There are several others. I have an MLB account, but it didn't ask me to sign in, so it is apparently free. I'm watching the Dodgers and Expos right now. What a great, nostalgic lineup for the Dodgers: Lopes, Russell, Baker, Garvey, Cey, Monday, Guerrero, Scioscia, Valenzuela. And the Expos had Raines, Dawson, Carter... Fun to watch (despite the ugly stadium).

Check it out.

I don't think I ever heard the term "pitch count". Also, after the Dodgers took the lead by 1 in the top of the 9th, Valenzuela still comes out to start the bottom of the 9th. There is absolutely NO chance of that happening today. Even after he walked Gary Carter and Lasorda visited the mound, he stayed in. A second 2-out walk got him pulled, but even then there was a question between the announcers about who might come in. Boy, how times have changed.
