I now find myself happy the Rays lost the other night.
Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to do this tonight.

I wish one of those cameras was the left-center offset camera, but with the PitchTrax on the screen. That’d be awesome. I’ve hated dead-center ever since ESPN tried to sell us on it, claiming it was their way of building up to K-Zone. Dead-center is crap, yet it’s the default pitch-by-pitch position in a couple of parks (Saint Louis, namely).

Wow, I feel like an idiot...
For not thinking of the most obvious way to have more than 27 outs. Really, I guess pitching four strikeouts in an inning, and losing one to a dropped ball, probably only counts for three statistically.

I think the pitcher would get credit for four strikeouts, though he’d only get credit for recording three outs (i.e., one inning pitched).
