...there are a lot of oppurtunities to tag him throughout the game.

Rest your pen, have the pitcher bunt, save the pinch hitter for later in the game. If your pitcher has that low pitch count and has given up only 5 hits, leave him in at least one more inning. If all goes right, you've got 2nd and 3rd w/2 outs and still have your starter on the mound. Just have your runners moving on the pitch to avoid DP.

Yeah, it was a bad call, a very bad call in the eighth inning.  Even Stevie Wonder would have been able to see that.  This is another example why baseball needs instant replay, that call wouldn't have been reversed if there had been replay.  Japan should boycott.

The difference is that MLB is a real sport;\n\nrounders is just a throw away game.

Here's a link to some very informative fast pitch material which, in chart form, nicely presents situations for a pitcher and recommended pitch types and placement. I'm sorry, it is much too detailed to recap for you here, but I recommend that if you are serious about being an effective fast pitch chucker, you place the link in your favourites or print it out. ty.

Baseball all the way.  I was born to love it, I guess.  There is no other explanation.

EA Sports bought the exclusive rights to the NFL for it's classic Madden title.  Therefore, 2K Sports retaliated by buying the exclusive rights to the MLB video game.  I am an avid MVP Baseball fan and I'm pissed off because MLB 06 is the worst baseball game I've ever played.  At least Madden was the best football game and it deserved the exclusive rights.  It's a tragedy that the public is deprived of a good baseball game this year, I just pray that its only this year!

You answered your own question.  Try it, and you'll be called for a balk.  However, it evens out because a lefty has a much easier throw to first than a righty.

the standard postioning is corners in and middle back.  if your team is up or tied,  you would want to move all your infielders in to not concede the run  depending on the confidence you have in your team,  you could again play your middle infielders back to get the out if the score is tied, but leave the corners in because of the possible bunt situation if you think your team doesn't have a problem scoring runs, the question that needs to be answered before you do anything is runs or outs, what do you need more

I love watching the Pro Bowl and the All Star Game for Baseball. I think it is such a great way to see the greatest people from each division go face to face, and see how they match up. It is also great to watch how the fans vote, and who has big fan bases. I don't really watch other events, but I do love watching those two. As for rotating, I like how it rotates in baseball, because of all the great parks, but as for football, it is kind of part of the fun that it is in Hawaii.

I think the decision of whether a ball is fair or foul - in the case of a disputed homer - is a fair item for replay.  It's not a knock on the umpires, but those calls can be tough to make when they happen as quickly as they do.\n\nOther than that, though, I don't like the idea of replay in baseball.  Sure, umpires make occasional bad and questionable calls on other plays (safe/out calls), but I don't think it happens as often as we sometimes think.  I'm also not sure that replay would make a difference on many of those calls, because they're likely to often be inconclusive, like many calls in the NFL.\n\nI'm very wary of replay because I've seen how ineffective it can be in the NFL.  For every one they rule on properly, there are several that just leave me scratching my head.  I don't want to see baseball go through those same pains.\n\nBaseball is a great sport, with umpires that generally do an outstanding job.  I'd hate to see their role reduced, or called into question, on a regular basis.  If we're going to start using replay for many cases, why not just cut out the umpires and make all the calls from upstairs?

Well, depending how theoretical you want to get.  There is an unenforced rule that a pitcher must throw a pitch within 20 seconds or a ball will be called.  He could do that 4 times, and a player would walk.  Then he could pick the player off.  The player would be out with 0 pitches.  Repeat 23 or 26 times, and you have a complete game without throwing a pitch.\n\nThe fact that the rule is not enforced is one problem with the scenario.  A player can also be out for changing which batter's box he stands in while the pitcher is ready to pitch.  So throw a few of those in there for variety's sake, and you get to 0 another way.
