Managers influencing scoreboard operators

By Tangotiger, 10:03 AM

Jayson Stark reports on this story of the scoreboard showing differnt pitch spees for Zumaya from GameDay and Fox. The differences were not between tracking the velocity from the mound or from the plate, since all the other pitchers were in-synch. No, Larussa telling the scoreboard operator seems to be the culprit. I remember when Pedro was hurt a few years ago, as the story goes, the scoreboard operator was told never to show a fastball pitch slower than 87mph.
