Quote of the Day
“Being perfect is not about that scoreboard out there. It’s not about winning. It’s about you and your relationship with yourself, your family and your friends.

Billy Bob Thornton, Friday Night Lights

— They’ve been talking on Mets’ TV broadcasts this week how official scorers give out a lot more hits now on marginal scoring decisions. Teams have their lowest batting averages since 1968, the year before they lowered the pitching mounds (and added four new teams).
There was a play Saturday night in Miami where Xavier Edwards was gifted a hit, when it was obviously an error. Official scoring needs to get better.
